    The Attica region is surrounded on 3 sides by the sea so no wonder that dozens of beaches are available. The best ones are found along the so called 'Athens Riviera' along your route and are more organised but there are also many further towards The Temple of Poseidon if you prefer something quieter. Whatever your beach preference, just let your driver know & he will include the best option for a swim!
