This beach holds a special place in our hearts. Although it may become quite congested during the summer months due to its limited size, it remains our go-to destination during the colder seasons in Attica.

The beach, located in close proximity to Athens, may appear beautiful at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that there are actually three separate beaches, none of which are particularly impressive. The so-called nicest beach is nothing more than a small gulf, lacking any amenities such as umbrellas or sunbeds for rent. Visitors are left to fend for themselves, with no support or comfort provided. Overall, the beach is a disappointing destination, failing to live up to its initial promise.

This stunning beach has pristine, transparent waters that are an absolute must-see for anyone seeking a tranquil getaway near Athens. However, be aware that the summer months can draw large crowds, so plan accordingly.

The beach is a lovely spot to spend a day, although it can become quite crowded on weekends. The sand is partially submerged in water, creating a unique and interesting landscape. The atmosphere is very calming and peaceful, making it a great place to unwind. However, parking can be a bit of a challenge, so plan accordingly. Despite this, the beach is definitely worth a visit.

This beach near Athens is a hidden gem, with a surprisingly low number of visitors even in the peak of August. The sand is soft and inviting, although the ocean floor gets rockier as you venture further out. However, the depth of the water and its clarity make up for any discomfort. Keep in mind that the beach is not organized, so it's best to come prepared with your own supplies. On the way there, you'll pass by a couple of kiosks that can provide some last-minute items. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this beach and would definitely recommend it to others. (Note: the rocks in the photo are only present on the far left side of the beach.)
