What is the best beach in Vouliagmeni? Where can I cool off from the Athenian heat?
I don't remember how many times I've heard these questions from my guests after a morning hiking or even after a snorkeling experience (www.experience-eco.com) since the turquoise waters of Vouliagmeni look pretty charming and alluring even to locals!
Astir Beach
One of the most exclusive beach clubs in Athenian Riviera, Astir Beach is set on 300 meters of coastline in the crystal blue waters of the exclusive Vouliagmeni peninsula. Astir Beach is open to the public but for a significant entry fee, the upside being the facilities are in pristine condition and the service level is high.
Everything you could wish for is here; small designer boutiques, massage therapists, and attentive beachside food and drink service. Full dining restaurants are also a few steps away. The scattering of ancient ruins on display reminds you of which city you are in. Water sports, yoga on the beach, this is how the other half lives.
Bungalows can be reserved and you should call in advance. Bring your best body and gear with you!
Akti Vouliagmeni beach
Large well-kept lawns surround this beach. Many play on the outdoor courts, which include tennis, volleyball, and basketball. Others set up small picnics away from the busy shoreline.
Akti Vouliagmenis is an ideal location to spend outdoors if you have a family with kids or enjoy being active. Offering a full range of amenities; first aid station, a kid’s playground, elegant beach chairs and umbrellas plus free Wi-Fi.
A short walk up the beach is a seaside fish taverna ideal for lunch or dinner and basic food and drink kiosks are on-site.
Asteras Beach -Balux
An upmarket complex offering good value for money. For those willing to pay an entry fee, Asteras Beach offers sun-beds and umbrellas, lockers, changing rooms, showers, trampolines, a kids playground, a self- service restaurant, three bars and water sports. The restaurants and bars can also be accessed without payment.
Choose between the sandy beach or ritz it up at the Balux seaside pool, bars and restaurants and stay long after sundown.
Yabanaki beach
One of the largest beach clubs on the riviera, the Varkiza Resort (at the suburbs of Vouliagmeni) offers a selection of restaurants and facilities that make it a comfortable family day at the beach.
With a beachside souvlaki eatery, pizzeria, and sushi bar, it makes every effort to please. Beach tennis and a children’s water park are also available along with a quiet area used for wellness and massage. There’s a big take up of water sports such as windsurfing and water skiing.
You will need to pay extra for your sunbed and umbrella but you will find it all here in one place. Partygoers can stay until late.
Vouliagmeni lake beach
Vouliagmeni Lake, in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, is the hidden treasure of Attica’s nature. Situated on an idyllic landscape, this rare geological phenomenon is included in Greece's national NATURA 2000 network. Its brackish waters, rich in salts and minerals, have a temperature between 22o to 29o degrees all year round.
Waters are continuously replenished both by the sea and the underground thermal springs, 50 to 100 meters deep, offer a natural and unique thermal spa experience. Swimming in the lake is more than pleasurable, it’s a holistic experience, stimulating the swimmers’ energy and balancing their wellness.
The Garra Rufa fish – known as spa fish –are part of the Lake’s unique ecosystem. Sunbeds and umbrellas are offered around the Lake’s shoreline. An all-day restaurant offers a culinary experience. Prive Area promises moments of lavishness and complete relaxation.
