About this day

A day for the sea rather than for sights. Your chauffeur takes you down the coast to Glyfada for a stroll along the marina and the promenade.

Then comes Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural lake of mineral water under a limestone cliff, warm enough for a swim for most of the year. You have about two hours to swim and relax on the loungers.

The last stop is Varkiza, with its long sandy beach and seafront tavernas, ideal for a fish lunch before the short drive back to the centre. Available May to October.

Your day, stop by stop

A guide plan for the 09:30 departure; times are approximate.

  1. 09:30

    Pick-up at your hotel

    Or any address in Athens.

  2. ~10:00

    1. Glyfada marina and promenade · 30 min here

    A stroll past the yachts on the seafront promenade.

    Walk along Glyfada's marinas and the palm-lined promenade, with cafés facing the yachts and the open Saronic Gulf.

  3. ~10:50

    2. Lake Vouliagmeni · 120 min here

    Swim in a warm mineral-water lake beneath a cliff.

    The lake is fed by underground springs mixing with the sea, so the water stays mild for much of the year and small fish nibble at your feet. Entry is paid at the gate, with sun-bed packages extra; bring water shoes for the rocky edges.

  4. ~13:00

    3. Varkiza seafront · 75 min here

    A sandy beach and seafront tavernas for a fish lunch.

    Varkiza's long sandy bay is one of the easiest beaches on the Riviera. Pick a taverna on the seafront for a long lunch, then your chauffeur takes you the short way back to the centre.

  5. ~15:00

    Back at your hotel

    About 5½ hours after pick-up.
