Why Visit the Athens Riviera
When you visit Greece, visiting or staying in the Athenian Riviera and touring with Athenian Riviera Tours (the sister company to Eyia Retreats) is a must!
The Athenian Riviera is rich in ancient history, culture, delicious dining, art, beautiful nature, good weather, and the most scenic turquoise coastline. When you visit the Athenian Riviera, you get to experience the sweet slowness of island life while having everything at your fingertips with vibrant local towns as well as the city center just forty minutes away.
What is the Athens Riviera
The Athenian Riviera is the coastal area in the southern suburbs of Athens, Greece. It stretches from Piraeus, the main port of Athens, to the southernmost points of Attica, Cape Sounio. It has both organized and unorganized beaches to explore, and is considered the warmest area in continental Europe.
Athenian Riviera Tours bases their work from Glyfada to Sounio, where you get the best of both worlds – island-like beach vibes and a close drive to the hustle and bustle of the ancient city center.
