Beach
Outdoor Activities
Simos Beach is a renowned destination for summer holidays in Greece, located just 3 km from the main village of Elafonisos, Skala. It boasts fine golden sand dunes and crystal-clear waters, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Accessible by car or boat from Skala village, this sandy paradise offers two beaches meeting to create large sandy hills. The clean waters and pink-tinged sand make it an ideal spot for sunbathing and swimming.
Fabulous place! The sign that reads "This way to paradise" is absolutely correct. Two perfect sandy beaches with shallow turquoise waters. Incredible dunes with tufts of wild oregano. There is even a nearby hill to take a walk, but bring shoes because there are some sharp rocks.
George N — Google review
Astonishing sandy beach. Blue clear and shallow water 💙 At the beginning of September we found a calmy and hot water just perfect to swim and enjoy this beautiful place. It is the most beautiful beach on the island, and if you want to have a breathtaking view climb the hil that is near to see why this place is so appreciated by so many people.
Cucu A — Google review
"This way to paradise" was so accurate. By far the most gorgeous beach with the best water for swimming I've ever visited. Extremely shallow with white sand and warm water, I could stay all day. The chairs are overpriced so I'd recommend just sitting on the sand, it is soft and relaxing either way
Panayiote S — Google review
The beach is one of the most beautiful that I have ever visited. Clean water and luxurious sand. The review is for the team that was renting out beach chairs and umbrellas. They were kind and fair. 35€ for the set of wooden beds and umbrellas. 20€ for the set of regular beach chairs and umbrellas. Worth the price. The same team brought us delicious coffees and cold water. Reasonably priced. Great spot!!
A B — Google review
Wonderful beach , one of the best in Greece. Do not pay for sunbeds 50 euros per set, it doesnt worth it. Bring your own chsirs and umbrellas. Also the coffee we paid was one of the most expensive , 5 euros each for an average coffee
Maria D — Google review
This is an amazingly beautiful beach on Elafonissos. Take a quick ferry from Pounta. You need a car here. Water is an amazing blue and crystal clear. Sugar sand beach. There is no shade— you’ll need an umbrella or need to rent from a beach bar. Worth the trip
Sam E — Google review
One of the best beaches I have ever seen - it can easily compete with beaches in the Caribbean. Parking is free and there is one big parking area. The sunbeds and umbrella cost 40€ per day(June 2025), which is quite a lot, but it pays off. We spent the whole day there and it was a day in paradise. Food and drinks can be ordered directly to the beach for a little tip.
Manuel W — Google review
I’ll start with the good — a very beautiful beach, stunningly colored water (warm, even when it’s windy), and trash bins available. Now, what somewhat spoiled the mood — on the part of the beach where there’s easy access to the water without rocks, there are two rows of sun loungers. If you come with your own umbrella, you’ll be asked to move further away and not sit in front of them (so you don’t ruin the view with your “cheap” umbrella?). I wouldn’t mind paying for one of their loungers, but wait — what do I actually get for 50 euros besides the lounger itself? Nothing. No changing rooms, no showers, and most importantly — no toilet. The umbrellas are old and worn, and the mattresses are stained and shabby. In my opinion — and forgive me if this sounds subjective — it comes across as disrespectful and greedy. If you walk further down the beach and reach another one, you’ll find a lovely café and a toilet there.

Voidokilia Beach

Mentioned on 
+77 other lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Nestled in a protected bay, Voidokilia Beach is often hailed as one of the most stunning beaches in Greece. Its pristine crescent-shaped shoreline and crystal-clear waters make it an ideal spot for beach lovers and nature enthusiasts seeking tranquility in a breathtaking natural setting. Families with children can enjoy the calm, shallow waters while older visitors relax on the soft sands.
Voidokilia Beach is really a beautiful place, I think it is my favorite beach from those that I have visited during my two weeks holiday in the Peloponnese area. It is a fine sand beach with crystal clear water, also it has shallow water and it is perfect for kids. Comparing with the other beaches the water felt cooler but it was acceptable on the 11th of September. No beach bars, no sunbeds just a wild beach where you have to bring with you what you will need for a day to relax and enjoy this magnificent place. The parking place is near and the road is narrow in some places but it is accessible with every type of car. There are two restaurants/taverns at 1km distance away from the beach where you can eat. P.S1. For those people who are smoking and are reading this review, please 🥺 take with you the cigarette butts and don't let them in the sand, you are ruining such a beautiful place created by nature. P.S2. If you were able to bring with you on the beach a cup of coffee or something to eat, then you are able to carry it out from the beach and throw it in a trash can, don't let your garbage everywhere.

Exquisite sandy beach with clear waters and interesting geography. The waters are shallow making them ideal for children. There is not much shade at the beach. No amenities like shower.
Oly.ana O — Google review
Beautiful beach with crystal clear water and spectacular views from surrounding hills. Note that there aren’t any beach bars or restaurants but there are several that are only 5-10min away - some of them even deliver directly to the beach. It can get pretty crowded during busy seasons so it’s the best to arrive before 10am to find yourself a good spot.
Katarina M — Google review
Such a unique beach. Visited middle of October on a weekday and had great weather and small crowds. Parked along the road. No entry or parking fees. Some great hikes too.
EveryDayGlory ! — Google review
Bring your own towels, chairs or umbrellas. The beach does not have any sort of commercial activity so there is also no food or water for sale. The water however is extremely warm and clean, amazing swimming location. Also to the left there is a hike to a cave and then past the cave to a castle which leads to a STUNNING view. It is a difficult hike but absolutely worth it!
Panayiote S — Google review
On of the best and most unique beaches of Peloponnese due to its peculiar shape. The coastline is wide enough and the sunset is marvelous.
Vasileios K — Google review
Seems like a beautiful beach but word of caution - BE CAREFUL ABOUT PARKING AFTER RAIN! My car was stuck in the wet mud and could not move out. Had to call for a tow truck. Please be careful when driving after rain and do not go into the muddy area! Unfortunately I didnt get to visit the beach itself, but huge thanks to the wonderful greek locals who were so helpful and concerned for my situation!
J — Google review
Voidokilia Beach is located a bit outside Pylos, along the beautiful Navarino coast. It’s a completely natural beach, once used as an ancient port, sitting just below the Paleokastro fortress and near the famous Thrasymedes Tholos Tomb, a Mycenaean burial site dating back more than 3,000 years. The area is steeped in history, with legends linked to King Nestor and his son Thrasymedes, making the visit even more fascinating. The water is crystal clear, and you can drive right up to the beach, but keep in mind that there are no facilities. This is pure, untouched seaside tourism, so make sure to bring water, umbrellas, and everything you need. The beach forms a perfect semicircle — resembling a cow’s belly, which inspired its name — and because it’s relatively small, it’s best to arrive early as it can get crowded. We arrived later in the afternoon due to a road closure caused by an overturned car, which delayed us a bit. The road leading there is narrow, so take it slow, but it’s absolutely worth it. Many call Voidokilia one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Personally, I found it stunning, maybe not quite at the extreme level of hype, but definitely a unique and memorable place, perfect for breathtaking photos and a special experience.

When planning a visit to the captivating Neda Waterfalls, you'll find that parking for light vehicles is conveniently available nearby. This enchanting destination, located in the picturesque Peloponnese region, invites nature lovers and thrill-seekers alike to explore its stunning landscapes. The journey begins at a designated parking area where visitors can leave their cars before embarking on a scenic 600-meter trail.
Do not drive further in a small car - it is too dangerous and steep, rocky with loose gravel. I tried it and barely made it out.
Linas D — Google review
While we did see small cars going further, also I wouldn't recommend a tourist in a rental car getting further than here. We parked here and while walking down were greeted by two guys on the back of a pickup truck, that drove them back uphill shouting "5€ on way back" at us...and that's precisely what we did, too: The pickup truck with seating in the pickup area made from rolled-up carpets may be waiting at the bottom-most parking lot and charges 5€ per person. That is the way to go and a lot of extra fun!
Birger H — Google review
Don't go any further with non 4 x4 vehicles. Good accessible parking lot, last 600 meter is a gravel road. Slow speed is enough to get to the parking.

(Translated by Google) A helpful pin. It prepares you that there is a safe place to leave the car before the descent for the car. If you want, you can go down and try it. But it is definitely preferable only if you have a 4x4. The road from here on is downhill and a bit inhospitable, so everyone takes responsibility. Generally, by foot it is a 13 minute descent on foot and then a 20 minute climb on foot, so in general patience is needed. There is space for several cars. (Original) Μια βοηθητική πινέζα. Σε προετοιμάζει πώς υπάρχει ενα ασφαλές μέρος να αφήσεις το αμάξι πριν τον κατήφορο για το αμάξι. Αν θες κατεβαίνεις και δοκιμάζεις. Αλλά σίγουρα είναι προτιμότερο μόνο αν έχεις ένα 4x4. Ο δρόμος από εδώ και κάτω είναι κατηφορικός και λίγο αφιλόξενος, οπότε ο καθένας αναλαμβάνει την ευθύνη. Γενικότερα, με πόδια είναι κάνα 13 κάθοδος με τα πόδια και μετά κάνα 20 λεπτό ανέβασμα με πόδια, συνεπώς γενικότερα χρειάζεται υπομονή.υπαρχει χώρος για αρκετά αμάξια.

Great monastery dating from the 15th century, perched on the side of the rock. It used to be a nunnery, but since the last nun died, the place is looked after by priests who go and open it in the morning and close at sunset and leave. You can wander around and go into the two churches, but the nuns' cells are closed, as they are no longer occupied. The road getting there is very good. Don't miss out on taking photos from the view point from the road below.

After breakfast by the sea, we check out and continue along the coast road with wonderful views to the village of Leonidio. From here we choose the road into the mountains, which first follows a valley and later winds its way up the mountain in ever steeper bends. Our first stop is the 16th century orthodox monastery of Elonis. It sticks like a swallow's nest under the ledge and you have fantastic views in the morning sun. We are apparently the first visitors and a priest finishes his cell phone call and lights incense as we arrive. In the church there is a lot of gold on the icons and there is a holy spring. On the breakneck path to the monastery you can still take a look at the massive old discarded gate.

We went there during the 25th of March celebrations period. It was beautiful, the entire town was getting ready for the march with the unique torches as a symbol of the contribution of the town in producing gunpowder during the revolution. The museum showed the actual machinery that is water operated to produce the gunpowder, and so many other things. The place is neat, pretty well explained in English and very unique.

A very interesting museum in the countryside where you can find information on how leather was processed and gunpowder was produced in Greece 2 centuries back. We visited on a week day and there were not many visitors, only a few pupils from a school. The visit shouldn't take more than an hour. Make sure you see how the wooden sticks move with the power of the water to smash gunpowder grains. 5 stars, highly recommended!

Nestled in the heart of the Peloponnese region of Greece, Kapsia Cave is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Discovered in the late 19th century, this cave has garnered international attention for its stunning geological formations. Despite being relatively unknown to many travelers, it is considered one of the top ten caves in Greece. Guided tours are available every half hour from 09:00 to 15:00, making it accessible for visitors of all ages.
Kapsia Cave was an amazing place to visit in the countryside of Greece. Although the cave was visited by dozens of Greek students, they still managed to add some extra tourists to the student groups. Such a good service! And even though the presentation was in Greek which I absolutely don't understand, the cave and the atmosphere was astonishing! I would give this place seven stars of five!

Hidden gem in Arcadia! Stunning natural formations, fascinating history and an overall magical atmosphere. But what truly made our visit special was our amazing tour guide: kind, incredibly knowledgeable and so passionate about her work. She didn’t just share facts she brought the cave’s history to life with the way she spoke. A big bravo to the entire team, it’s clear they love what they do. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it, it’s absolutely worth the visit!

Loved the tour through this spectacular cave, felt like I got to the heart of Arcadia. The guide, Savas, is just so passionate and talented that you are going to love it too. They are opened only during the first half of the day and they organize tours every half hour. The last one is at 14,30. I am not posting more photos because the live experience is completely worth it. The ticket is not much, only 6 euros.

I love Tolo beach outside of the season. Its nicer when its not over crowded. Its a sandy, shallow beach which is child friendly for that reason. There are many bars and taverns also a water park at the beach. Tolo beach used to be a blue flag beach, but it has lost its flag in summer of 2025 due to disorganization of the beachside and garbage. The water quality is still good.

Love this area! Clean beach, many shops and restaurants. The growing city is making parking more difficult. Many nice hotels available.

Tolo, unfortunately, has been overexploited through the years. Don't let the seemingly picturesque photos fool you. The beach that used to be the main attraction is literally covered with seats and sunbeds from the local shops. If this was done tastefully, it would be fine. However, the prices are similar to those found in Greek islands and kitsch is the order of the day everywhere. Go to Nafplio instead instead of spending a day here

A beautiful sandy beach with shallow water. There are outdoor showers, deckchairs, changing cabins, free parking, food, drinks, shallow water in the sea for non-swimmers and for children. There is not much space for sports on the beach, but it is worth visiting. Fun little beach.

When there is no wind, the water is amazing, clean, warm, and relaxing. Not deep for many meters far from the beach. Closer to the end of the day you could experience great waves, therefore, kids and adults are full of joy 😁

Karathona beach is a picturesque and appealing coastal destination in Nafplio. It boasts of crystal clear waters and a vast expanse of sandy shores lined with palapas, making it an ideal spot for swimming and sunbathing. The shallow water and sand make it perfect for families with kids, while nearby cafes and small restaurants provide basic amenities. Despite being illegal, many visitors set up camping or park caravans there to spend the night, especially during summer when great events take place.

Great beach, but the Bartender at one of the main coffee and lunch spots is marginally not pleasant. Despite having good products and good waiters, the Barista is as I said , not ideal. Beach is great, sea is Greek and the sun is as always glorious.

Overall a good beach to spend time and enjoy the sea. Sandy beach with clear water, 5 minutes by car from the city. It is big and there are some spots with shade. The only thing that I didn't like is that you can find a lot of cigarette butts in the sand and some trash here or there.

Beautiful beach with the option to shower after a swim. There are some bars and restaurants nearby. Parking is easy, and a few trees provide shade if you don’t have a sun umbrella. The water is clear and the beach is sandy. But be aware—there are still some rocks with sea urchins in the shallow water! It can be quite windy, but the view makes up for it!

Palamidi Fortress

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Castle
Palamidi is a Venetian-built fortress located on a hill, offering stunning sea views and accessed by 857 winding steps. It overlooks the historic port city of Nafplio, which was once the first capital of independent Greece. The fortress is a remarkable example of Venetian fortification architecture and was constructed in just three years during the early 18th century.
Beautiful! We took the Ho-Ho up and the stairs down. The view from above of both the newer part of town and the old part is very good. There’s a small cafe where you can buy fresh juice or bottled drinks/water and snacks near the stairs.
Gita — Google review
Beautiful views from the top, the panoramas are really worth it. Unfortunately, the site itself is poorly maintained, not really visitable inside, and the €20 entrance fee is absolutely too much. I’m giving it 3 stars mainly because of the price – €5–10 would be more appropriate considering the limited access and its recent history.
Pasquale M — Google review
A fantastic place to visit in Nafplio! The view from the top is absolutely stunning, especially when the water around the town turns that beautiful blue-green turquoise shade. There are several viewpoints around the fortress, so take your time to walk around and enjoy the different perspectives. There’s also a small café inside for a quick break. You can either climb up the famous stairs or drive up — both options are worth it. The only downside is that the ticket price feels a bit high, but overall, it’s definitely worth the visit for the view alone!
Sothy U — Google review
Absolutely gorgeous views and a very impressive fortress. The architecture and preservation is amazing. We had so much fun exploring and there seemed to be a new view around every corner. I was surprised they even had a little snack cafe’ in the main area and it appeared they were working on some sort of museum as well. Oh…bring good shoes with traction. You’ll thank me later.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Palamidi Fortress (Nafplio) Palamidi Fortress is absolutely stunning and one of the most impressive historic sites I’ve visited in Greece. The view from the top is breathtaking — you can see the entire town of Nafplio, the sea, and the surrounding mountains. It’s worth every single step of the climb (or drive up if you prefer). The fortress itself is massive, beautifully preserved, and full of history. You can easily spend a couple of hours exploring the different bastions, tunnels, and stone pathways. Every corner has a different perspective and photo opportunity. It’s peaceful, scenic, and gives you a real sense of Greek history and architecture. Whether you hike up the 999 steps or drive to the entrance.

Nice view even from the front of the door :) We could not get inside cause the doors were already closed about 5pm. During summer they are open longer till 9pm as I heard.
Zafer F — Google review
The fortress is an impressive place with amazing views over Nafplio and the sea. The history and atmosphere are truly worth experiencing. However, the entrance fee (20€ per person) feels a bit high, especially since there’s no museum or additional exhibition inside. It takes no time at all to climb the stairs, but walking down the road will take you about an hour.
Maria B — Google review
The Palamidi Fortress, a grand and impressive Venetian fortress, is nestled on the crest of a high hill overlooking Nafplio. A must-see sight, it feels like a never-ending structure that sprawls across most of the hill. It’s a top destination to visit if you’re nearby, as exploring it and learning about its rich history can take two hours or more. You can access it by climbing 913 steps from the town of Nafplio or by car/taxi, which brings you directly to the fortress entrance, where parking is available. We recommend arriving early, as the parking fills up quickly. The fortress also offers free public restrooms, a bar, and a museum shop.

Ancient Theatre at the Asklepieion of Epidaurus

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Ancient Theatre at the Asclepieion of Epidaurus, built in 340 BCE, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics. The site has a rich history dating back to the 2nd millennium BC, with the Sanctuary of Asclepius reaching its peak in the 4th century BC as a prominent healing center. Constructed from limestone, this well-preserved Classical Greek structure can seat up to 14,000 people and hosts performances during the annual Hellenic Festival.
I had been here for a show at night, so wasn't sure what to expect in the daylight. But i was pleasantly surprised. The acoustics are amazing, your voice sounds amplified when you speak in the centre of the stage. It is almost unnerving. I would recommend a visit.
Anastasis K — Google review
Amazing condition with only basic restoration. To be able to climb tge steps & sit on the ancient seats is such a treasure. Would be fantastic to attend a show there. A small museum was also quite interesting. The walk through the remaining archaeological site was sadly cut short due to rainy weather.
Peter E — Google review
This is a place to visit indeed, a massive and well-restored ancient theatre overlooking the mountains. We have seen other theaters before, in Thermessos, Aspendos and Phaselis in Antalya, this one is far bigger though. The place has great acoustics and definitely worth a visit, there’s also a museum with findings and inscriptions from the past and a large archeological site.
Denis A — Google review
Incredible site to see! Highly recommend. If you sing, this is a chance to get heard by strangers for an impromptu performance with amazing acoustics and likely applause from visitors. We got lucky and got to hear a short casual performance.
Angie D — Google review
An absolutely incredible site and a must-see in Greece! The ancient theatre of Epidaurus is astonishingly well preserved and famous for its perfect acoustics — you can literally hear someone speaking or dropping a coin from the stage, even from the top rows. The setting among green hills adds to the magic of the place. The surrounding archaeological site and small museum are also worth a visit. It’s an easy and peaceful walk around. Truly one of the highlights of any trip to the Peloponnese!
Sothy U — Google review
Really impressive space. The amount of constructions around the place, the sheer size of the theater, the unbelievable acoustics, the good state of conservation, the scenery, everything make up for an unforgetable experience. A must.
Pablo M — Google review
It’s impressive to see the theatre, views from the top are wonderful. We did also catch a girl briefly singing & the acoustics are just amazing. The rest of it is just ruins! Very expensive at €20 each - it’s not worth that. No audio guide, not even a restaurant open! No discount for English seniors either, EU only! Another brexit bonus. It was dog friendly - though not allowed in the actual theatre.
Heather S — Google review
The place exceeded my expectations! We didn't manage to see ancient theatres in Athens, but coming here was much better experience. First of all because of much quieter location, much greener, lovely nature and the whole complex around. The theatre structure itself deserves a credit for being preserved so well. Parking at the entrance is huge, no worries about where to leave your car. All info tablets are in two languages, wonderful museum with sculptures. But, obviously, visiting place in mid-October also contributed to my super positive experience. Looking at infrastructure, I can imagine flow of people here in summer.

The Archaeological Museum of the Asclepieion of Epidaurus is a small museum located inside a splendid Venetian building. It showcases the social development of Argolis, from ancient hunter-gatherers to more recent times. The museum houses findings from the surrounding sites, including the spectacular ruins of an enormous theater that is still in use today. This marvel of ancient engineering can hold up to 14,000 people and is renowned for its almost perfect acoustics.
You will be amazed by this Museum! This site is full of ancient greek history and you will have the possibility to visit the stunning Epidaurus Theatre and the ancient stadium of Epidaurus. At the entrance there is a big parking area and some kiosks. So if you love ancient greek History you can’t miss it!
Merlion S — Google review
After seeing the theatre, walking around the surrounding areas and taking in the scenery. Then I think you should go to the museum in order to piece everything together. This museum has all the artifacts found in the surrounding areas. I had a tour guide with me so I was able to appreciate the artifacts, what they meant and the gods that the ancient Greeks worshipped in this area. Without this context I would have been lost. Also €20 euros is a really steep price for in essence a small room and an ancient theatre. It should be €5 in my humble opinion.

Small archaeological museum.. near the theater/ stadium.. I felt a little bit of sorrow.. yes they have some ancient stuff.. but it is small.. not air-conditioning and need restoration.. you see the walls the painting goes out..

The museum is realy small and highly neglected. It's collection has been plundered from the national museum in Athens leaving mostly replicas behind. Its exhibition is very old fashioned and a bit confusing. The museum collection has some great building parts from the roofs of the ancient temples of the area that are really impressive. But although the museum has its problems the archaeological site is one of the top sites in Greece. The ancient theatre is huge and well preserved (athens theater festival is hosted every summer there). And the remains of the buildings and the temples are really interesting and nicely presented. An UNESCO world heritage site Entrance 12€ and 6€ reduced ticket. Under 18 and eu students for free

I think this is the best beach in Poros island. Trees provide shade and environment up to where the water starts. It is organised and you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds. Food and drinks are also available with prices the same like elsewhere. If you wish a good spot it is advisable to go as early as 10 o'clock in the morning.

Extremely disappointing experience. The staff was shockingly rude, the worst treatment we've received in 15 years of visiting beaches in Greece. Poor service, zero hospitality. Definitely not the Greek welcome we’re used to. Would not recommend.
Florin R — Google review
The bay is absolutely gorgeous - crazy clear green waters, lots of fish to observe. This is unfortunately shadowed by poor customer service from there staff and over inflated prices for sunbeds. The staff is eager for money that they invoke some non-existing law that they cannot keep your already paid sunbed for more than 30 minutes. The worst customer experience ever in Greece.
Alexandru S — Google review
Nice water, nice beach, but the services leave a lot to be desired. In the pure Greek commercial spirit, you pay 20 euros for a lounger, but if you leave more than 30 minutes because you don't want to eat extra lunch from them, you've lost your seats. And that wouldn't even be the problem, but the fact that this "rule" is not posted anywhere or communicated in advance...just Greece ;)
Catalin D — Google review
It is a petite cute beach that is excellent for quiet relaxing time. The bay is surrounded by deep vegetation which ensured its privacy. That is how the name came. It is very popular with couples or even people who prefers quiet calm environment. The water is sea green, clear. The sand is a little red to brown but sandy. The bay water is also calm enough, making it a perfect place for holidays and romantic outings. A narrow road surrounds the bay, but there is not much traffic in it. The bay has shower and drinking facilities.

Askeli beach, located 2 km north of Poros Port, is a popular and bustling destination. The organized beach offers amenities such as beach bars and plenty of eucalyptus trees for shade. While the beach has small pebbles, the water becomes sandy once you enter it. Visitors can enjoy clear waters and various water sports while also having access to nearby tavernas. Although not overcrowded, some visitors note a lack of amenities like bars and umbrellas.

Really beautiful beach 😍 the coast is sandy, seawater is clean.

Went there on a mid-sunny May afternoon. Definitely not overcrowded (maybe due to the time period) but a very nice and picturesque beach! Sand was clean enough to lay down with your towel and the sea was also very clear and clean! 4 stars just because it lacks of amenities such as bars, umbrellas etc.

Water is abit cold today as is quite windy in September , we got a spot right on the rocky beach , is not sandy so is quite a feet massage to go thru that for a swim. we got our set of lounge seat from the nearby restaurant , Askeli . 12€ a day for the set of two. Price reasonable I reckon , and you can order drinks and snack to be serve. overall the staff are very friendly. Beach is not full at all, so is kind of peaceful and we enjoyed it very much

Archaeological site

The Archaeological site of Mycenae, located in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece, dates back to the 12th century BC. This UNESCO World Heritage site was once ruled by Agamemnon during the Trojan War and is considered one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. The remains include an acropolis, palace, and tombs that offer a glimpse into the civilization of Mycenae.
Easy slope from car park leads you to the entrance to the site through the lions gates. The walk gets a bit steeper as you ascend to the palace level, but a gentle downhill track loops around. Can be a bit slippery when wet or dusty but well worth the effort. 20 euro for combined museum & site.

Impressive place to visit if you are in historical stuff, or have a vivid imagination, took me about an hour to study it but the sun was unforgivable, take sunscreen and put it on all your body parts :) there is a car parking at the top. The place is quite amazing.
Sarunas K — Google review
Very interesting history and some very impressive sights. Some of the paths are slippery and hard to walk on so be mindful of what shoes you wear. Costs 20 per person so not bad but would be a much better value if you are a history buff. The experience was quite humbling at times thinking about the ancient civilization. Parking was nuts and it wasn’t even that busy of a day. Overall we were happy we went but it isn’t something we’d pay for again.
Jessica&Tom W — Google review
We stopped by on our way to Nafplion and it was totally worth it. The site is surrounded by mountains, and the views are just amazing - both towards the peaks and the sea. We arrived around 10 in the morning and it was already pretty busy, parking wasn’t easy to find. By around 1 p.m. it got really crowded, so it’s better to come earlier if you can. The ticket costs 20€, which feels a bit pricey, but the place is quite big and full of interesting things to see — tombs, caves, and old stone walls. Definitely a must-see if you’re in the area.

A must-see, of course! Even though not much remains from the Bronze Age structures, it’s fascinating to walk through the site and imagine how this mighty citadel once stood proudly atop the hill, surrounded by majestic mountains and a breathtaking landscape. The atmosphere feels ancient and mysterious — you can really sense the weight of history here. Don’t miss the royal tombs, especially the Treasury of Atreus (or Tomb of Agamemnon) located a bit further down the road — it’s truly impressive!

Parking is small, it gets filled up quickly. The museum should be visited first for a better understanding. The Mycenian culture greatly influenced other peoples, it is very significant in history. The city is huge and with lots of monumental architecture. Too little info onsite to be honest.
SVC — Google review
A must visit site for anyone interested in the Mycenaean civilisation. Be warned though, there is very little shade and thus no real respite from the heat on a hot day. Additionally, the 'cafe' at the entrance is run by a scalper - €5 for a litre of water is outrageous.

It is part of an exciting day trip itinerary that includes stops at three stunning locations in the Saronic Gulf.

Water is crystal clean and spectacular View surround the island. Scooter or e-bike recomended from Scala.
Péter K — Google review
Paralia Aponisos is a beautiful and peaceful spot on Agistri Island, offering crystal-clear waters and stunning natural scenery. Unlike the adjacent private islet of Aponisos, which charges an entrance fee (€6) for access to sunbeds, umbrellas, and food facilities, this beach area is completely free. Getting There: Paralia Aponisos is about a 15–20 minute drive from Skala, the island’s main port town. The route follows Agistri’s main road — it’s narrow but in good condition and very easy to navigate. Once you arrive, you can park conveniently right near the beach. The Experience: The beach itself is small, but the surrounding rocks offer plenty of spots to lay down a towel and relax, even though you’ll be lying on rocks rather than sand. The water is incredibly clear, with the feeling of a natural pool — really something out of a movie. The seabed is rocky for the first 20–30 meters, then turns into soft sand with beautifully transparent water, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. When we visited in early May, it was very peaceful and uncrowded, with only a handful of people around. Just be aware that during peak summer months (July and August), it likely gets much busier. Facilities and Surroundings: Behind the beach there’s a small port area and a food establishment (a bar/café), so you have options for refreshments nearby. To the side, you’ll see the private islet of Aponisos, which you can reach via a concrete platform. On the islet, for a fee, you’ll find organized facilities like sunbeds, umbrellas. Just a heads-up: directly behind the small sandy part of the beach, there’s a small port area, along with the road and a parking area for scooters and cars. This does take a little away from the feeling of untouched nature, since you’re not completely secluded. Still, the beach itself is so beautiful and the water so clear that you’ll probably enjoy it there anyway — once you’re swimming or relaxing by the sea, it’s easy to forget about what’s behind you. Final Thoughts: Paralia Aponisos offers a stunning, clear-water swimming spot with easy access and a laid-back vibe. Whether you want to snorkel, swim, or just relax on the rocks, it’s a fantastic place to spend a few hours. Just keep in mind that it’s not a sandy beach, and it may be much busier in the high season. We really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend visiting if you’re in Agistri.
Francesco C — Google review
Best beach of the island in terms of views and facilities. Entry with umbrella and regular sunbed is 6€ per person, and they have plenty (I’d say at least 100). If you want a set with cushion sunbeds (more comfy) it’s 5€ more (2,5€ per person). Considering the beach and the views, it’s excellent value for money. Very important: if you want, you can contact them to reserve sunbeds without additional fees, to make sure they are available when you arrive. This might be very useful especially during the weekends, where there are many more people and it might be hard to find available sunbeds. There is a beach bar with some food and drink options, and you can order directly from your sunbed through a button which calls a server without additional charge, very nice. The water is fantastic, there is both a shallow and a deep area, and you can also rent a kayak to explore the bay. Overall, I highly recommend, one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to, particularly nice after 5pm when most people have gone away and it’s quieter. Side note about the bus: as per July 2025, there are 2 (occasionally 3) buses that go from Skala to Aponissos, stopping by Megalochori, Dragoneira and Limenaria. The timetables are displayed on site, but it’s usually once an hour. While during the week you can manage to catch the bus in the morning (either the tourist bus for 5€ or the regular bus for 2€), during the weekend it’s almost impossible to catch one before 13:00, and there are very few taxis on the island, so I recommend be prepared for that maybe by reserving in advance or by renting a scooter. Conversely, catching the bus to go back in the afternoon, especially after 18, is much easier.

- It’s a private beach with 6Euro entrance fee. The fee includes sunbed with shade (no mattress- with mattress you pay 5Euro/2 person more and if with bed and cover- 10Euro). - However the access to the water is free as it can be access before the entrance. Out of that area there are 2 restaurants and many shade below trees. - Good service and perfect organization. Stay and press the button, they will come to get your order. Price is reasonable. - They also provide some stuff on the water for you to have fun. - The beach is sandy (still rocks here and there but still). About 6km from Skala.

Municipal Museum of Kalavritan Holocaust

History Museums
The Municipal Museum of Kalavritan Holocaust is a powerful tribute to the residents who perished in the 1943 massacre by the Nazis. The museum provides an evocative account of the struggle between occupying forces and partisan fighters, leading up to the atrocity. It offers a full chronicle of the slaughter and includes emotional testimonies from survivors through video monitors. A visit to this museum in Kalavryta is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of this tragic historical event.
This place is real history. The museum is located in the school where the Kalavrita drama took place. There are five rooms with the history of the town before the war until the massacre. There is plenty of audiovisual material, with the interviews of the few survivors being the most heartbreaking. There is a museum shop with books and souvenirs, too. The website of the museum is also very informative containing plenty of digitalised authentic evidence. Don’t forget to visit the hill where the men were executed in 1943, 10-min walk from the school. All in all, a modern exhibition to keep the memory alive.

Sadly enough nearly all of the videos were only in Greek, no subtitles. Off course the text boards were in both Greek and English, but perhaps English subtitles would be a good idea, giving more feel of what happened here.

One of the best museums in Greece. It has a good mix of historical evidences, testimonies of the survivors, digital archives, collection of personal items of the martyrs, letters etc. The set up of the exhibition and the presentation was exceptional. The museum is within the school which was an important part of Kalavryta’s history. It is definitely worth a visit.

It is a small museum of 4 rooms, but I think it is essential to understand well the history of kalavrita, there are some videos with some witnesses of the German olocaust. It doesn't have cruel images, but I won't suggest it for children. I suggest to visit it immediately when you get off the train.

Excellent museum that tells the terrible story of the 13 December 1943 atrocities against the people of Kalavrita. The building was the town’s school, where the population was gathered, and then separated forever. The displays and videos are extremely moving.

Amazing museum that gives you a full sight of the chronicle of the slaughter of people that stayed in Kalavryta by the nazis during the second world was! Really emotional was the fact that there are several monitors with videos with testimonies from survivors! It was very touching! Definetely recommended if you find yourself in Kalavryta!

Ancient Corinth

Mentioned on 
+17 other lists 
Historical landmark
Museums
History Museums
Ancient Corinth is a well-preserved archaeological site that offers a glimpse into the Roman city's history. The remains include temples, fountains, theaters, and ornate columns that stand as a testament to ancient Greek architectural skill. The Temple of Apollo is particularly picturesque with its fluted columns surrounded by wildflowers and mountain peaks in the background. Nearby attractions such as the Medieval Castle of Acrocorinth and Ancient Nemea offer additional historical exploration.
Corinth was a superpower not only of the ancient Greek world, but the ancient world altogether. Its origins are lost deep within the Neolithic age, alas little remains of this era as well as the ones following it (i.e. Mycenean) as it was constantly inhabited and these were covered by multiple layers of overstructures. The wealthiest city in the Greek world produced the Corinthian helmet, the iconic, practical and economically produced helmet that protected most Greek hoplites for centuries. It also designed and produced the trireme, the legendary warship that dominated the seas and won battles such as Salamis and Mykali. Its colonies were multiple, and some became renowned cities in their own right, such as Syracuse and Epidamnos (which today we know as Dyrrhahium or Durres, as renamed). Its greatest period was during the Archaic age, under the guidance of Periandros. The core of all that can be seen here was built in those times. The ascension of Athens as the premier sea power and the loss of Corinthian seafaring profits triggered the Peloponnesian war. The Corinthians were cunning enough to manipulate Sparta into fighting for their interests, masterfully leveraging Spartan pride. The bill came very much later, in 146 BC, when it was mercilessly sacked by the Romans, who a full century later financed its reconstruction. The city enjoyed a second extensive period of prosperity that was disrupted by barbarian raids in the late 3rd and late 4th century AD. Walk around and get a taste of these. It's easy to visit. Refreshments and food can be found right outside the gates.

The museum and the archaeological site of Corinth are definitely worth visiting! I recommend bringing water, a hat, and comfortable shoes, especially on hot days. The only downside is that it’s a bit tricky to get there: you either need a car or have to take a taxi (from Corinth town we paid €12 to reach Ancient Corinth and the archaeological site). That said, it’s absolutely worth it. On our way back to Athens, our taxi driver stopped at the Isthmus of Corinth(20€): we got to see the canal, take some photos, and there’s also a ticket office and a bus stop for the return to Athens.

Easy to get to off the main highway. Normally open 8am to 8 pm. Closes at 6:30 in October. Costs to enter. They do not give you a map so you will need to read the signs to understand what you are viewing. The museum was nice and flowed well. It is easy for adults and small children to navigate.

We have been looking forward to seeing this archaeological site for years. The ruins of Corinth we see today are from the Roman era. This site was founded by Julius Caesar himself. The Greek city was destroyed by the Roman general Lucius Mummius in 146 BC. For us, the best aspect of seeing these ruins is to follow in the footsteps of the apostle Paul. He ministered to Corinth for 18 months.

So incredible to walk through what was once a thriving and bustling structure in ancient Greece. We especially were in awe of the Bema where the Apostle Paul would speak...so cool and rich in biblical history. A must see in Greece!

I went with a group and we had a guide. I would say having a guide of some sort is key to understanding more of its history. The ruins are beautiful and there is a small museum that also has restrooms. There is a decent amount to explore in Corinth. There is also a small town center with snacks, food, and souvenirs.

100% worth the drive especially if you combine it with a trip up to Acrocorinth. So much history happened here both from a Greek mythology perspective and a Christian/biblical perspective. Bring you walking shoes!

Holy Monastery Mega Spileon

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Nestled in a steep cliff, Mega Spileon Monastery has a rich history dating back to the 4th century. The Great Vineyard, dating back to the 15th century and now part of Mega Spileo Estate, produces exceptional wines. Despite being rebuilt after destruction, the monastery exudes an old-world charm with parts still bearing marks of fire damage. This large Orthodox monastery is not only historically significant but also offers a picturesque surrounding and hiking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.
A place of serenity but also of deep history. It is the first ever monastery (orthodox) in Greece and the second one in the world. It has been renovated and it feels brand new now. It is built in a natural cave and the rocks there as well as the view left me in wonder and awe. The energy also has something of a revolutionary vibe there given that it is also near the Church that the Greek revolution against the Ottoman empire began in 1821. Only 5 monks there live permanently at the time of my visit and they are a unique bunch as all monks are. Well worth a visit if you are in the area in my opinion. Unique art inside both new and ancient!
Angel L — Google review
This great monastery began as a reclusive abandon for monks seeking solitude and serenity for their prayers. They found this within the impressive cave. Gradually, more arrived, and they started building, and it gradually evolved into the massive complex we see today. At some part, as is most common with monasteries of the late medieval times, the accumulation of wealth (offerings of the pious) and provisions (the produce of the lands of the monastery, cultivated by monks residing within) attracted invaders. Thus, they evolved not only as communities but also as defensive structures. The tower just to the left of the main entrance to the yard tells part of this story. Its height, with arrow slits at all levels, bespeaks of its function with profane eloquence. The overall site is an outstanding natural landscape with wonderful architecture and a magnificent view. It is also easy to visit and requires little time. Therefore, believer or not, it's well worth a stop.
George S — Google review
One of the oldest, if not the oldest, monastery in Greece.. it is built on a cliff of a mountain.. for sure what we see now isn't how it was.. they renovated the monastery in 2013 last time. As you can imagine the monastery has a lot of history so you can read a book about it. Road is good to go up there. It is free for Greek orthodox , I don't know if you need a ticket for the foreign tourists... But It is logical, we pay for tickets when we visit abroad places. So tourists must not complain.

We stopped by this monastery on the way, just 30 minutes before closing. Inside the monastery, there is a small cave, but nothing too special. However, if you go up the path to the right of the monastery and go through a small gate, you’ll find a trail with amazing views of the valley. We walked quite far along it, and the views were really beautiful. Highly recommended!
Sergey ( — Google review
Monastery Mega Spileon is a decent quick stop if you're in the area. About half an hour from the highway, you're looking at roughly a 20-minute visit to see everything. The monastery itself is kind of nice but not too exciting. There's a small museum with some religious artifacts, though nothing particularly memorable. What makes the trip worthwhile are the views - they're genuinely great and amazing. The monastery's location offers beautiful panoramic vistas that are definitely worth photographing. Overall, it's a reasonable quick stop for the scenic views, but don't expect it to be a highlight. Worth a brief visit if you have extra time, but not a destination in itself.

We checked this place online and it said it’s free entrance so we jumped in a car and drove an hour to see a monastery. We were so excited, enjoyed breathtaking views all along our way. When we got inside and were enjoying nice art inside a museum we were greeted by a monk who told us that it cost 3 euros each to be there. We did not have any cash and he told us that in mountains nobody takes credit cards which is not true because everyone else had no problem with it. He basically asked to leave… so disappointing … and misleading…

The Temple of Aphaia is a significant archaeological site located on the island of Aegina. Built in the 5th century BC, this Doric temple was dedicated to the ancient goddess Aphaia. Positioned on top of a hill, it offers a spectacular view of the surrounding area and is considered one of the most important structures in the Sanctuary of Aphaia.
Beautifully preserved temple in a spectacular setting! It was not crowded at all and we highly recommend visiting. We took the local bus at 2 euro each.

Beautifully maintained Temple of the Goddess Aphaia, a mysterious figure local to Aegina and sometimes Crete. Pausanias (2nd c. CE) records that the Aeginetans called Britomartis “Aphaia.

A must-see if you’re visiting Aegina! The Temple of Aphaia is beautifully preserved and stands on a hill with an absolutely stunning view over the sea and even the mainland on a clear day. It’s quiet, peaceful, and feels very authentic compared to the crowded sites in Athens. Totally worth the 20-minute ride from the main port — it gives a real sense of ancient Greece. And after your visit, don’t miss grabbing a pistachio ice cream from the little shop right next to the site — Aegina’s specialty and the perfect way to end the visit!

It was okay. Maybe a lot better if we didn't walk a mile straight up to get there. Ruins with a small tourist store. Interesting information tables throughout. Lots of cats roaming around begging for food. Cost $10 euros to explore site. Very nice view from the top. Several tour busses were visiting at the same time as we were there.

It wasn’t that easy to get here - the ferry and then the taxi. But it’s worth it because of its more than 2.5K history and no need to jostle with other tourists. We got all the photos we wanted. The cats were very friendly once they knew we had cat food

The Temple of Poseidon in Sounion offers a truly special experience, especially during sunset. The sight of the sun dipping below the Aegean horizon and painting the sky with vibrant colors is simply captivating. Even without the sunset, the endless sea views are equally amazing. Located 45km from Athens, it's considered one of Greece's best spots. Visitors can book a guided tour from Athens or rent a car to get there and witness this beautiful temple against the backdrop of an incredible sunset.
Took a while to get there from Athens but it is worthy. It was very cloudy that day so the sunset was not really visible. But it os amazing how the ancient Greeks decide to honor Poseidon in such a magnificent place. The nice thing was there was a holiday in Greece and the entrance was free!
Guillermo Q — Google review
The trip was about an hour and a half from where i'm staying.But after you get out of the hustle and bustle, the trip was awesome. A lot of places you could pull over and take pictures or just pull over and go down to the shore. The temple itself was twenty euros, which seemed kind of high.But I did have a good time and got plenty of pictures.
Janice K — Google review
The temple is beautiful, but the tickets are a little expensive for how much time you can actually spend here. This is definitely one of the best places you can watch the sunset from, though. We went on a semi-cloudy day, and even then the sunset was stunning. There is also a cafe that is nice to take some time to relax at, since if you're staying in Athens it is a bit of a drive.
Madison H — Google review
A beautiful place in itself, but the unjustifiably high price of €20 made us turn back and take a free walk in another part of the peninsula, where the views were just as breathtaking. Is the price of watching the sunset — even next to such a stunning temple — really comparable to the entrance fee for Mycenae, Corinth, or Epidaurus, where, in addition to the ruins, you also visit a museum and get a wealth of information? A highly promoted tourist spot — deservedly so for its amazing views, but not for its price.

Visiting the Temple of Poseidon was an unforgettable experience. The temple itself is truly majestic, standing tall for more than 2,000 to 3,000 years and offering a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Greek history. The surrounding sea views are breathtaking, and when combined with the temple’s presence, it feels almost magical. The highlight of the visit was without doubt the sunset. It is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, with the colors reflecting over the Aegean Sea and the temple glowing in the evening light. The road leading to the temple was also a wonderful part of the journey, with scenic views all along the way. A must-visit when in Greece! 🌅🏛️

The temple on the edge of the sea is a magnificent view. It's definitely worth it to visit. It's not so hard to get to there from Athens with the public transport. You can take the bus to Sunion which cost only 6.20 euros in direction. We took it from the Singrou-fix at around 11 o'clock. The trip to there takes around two hours and the road is very beautiful by the sea. The entrance ticket is 20 euros. There is coffee/restaurant there. The bus will drop you off right to the entrance of the temple.

Corinth Canal

Canal
Nature & Parks
The Corinth Canal, a stunning feat of engineering completed in 1893, separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. The canal offers breathtaking views of its sheer rock walls and blue waters, best enjoyed from a sturdy footbridge or on a tour boat. For the adventurous, bungee jumping provides an entirely different perspective. Nearby attractions include the Gulf of Corinth and traditional Greek villages offering local food and wine experiences.
Had an amazing boat ride through the Corinth canal both ways. Only €22 each on Anna 11 cruises. Lasted about an hour or so and went from the quay on the Athens side of the canal. It's incredible how it was dug and dynamited out of the rocks. Very steep sides in places with road and rail bridges spanning it. Well worth doing.
Michael K — Google review
The Corinth Canal is a truly spectacular sight, and it's much more than just a waterway. Standing on the bridge, you get a powerful sense of the history and the immense engineering effort it took to carve this narrow, deep channel through solid rock. The sheer cliffs on either side are breathtaking, and watching a ship navigate this incredibly tight passage is a unique and thrilling experience. It's a must-do for anyone traveling through Greece, offering both a stunning natural view and a fascinating glimpse into human ingenuity.
PyM — Google review
Nice place to stop by! Such a deep and narrow cuts which separates the Peloponnese peninsula from the Greek mainland. With a nice history behind ofcourse. Only the view from the bridge is stunning. I wanted to try bungee jumping here but it was closed 😩 Still, totally worth the visit!
D N — Google review
We visited the Corinth Canal and were absolutely amazed by its breathtaking views — it’s a must-see both for its visual impact and historical significance. Standing on the bridge and looking down into the narrow, deep waterway is truly unforgettable. There are several nearby restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy a meal or a drink at relatively reasonable prices. It’s a great spot to take a break, enjoy the scenery, and soak in the atmosphere. For thrill-seekers, there’s also the opportunity to go bungee jumping right over the canal. At around €100 per person, it’s definitely on the pricier side, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that adds a real adrenaline rush to your visit. Parking was easy and the area felt tourist-friendly. I’d highly recommend stopping here if you’re passing through the region — even a short visit is worth it!
Márk B — Google review
The Corinth Canal is a fascinating sight. Typically, tour buses heading to the Peloponnese start there for a rest break and spend a few minutes seeing the canal. The ancient Greeks and Romans dreamed of building a canal here, but lack the technical ability. It was completed in the late 1800s using steam equipment. If you are able, suggest driving to the Diolkos. This was the ancient road that ran across the isthmus, mainly to transfer goods and on rare occasions ships.

Had a wonderful time at the lake today, we got there for about 11-11.30 (via metro and bus, took an hour) and queued for 10 minutes. Didn’t ask for student identification and we easily managed to get two sunbeds as there was still many available. It was lovely vibe. Foods quite pricey for small portions and not a lot of vegetarian options, just tomato basil pasta or margherita pizza as the two hot mains. We spent a few hours here, loved the fish. Water was SO salty! Not seen anyone else post about how salty it was, suprised me a lot! The lake was pretty cold despite it saying 25 degrees but fair enough. Changing facilities were good. Only two cubicles for female toilets though which surprised me. I enjoyed the experience as a whole!

This is a spectacular lake and chill beach club. It is such great spot to spend the day but the bad service of the staff there really let it down. I visited in June 2024 and had a wonderful experience in a cabana with my family. I even wrote an 3-page feature article about the Athens Riviera mentioning it and Abraovato for Robb Report ANZ where I was the assistant editor at the time. This year my visit today was still beautiful but the service was underwhelming. There was a mix up with my booking on the door which resulted in the blonde female manager in charge being very rude to on the door acting aggressively from the start. Then after settling down to read in our pre-booked lounge chairs for 50 euro (not what we thought wee were getting really) we ordered mineral water and coffee and decided to make the most of where we were seated. But after our first swim we were then surrounded by two male lifeguards, a swarthy and loud old male pool cleaner, and another two older male service people who gossiped very loudly right behind us for over 25 -30 minutes which made me very uncomfortable and made it hard to concentrate on drawing and reading (let alone sleeping which would have been nice). I didn't come to the beach club to sit around with a bunch of strange men who were supposed to be working and weren't. Every time i turned around they were staring at me. The place was pretty empty so we asked to please be moved to a quieter spot and we did move to some chairs right around the back of the lake where we continued reading and sketching the lake. We ordered a salad and a cocktail and moved all our own stuff to some new sun beds that were just in the sun. Again empty beds around us for as far as the eye could see Then we were getting prepared to relax when the blonde female manager came back over and told us we had to pay another 60 euro to stay on the sunbeds. So instead of staying until 6.00pm and eating and drinking as we had intended and having a snooze there went to the One &Only for lunch in Glyfada where the service, pool and bar is impeccable. This beach club could have made our stay so pleasant and enjoyable and the unprofessional staff really let it down. Had they offered us an upgrade to start with and some good service we could have had a great time. I have told so many people about this place and now I will not continue to because there is a nasty attitude in the staff that is truly inexplicable.

Flisvos Marina is a prominent marina located in the Athenian Riviera, known for being one of the largest in Greece with a capacity to accommodate over 300 vessels, including luxury yachts and boats. The surrounding area offers an array of restaurants, cafes, and bars that provide stunning views of the Saronic Gulf. Visitors can marvel at luxurious yachts while enjoying exotic cocktails on the waterfront.
Flisvos Marina is a must-visit when in Athens! We had an amazing experience here, starting with a fantastic lunch at Cruiser Restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious, with a great selection of Mediterranean flavors, but what truly made it special was the breathtaking view. From our table, we had a perfect vantage point of the marina, where some of the most luxurious yachts and vessels were docked. The sight of these stunning megayachts lined up against the shimmering blue waters created a truly exclusive and elegant atmosphere. After lunch, we strolled around the marina, soaking in the beauty of the area. The entire space is immaculately maintained, with charming walkways, lush green areas, and a peaceful, high-end vibe. Watching the luxury yachts up close, some of which looked like floating palaces, was a unique experience on its own. Whether you’re visiting Athens for a short trip or a longer stay, Flisvos Marina offers a touch of luxury and tranquility that shouldn’t be missed. It’s the perfect place for a scenic meal, a relaxing walk, or simply to admire some of the most impressive vessels in Greece. Highly recommended!

An excellent marina with a large number of berths for all types of vessels. The marina also has a number of bars and restaurants with excellent service and very good food where everyone can find something for themselves and there is also a gift shop if you want to buy a little something or a souvenir.

Great service. Boat is really fast and comfortable. But we had a delay on a trip from Hydra - 20 minutes.

Ferry to Hydra, a Greek Island. Business Class. Very comfortable. Cabin was cold. Bring a jacket

Fast and comfortable trip that was on time both ways. I removed 2 stars only because I went to the ticket desk in Aegistra and the friendly agent said it was no problem to board an earlier ferry. I repeated myself just to make sure she understood that my ticket time was different and she patiently responded that the QR code would work. The QR code did not work, however, when I boarded and so I was unsure if I would have to buy a new ticket. The agent on the boat said she would take care of it and disappeared never to return. Please just make sure your agents and your ticket scanners are on the same page

Fast ticket sales. Very accommodating. Was able to change my ticket times so we can go back to Athens earlier than planned.

Last boat of the day had a problem so they cancelled with no communication or care for how people get back from Aegina, they said email for refunds, and refused to issue them there. absolutely no duty of care for customers

Riding the ferry to Aegina from Athens was beautiful. The ferry ride was amazing and comfortable. The ride was 40 minutes and $40 round-trip. It was a slow day, it was easy to get tickets. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful ferry.

Attica Zoological Park

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Attica Zoological Park, located near Athens, is more than just a typical zoo. The park focuses on conservation and offers visitors the chance to see a wide variety of animals in environments that mimic their natural habitats. Highlights include dolphin shows, lemurs' enclosure, and interactive experiences like feeding giraffes with prepared salad. The large zoo also features picnic areas, a playground for kids, and a cafe with views of the giraffes' enclosure.
We visited the Attica Zoo on our last day in Athens and had a great time. The zoo is clean, well-organized, and home to a wide variety of animals — a real treat for any animal lover. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed visit. We went in the late afternoon and unfortunately missed the dolphin attraction, which opens on specific times and closes earlier (4:30 PM). There was a small sign at the entrance, but it would have been helpful if the staff had mentioned it. One small downside: with the heat, it would’ve been nice to have more places to grab a drink inside, aside from the main shop at the entrance. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely worth a visit!

I love this Zoo. We come with my son who is now 2 for over the year every weekend. We come less in summer, as it is hot. Its amazing zoological park with big variety of animals. Animals overall seems to get a great care. One thing tho, I really dont like how they "care" for rabbits! Im an owner of the rabbit fo over 12 years and the care they get at zoo is absolutely inadequate. They should do afoption program for them there. But real and seriouse one, maybe to partner with shelter, etc... And I do belive the seals need a much bigger pool. Also I wish the owner could participate with nice coffee shops and spread them around the territory. So people can have wariety of options. Also I do belive place can benefit from more programs like : buy a steak for Lion, or buy some food for animal of choice and you can see him fed by our stuff at certain hours. Thats will bring more money and more returned visitors and more visitors in general. We have annual path. Its amazing park otherwise to come to.

Very nice organized zoo close to Athens, very close to the airport. It has a large variety of exhibits. The dolphins pool is unique, I have never seen that kind of activity in a zoo. The Asian elephants are great. The butterflies area is also very nice. Has a lot of spots to seat, with plenty of shadow. The crew was very helpful, the place well maintained, and not crowded.
Victor A — Google review
We really enjoyed our visit, so much we stayed 6 hours! If you have young kids, renting a trolley is worth it as there is obviously a lot of walking. Regardless of what you think of zoos, the zoo is clean, animals seem healthy and happy and it’s a great educational environment for children to learn to respect the planet and the animal kingdom. A fantastic day out!

It was a wonderful experience, especially the Lemurian therapy :)) ! There is great variety of animals and they are very well taken care of. The trail is beautiful with trees and greenery. We spent aroud 3h but you need around 4h-4:30h to see everything.

Amazing experience for my little boy 💙 I know he won't remember today's activities but he enjoyed it the most, so we decided it's good for his brain development to repeat this activity every year until he is old enough to create meaningful memories with his family 😁 until next time then!!!

I can't say enough good things about this zoo. It's clear from the moment you walk in that the staff genuinely cares about the animals and their well-being. Every animal looked incredibly well-maintained, healthy, and clean. The enclosures are spacious and meticulously looked after, providing a great environment for the animals. Beyond the animals, the entire zoo was spotlessly clean and well-arranged. The pathways were clear, the landscaping was beautiful, and it was easy to navigate from one exhibit to another. It made for a very pleasant and enjoyable day.
Robert A — Google review
The Athens Zoo is a true oasis of joy for animal lovers. The fact that you don’t have to wait in long lines and can even enter certain areas to feed the animals makes the experience truly wonderful. It’s a beautiful, relaxing place filled with special moments.

Holy Monastery of Hosios Loukas

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
The Hosios Loukas Holy Monastery is a magnificent Byzantine-style religious complex established in the 11th century. It is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and situated between the towns of Distomo and Kyriaki, about 23km southeast of Arahova. The monastery comprises two churches, including the principal church that houses some of Greece's most exceptional frescoes from the Byzantine era. Visitors are expected to dress modestly (no shorts).
We stopped here on the way to Delphi from Athens. This was the most impressive monastery we visited in Greece. The number of the mosaics and beauty was staggering! There is also an adjacent small church on the site by the parking lot and the views of the area are amazing.
Ryan S — Google review
A monastery off the beaten path which we really liked! We took a detour to the monastery on our way back from Arachova to Athens. It is big and beautiful and has a beautiful painted crypt and inside of the church. Well looked after and lost of interesting history. The stables and one or two other buildings did burn down 2-3 years ago and they are restoring it. It does not distract from the great experience and I can highly recommend the place. Lots of parking and we could pay by card.
Jaco R — Google review
A must see. Worth a detour, worth a visit. Meteora is also a must see at a stunning location. This is a stunning monastery at a beautiful place.
TheLaurierstreet — Google review
Stunning view of the mountains, the building itself is beautifully taken care of, it is active so people do go to participate in service but there is plenty of small areas to explore with bits of history information and a small museum room where u need to buy entry tickets. There is a large parking lot higher up from monastery but with the hills and stairs it could be difficult for someone with mobility issues. There are clean toilets for use before you get the entry gate as well

I drive in from Domvrina. The drive was amazing, Ag Anna was beautiful, all the villages on the way were beautiful and the Monestery is in a unbelievable place. Stunning views. The people there are so nice. I recommend anyone visiting Greece visit here.

Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Lots of history and things to see. I think it was 10€ to enter.

Gorgeous monastery that everyone should visit. I can't believe how obscure this place is when it's monumental and religious value matches that of Parthenon in its respective hostorical era. The view is wonderful and everyone is so friendly and willing to share facts about Saint Loukas and the monastery itself.

Old Evripos Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Old Evripos Bridge, also known as Chalkida Old Bridge, is a stunning arched structure that has been connecting the island of Evia to mainland Greece since its construction in 1962. This iconic bridge spans the Euripus Strait and serves as a vibrant hub for both pedestrians and vehicles. A stroll along this picturesque bridge offers breathtaking views of the surrounding waters and is an ideal way to soak in the local atmosphere.
Nice area with top views from the bridge which it's self is worth a visit seeing the water (tides) changing direction, car drivers seem more polite towards pedestrians than in Athens, food wise I found shop's have Athens prices ,
James S — Google review
Small bridge over Europe’s Strait water. Bridge opens up for sailing boats which is popular among locals and tourists. Euripus Strait is a narrow channel of water separating the Greek island of Euboea in the Aegean Sea from Boeotia in mainland Greece. Many popular restaurants are along the water, close to the bridge.
Manoj — Google review
The Chalkida Old Bridge is an absolute gem that is definitely worth a visit! The sunset views with all the lights illuminating the bridge create a magical ambiance. Taking a leisurely walk along the pathwalk surrounded by restaurants and bars adds to the charm of the experience. It was the perfect spot for us to stay and avoid going to Athens for an early flight. If you're looking for a picturesque and convenient location, the Chalkida Old Bridge is a must-visit destination. Don't miss the opportunity to soak in the breathtaking scenery and enjoy a memorable time by the bridge!
Igor K — Google review
The Old Bridge of Chalkida is one of the most iconic landmarks of the city. Built in 1896, it connects the center of Chalkida with northern Evia, crossing over the Euripus Strait. The bridge is famous for its unique mechanism that raises and lowers to allow ships to pass through. It is a historic monument and a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the sea and the city. It is one of the key stops for anyone visiting Chalkida, and the traditional atmosphere around the bridge always leaves an impression.
Loukas M — Google review
The famous bridge of Chalkida and Evia, one of only 2 bridges that connect tge island with the mainland of Greece. This bridge have a long history because of the water under it witg every few hours the flow change sides. Every day (each time in different hour) the bridge is opening and boats are passing

Lovely place for a short trip from Athens. Best fish taverns and best place for walk close to seaside. Calm city. This aerial photo can show you the beauty of this place. This bridge also used long years before for extreme sports.
Adventure S — Google review
Ancient technology but still strong when walking on it and cars passing by, you can feel the noice. And a ship crossing we well all stoped both cars and humans. And you can hear the noice as they left the bridgle, amaizing. And I love the surroundings restaurants bars et cetera.
Brace K — Google review
I'm glad to have seen this old bridge. I walked over this and admired the Island of Evia from the Mainland side. Looking into the sea, the currents are so strong.
