About this property

Explore Athens and Beyond

Experience the perfect vacation spot at this beautiful 3rd floor apartment located right across Agios Spiridon Beach in Porto Rafti. Just 15 minutes by car from the airport and 35 minutes from Athens, this tranquil retreat offers stunning views of the sea and is only a 2-minute walk from the beach. With another breathtaking beach called Erotospilia just a 7-minute walk away, you're sure to indulge in a blissful escape from everyday life.

Discover the charm of Porto Rafti, located on the picturesque Eastern coast of Attica. This vibrant area is part of the Attica Riviera and is situated in close proximity to the Rafina and Lavrio ports, providing easy access to the celebrated islands of the Aegean Sea.

For decades, Porto Rafti has been a beloved vacation spot for Athenians due to its stunning natural landscape, complete with pine forests, multi-colored beaches, and crystal-clear waters. Enjoy the perfect Greek holiday while still being in proximity to Athens, with its vast array of historical monuments, museums, archaeological sites, and rich culture.

Explore the neighboring areas of Vravrona, Artemida, Lavrio, Sounio (with its famous Temple of Poseidon), and the historic city of Marathon (which gave its name to international marathons), all just a short drive away (around 15-45 minutes, depending on location). Experience the best of both worlds in this exquisite seaside paradise.

Excellent apartment on the sea beach close to Athens

Very nice large quiet apartment with absolutely fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with very good facilities. Everything is as described on the website. It was very good to stay with kids. Situated on the quiet beach, perhaps about 150 meters to touch the sea. There is a small supermarket with food, also with fruits and vegetables on the way to the beach, next to it there is a nice bakery with fresh bread and other bakery products. Relatively big supermarket is 30 minutes walking. There are also different restaurants some 10-15 minutes walking. The huge terrace with sea, beach and mountains view is the perfect place to sit with family and have a meal or just do nothing after swimming, and as this is 3rd floor, the view is excellent. From the bus stop near the house there is a bus to Athens, which takes about 1.5 hours one way trip. Owner is a kindly person with a very nice approach, so we were good surprised of hospitality, giving us feeling that we visit friends, what we very much appreciate.
