The roads to the flat are partially moderately steep for the last 30-40 meters, and whilst this might not be ideal for people who are facing significant difficulties with walking, it allows enjoying the beautiful sea view and sunset cocktails from the roof terrace of the building (chairs available in the sofa storage space; please ask for the key to the terrace).

The apartment is based on the south coast of Athens, in a beautiful and tranquil area of Vouliagmeni, known also as ‘Athens Riviera’.
It reminds me of a beautiful island, busy enough and serene at the same time, elegant with its shores and lake, and with the perks of Athens downtown and near by islands at easy reach, perfect blend!

Vouliagmeni is well known for its’ organised and recently modernised Vouliagmeni Beach and Marina, with beautiful shores and beach sports and activities, and plenty more hidden and less known small beaches and shores near by. Vouliagméni also allows for active style holidays, with a wide range of water sports (waterski, windsurfing, diving, snorkelling, paddle boarding and sailing - with schools available in each category, all 4-5 min walking distance), swimming, cycling, gym facilities, hiking, amazing coastal scenery walks and run, all available in close proximity (5-10 minutes walking distance).

Important to mention are the well known and near by Vouliagmeni Lake (5-6 min walking distance) which maintains the temperature of 24 C all around the year, but also miles of long and incredible coastal scenery and crystal blue water and the near by Vouliagmeni Hill - just above the Vouliagméni Lake and overlooking the coast, for your walks / hiking with the accompanying incredible views.

There is a plethora of near by restaurants, bars, coffee shops, funky clubs and pubs, bakery, supermarket, pharmacy, market and bio market for fresh fruits and vegetables; beauty and massage saloon, gym, tennis and beach volleyball, horse riding, cycling clubs - all at the walking distance of 5-10 minutes; and many of the near by open air live events like music concerts, open air cinema and theatre.

Last, but not least, the fabulous shopping area in the lively Glyfada with its stylish and fashionable shops and bars area, only 10 min drive away, check it out!

Additionally to Vouliagmeni and near by suburbs, there is the famous and buzzing Plaka, Thisio and Monastiraki square in Athens downtown, with its’ famous cosy tavernas, tiny streets and market, and of course - the world famous ancient site Acropolis, it’s a must!

It takes about 30 minutes drive to the centre of Athens outside of peak hours, same for the port of Pireas, and it takes about 25 - 30 minutes drive to the airport; you can easily visit the near by islands like Aegina, Tzia, Paros and Idra (all between 1-2 hours away from Athens - very nice ferry boat journey from Pireas or Laurio), and plethora of other islands. I surely would not want to forget to mention the near by ancient sites like Sunion (Poseidon Temple), and Delphi. So, there is a bit of everything, for everyone's taste - variety and fun at every corner!

There is plenty of choice regarding your transport, with high number of car rental companies and public transport in a way of buses, trams, metro and yellow taxi easily at reach; bus station (bus N122); additionally, there are online taxi companies available e.g. Uber and Beat (both use Apps so you would need to download them; Beat is Greek taxi App similar to Uber).

I hope you will enjoy visiting Vouliagméni and Athens. I wish you great holidays and lasting memories!
