You will find this sandy beach just 20 minutes away from the center of Athens by using the public transportation. Lovers of beach tennis easily find teammates, and are encouraged to take part in the local leagues and games. The seaside promenade that starts from Paleo Faliro near the marina of Flisvos is ideal for strolls at all hours of the day. During the early morning hours of the hot summer days, many folks opt for a stroll combined with small talk next to the sea shore, enjoying the morning breeze. Along the way you will encounter a giant live-action chessboard, ideal points for a swim, and many benches facing the sea, available for conversation or quiet reflection.
Continuing in the same direction, the next beach is that of Agios Kosmas, with free admission, followed by the delightful but somewhat expensive and crowded beach of Alimos.
A little further down, another busy sand beach, Asteria (Stars) located in the Municipality of Glyfada, offers such amenities as umbrellas, sun beds, changing booths, showers and snack bars. Also on offer are activities like tennis volley and football courts, water volleyball courts, and a water amusement park. Parking is free as long as you pay your admission to the beach.
Access to all the above beaches is easy either by tram 3 (Thucydides) or 5 (Plato) towards Asklipion Voulas, or by catching the bus (E22) from Athens, or the (A1) from Piraeus.
