OUR AREA: THE ATHENIAN RIVIERA

Some of the best sandy beaches in Greece, all with lounge beds and sun umbrellas, are at a short walking distance from the Villa.

In fact 3 lovely organized sandy beaches, one with a small children's playground (Aghios Nikolaos) and all with nice beach restaurants, are just down the road at short walking distance and are awaiting you.

The closest beach is at just an 800 meter walk (the others are at a 8 and 10 minute walk).

All 3 beaches are operational from April 1 to October 31; one beach (Bali beach) stays open all year round.

Many more sandy but also rocky beaches, both secluded and organized, can be found all along the south Athens Riviera coastal line, from "Varkiza", down to our village "Lagonisi".

At just a short walk from the villa are a mini market and, a seaside cafeteriaakery and a Greek seaside Taverna/restaurant.

The main street of our village, with supermarkets, shops, cafeteria's and restaurants is at just 1km-3/4mile; about a 15 minute walk.

There are also many interesting places to visit near by, such as "Cape Sounion" with the famous Temple of Poseidon with its magical sunset.

The picturesque village of "Porto Rafti" with its lovely bay and walking boulevard full of restaurants, which looks like a Greek island.

"Vravrona", with the ancient Temple of Artemis the Greek goddess of hunt and nature.

"Varkiza", with its seaside walking boulevard, many restaurants, fishmarket and the wondeful beach/ sports complex "Yabanaki" resort.

The impressive Vouliagmeni cave lake resort, where one can swim in lukewarm "healing" water all year round is an absolute "must".

The cosmopolitan city of "Glyfada", with its large shopping boulevards with shops of all kinds, cafeteria's and seaside walk, is a favorite for an evening outing, both for Athenians and tourists.

ATHENS

On the other hand however you are also “just around the corner” from Athens center, one of Europe's oldest and most interesting cities, with many breathtaking places to see and visit.

Athens center is easily accessible by public transport. The 122 Athens urban bus, which passes every 25 minutes, takes you along the beautiful coastal road straight to the metro station, from which it is just a few stops to the Acropolis. The trip by bus and metro to Athens center takes a little over 1 hour.
A 5 day unlimited travel card for both the Athenian 122 bus and the Athens metro, only costs 9 euro.

Apart from the famous Acropolis, the city also offers a number of other large impressive ancient sites, where one feels like taking a journey back into time.

Little electric street trains, open air double deck “hop on hop off” buses, horse carts, stand up mopeds and family bike carts, are just a few of the means available to explore the unique Athens center around the Acropolis. The new impressive Acropolis museum, which has been voted as one of the best museums in the world, is a “must”.

The world famous "Plaka" Athens tourist area, with its many narrow roads full of little shops and restaurants with live music, is considered to be one of the best tourist areas of any city in Europe and is an “obligatory visit”, both during the day as well as in the evening; experiencing that special “Athens by Night” feeling !

Lycabettus hill truly is impressive, offering a stunning view of the city. The “Teleferic” train, takes you up the hill though a tunnel inside (!) the mountain, where you can sit at the top restaurant and have a magnificent view over the city all the way to Piraeus harbor.

One must also visit the parliament building with the traditional Greek guards and of course let's not forget the lively center of modern Athens itself, with a its colorful neighborhoods and famous nightlife.

The picturesque "Mikrolimano" harbour in Piraeus (40 minutes by car from the villa), also is a tourist favorite.

The beautiful Saronic Gulf Islands: Aegina, Hydra and Spetses, are also easy to visit on day trips.

What can I say, this is one of the best stays I have had. Kon the owner and his family were wonderful and so helpful. He met us at the airport to ensure that there were no problems getting to the apartment. He then had a load of trips and suggestions which he could either take us to (which I would recommend as his knowledge was immense on the area) He took us to an unknown tourist place in the middle of Athens which looked like you were on an island. The cost of these tours were such good value much cheaper than the tourist organised ones which rush you and have no real knowledge of the area, however if you wish to go it alone that's also fine. He is great as he respects your privacy also and you can use his knowledge as much or as little as you wish thus providing a great balance for all. If all you want to do is chill by the pool there is no issue or pressure to do anything. Absolutely perfect for all types of travellers. I'd definitely go back and would recommend this accommodation.

I cannot say enough about our trip. From the booking process to our departure, our host Con made it seamless and stress free. From pick up at the airport, to taking us to the supermarket and acting as our tour guide on some of his stunning day tours. It truly was an amazing holiday! The property itself was awesome, with a full Kitchen, 2 bedrooms, good size bathroom. It has more than enough space, and a back yard to relax in at the end of our day, with a pool!! It is close to the supermarket, local bakery and only 7 minute walk to some of the most beautiful little beaches. Con offers several choices for amazing 1/2 day and full day tours, at extremely reasonable prices which we took full advantage of! In just 5 days in Athens we were able to do a full day walking tour, and 2 other tours which took us to some of the most beautiful sites , ruins and scenes in and around Athens. This property and our host made our girls trip even better than I could have hoped for. You will not be disappointed! I hope to plan my next trip with my family back to our new friends very soon !!

Kon was extremely accommodating, picked us up at the airport when we arrived and dropped us off at the cruise ship port when we left. He offers several tours that he will take you on, we did three, on three different days. We enjoyed them very much, he shared a lot of information about Greece.

This stay was exactly what we were looking for! The home was comfortable and clean in a quiet community but only a 5-minute walk to 3 lovely beaches. Our stay at Con and Karins 2 bedroom ground floor apartment was very enjoyable. Each day we would start the day with coffee on the patio overlooking the pool and then later walk to the beach to relax or swim in the sea. On several evenings, we would walk to the beach to watch the sunset. Con picked us up at the Athens airport and drove us back to his place with a stop at a grocery store so that we could have what we needed for the week. We did 2 tours that he put together to highlight several of the attractions in and around Athens. It was nice to learn about Athens from a local without having to be in a large group. Con also suggested several areas to go and visit on our own and also places to eat and see. Everything that he showed us and also suggested turned out to be the highlight of our 2-week trip. Con took all of the stress out of being a tourist in a new country. The public transportation is easy to access right down the street from the apartment and will allow you to visit all over the Athens area. I highly recommend a stay at the Athens Riviera Apt if you want a place out of the crowds and heat of Athens and have access to the beautiful Sea!

We had an amazing holiday at Con and Krin’s apartment on the Athens Riviera. The house is exactly as described in the listing, with a super swimming pool and outdoor space and tables at both front and back of the property, meaning we could enjoy sun all day and a lovely and very clean indoor space The property is 5 minutes walk to several beaches, and there is a really super bakery/patisserie and a supermarket close by too and lots of great seafood-based restaurants. The best bit of the holiday though was the service, which was impeccable! Con contacted us beforehand to offer a pick up from the airport, and was very helpful on arrival showing us the local area, a stop at a supermarket to get provisions and a visit to a local restaurant. We all really enjoyed the two excursions - one to Athens centre, which Con made very family friendly for our two young girls, and a super trip at sunset to the Poseidon Temple. Con also helped us out hugely when our flight back was brought forward at the last minute, commandeering a car to get us to the airport on time. We couldn’t ask for a better host experience, thank you.

The property was exactly as advertised. It was about an hour from Athens and very close to the beach. The neighborhood is clean, safe, easily accessible by public transport, not congested, and very well lit by street lights at night. The owner is very friendly, helpful and accessible. Bedrooms are nice size with big closets. Living room and dining area is spacious with big dinner table. Kitchen is also good size with plenty of cabinets and all appliances in good working condition and clean. Bathroom is clean and everything in it works. A little distance from Athens and having to use bus and train is well worth the savings in rent costs. The owner is very willing to help with transportation in his car when requested.

We spent a wonderful week at Con's place in Aug 2022 with our 2 young children (5 and 7yrs old). Overall, we felt this break was the perfect mix of city sightseeing and relaxing beach holiday. We arrived late and were met with a warm welcome from Con at the airport to bring us to the accommodation which made our journey there stress free. They had provided a home cooked meal for us and the children for our convenience due to our late arrival which was both thoughtful and much appreciated! The apartment was spacious, comfortable and well equipped, the garden great for the children playing, the pool a welcome relief from the heat! We chose 2 tours with Con. One into Athens before having a day exploring the city on our own. He was informative, made it fun for our boys and tailored it to our needs going over and above what we expected. The second was a trip to the Temple of Poseidon at sunset followed by an enjoyable meal in a local restaurant- a great way to spend the evening. We spent afternoons and evenings at the local beach within easy walking distance. We all loved Bali beach, and played happily for hours in the beautiful, blue, shallow waters before enjoying a meal at the beach bar. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. There is also a lovely cafe/ coffee shop/ bakery at the end of the road which is not to be missed. We really appreciated the efforts made by Con and Karin to help us make the most of our stay- recommendations for places to visit, advice on public transport, the kind offer of lifts where needed. For a week, we did not feel we needed a car ourselves but for longer stays this may be useful. We would highly recommend a stay here, and have taken away many happy memories from our week in Greece! Many thanks to Con and Karin for their hospitality during our time in their place.
