This is an ideal place for swimming, relaxing at a waterfront café or taverna and promenades along the quiet picturesque pedestrian streets and marinas. You can also dine by the sea or shop in one of the area’s exclusive shops and modern shopping centres. Places to visit in the surrounding area include:

• Acropolis of Athens

The former citadel in the heart of Athens contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon commissioned by Pericles in the 5th century BCE.

The renowned Acropolis Museum designed by New York-based architect Bernard Tschumi and Greek architect Michael Photiadis houses artefacts from the Acropolis. An optional private tour of the museum is planned on the evening of the 25th May, including transportation and dinner at the museum.

• Faliro

Some of the most impressive yachts in the Mediterranean dock at Flisvos Marina. The pedestrian promenade is the destination for a relaxing stroll, a fancy cocktail or a great meal with a perfect sea view.

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center is the newest attraction to the area, thanks to generous philanthropic support of the late shipping tycoon Stavros Niarchos and renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano. It is a multifunctional and environmentally sustainable education, arts and recreation destination, serving as the new home to both the National Library of Greece and the Greek National Opera, and also hosts various workshops for adults and children, as well as cultural events.

• Glyfada

Glyfada’s downtown area is an energetic shopping hub where boutique shops are dispersed amongst cafes, eateries and bars.

• Vouliagmeni

A marina and series of private beaches are the hallmarks of the seaside suburb of Vouliagmeni, where the picturesque harbour offers stunning views of the distant Saronic Gulf islands. The suburb name was taken after Lake Vouliagmeni (‘Sunken Lake’), renowned for its healing and rejuvenating waters.

• Cape Sounion

Referred to in Homer’s Odyssey as as ‘the sacred cape of the Athenians’, Cape Sounion is the southernmost tip of the greater Athens area. The inspiring Temple of Poseidon built on the ruins of an Archaic temple in honour of the god of the sea is a must see. Perched high on the rocky headland jutting out over the Saronic Gulf, the gleaming marble columns once welcomed the ancient Athenians home as they sailed back into the Aegean Sea. Today, Cape Sounion is one of the most coveted spots on the Riviera to admire the sunset.
