It's disheartening to see the typical levels of cigarette butts scattered across the beach. It's a shame that some smokers can't seem to leave the beach as they found it. However, the water quality is fantastic and there are plenty of fish to observe.

As someone who has fond childhood memories of this spot, I may be a bit partial, but I truly believe it to be one of the finest beaches in close proximity to Athens. In just over an hour's drive from the bustling city center, you'll find a slice of paradise with two beach bars that cater to your every whim. On weekends, you can rent an umbrella and a pair of sunbeds for a reasonable 20 euro fee, while on all other days they are complimentary with a minimum purchase requirement.

Although the beach was bustling with activity, it didn't quite meet our expectations in terms of quality, as it was quite rocky. The cafe on the premises was decent, but the menu was somewhat restricted. Nonetheless, we appreciated the ample seating and room available, especially when compared to Sunion beach, which we initially visited but had to leave. Overall, it may not be the most ideal destination for a long drive, but it's certainly worth considering.

This beach located in the Athen's region is a stunning and pristine destination that is perfect for families. With two beach bars available, my personal preference is the Charakas beach bar on the right side which offers a more peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The amenities provided such as toilets, changing rooms, showers, sunbeds, and umbrellas are all available free of charge. The only minor inconvenience is that you will need to make your own coffee, but this is not an issue if you bring your own supplies to the beach.
