Ataturk Museum of Thessaloniki

History museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Ataturk Museum of Thessaloniki is a significant historical site as it was the birthplace and childhood home of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. The museum is housed in the very building where Ataturk was born in 1881 and offers tours to honor his life and legacy. Despite being under Greek control at one point, the house was preserved and transformed into a monument by the government to commemorate Ataturk's contributions.
Finally, we are in the place where you were born, Atam ...Seeing the house where you spent your childhood was an emotional experience for us. Your house was incredibly beautiful, but I wish they had left the furnishings as they were. Aside from this, we can never be grateful enough for the foresight you provided and for saving our country. We had always seen your picture in high school textbooks, but being inside the house was very special

Although currently under restoration, The place is almost holly for most of the Turks. We feel lucky to have a such a great leader who still enlights us with his wisdom and ethics after nearly a century after his lifetime. A true world leader and inspiring visioner. RIP.🇹🇷. And heartful thanks to our Greek friends protecting his birth place in beautiful Thessaloniki ❤️🇬🇷.

The Atatürk House Museum in Thessaloniki, the birthplace of our Republic’s founder, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, is a sacred place that deeply reflects his determination and vision. Adorned with traces of the Ottoman era, the museum beautifully showcases the past and the legacy Atatürk left for future generations. Visiting this site allows you to truly feel both Atatürk’s extraordinary leadership and the profound love for the homeland.
Osman A — Google review
A deeply meaningful and emotional place to visit. This is the birthplace of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk — the founder of modern Türkiye. Unfortunately, the museum was under renovation during our visit, so we could only see it from the outside. Still, standing in front of this historic house felt powerful and moving. You can truly feel the spirit of a leader who changed the destiny of a nation. A must-see landmark for anyone who respects history, freedom, and progress. 🇹🇷

Museum of Byzantine Civilization

Museum
History Museums
The Museum of Byzantine Civilization in Thessaloniki, Greece is a top destination for those interested in the history and culture of the Byzantine period. The museum's extensive collection covers artifacts and exhibits from the early Christian period to the Ottoman Empire, with a specific focus on the 4th to 15th centuries. Visitors can explore various exhibition halls that are divided into different periods, offering insights into art, religion, and daily life during this influential era.
Wonderful museum! I was lucky and didn’t experience any of the 10 permanent exhibition being temporary closed for a lack of staff. Very organized how you flow from one room to the next, free audio guide which can be downloaded over WiFi and nice staff. Everything you’d expect from a well-kept museum. I came closer to closing, 1 hr is not enough, I think I skipped a room and skimmed over a couple others due to time. The artwork and artifacts are beautiful and for only 8 euros, I think it’s a great deal.
Hak B — Google review
The museum from its exterior looks great. They have captured the Byzantine style of architecture. You see that a lot of work has gone into making this museum. There were a lot of amazing artifact, mosaics, frescos etc….to see. Although I thinkk this museum was lacking on staff. We were even told that because they are understaffed only 4 out of the 12 exhibits were open to the public. The guides in those open rooms were more like guards and were always on their phone. Everything is supposedly digitalized. What’s the point of guides then? Just employ guards. Anyway at least what was open was amazing to see what remains from the Eastern Roman period, but more then half the museum was closed of so it didn’t justify the 8 euros price tag. Visit if it’s fully open.
Filip T — Google review
Small but beautiful museum with a fabulous collection of Byzantine art. The staff are very friendly, and the exhibits are well presented. Be careful around some of the displays though, there are small steps in front and when my daughter accidentally touched it, the alarm went off! The cafeteria and gift shop are currently under renovation, which was a bit disappointing, but overall it was still an awesome experience.
Yao C — Google review
The museum is stunning, both from the outside and the inside. Definitely worth a visit. They have a large collection of Byzantine artifacts. Although I'm not usually a big fan of history, I found this museum genuinely interesting and you can feel how important it is for the Greek people. The ticket costs 8€, while the kids under 18 enter for free. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, it wasn't overcrowded when we visited, so you can take your time and explore at your own pace. About an hour and a half is enough for the full visit.
Nataša K — Google review
An excellent collection excellently presented within an excellent facility. Middle Ages were not dark in the Eastern Roman Empire, which we call today Byzantium. Paintings, mosaics, decorated pottery, jewelry, and so much more display the light of a civilization whose refugees sparked the Renaissance. Truly, a wonderful experience for those who appreciate history and art. In a country so rich in archeological findings of ages ranging into the greatest depths of antiquity, such exhibits are often unduly overlooked.
George S — Google review
Absolutely worth a visit. I think the ticket was €8, which you certainly can't complain about. It was very quiet when we visited, which probably lent the whole place some serenity. If you are in Thessaloniki and you have an hour or so to spare, I think it would be well spent here.
Per J — Google review
The space is good developed: the halls, the lights, the pieces of mosaic, tombstones, vases, examples of the unique history of Byzantine. If you have a time, it's better to take a guide tour, and not to be lost in the treasure of this museum.

Lovely collection. Really recommend visiting during the daytime when you can see the beauty of mosaics in the sunlight. Very friendly staff and comfortable layout of the exhibitions.

Review for couple’s massage Overall it was good experience and the massage was excellent, but there are a few things I would like to point out. They put us on a round bathtub with warm water and rose petals (not a jacuzzi) and it was nice for a while but after 20-25’ it was getting uncomfortable for our necks and legs since it is not very big. How long can you stay soaking in water? They told us to get dried and we used the wrong towels by mistake and one of the ladies was a little upset about it. Then each of us got on the massage table completely naked, with the towel on top. (Everybody is different but for me that was a first time and a little uncomfortable) And at the end, they brought us wine with a chocolate (very nice) but we were sitting on the same room on a puff on the floor (again not very comfortable), still naked with our towels. Maybe having the wine in the lounge chairs outside the room would be a much better experience. Still it is a place I would recommend.

What a wonderful experience 🤩 Our bachelorette retreat at Polis Hamam was absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were transported to a world of pure relaxation and luxury. The spa ambiance was soothing, and the staff greeted us with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The hamam experience itself was unlike anything we had ever tried before. The traditional bath was rejuvenating, and the exfoliating scrub left our skin feeling silky smooth. The massages that followed were heavenly, melting away all our stress and tension. We left feeling refreshed, pampered, and ready to take on the world. Polis Hamam is a must-visit!

Petralona Cave

Mentioned on 
+15 other lists 
Historical landmark
Nature & Parks
Petralona Cave, situated 50 km from Thessaloniki, is a fascinating prehistoric site discovered in 1959. It gained fame in 1960 when the oldest European man's fossilized skull was found there, along with evidence of ancient fire use. The cave features remarkable stalactites and stalagmites that captivate both adults and children. With a length of about 2 km, it offers an exciting excursion suitable for young visitors as well.
Considering that one of the main attractions in the Nea Kallikrateia area is the Petralona cave, we decided to go and visit it. It is located 15 km away from Nea Kallikrateia, about 15-20 minutes by car. Direct access by car is restricted for the last 800-900 meters by a barrier, being directed to a parking lot from where you can take a mini train for 3 euros per person round trip. In the parking lot there are a few souvenir shops, magnets, etc. you know the type. The mini train leaves every 10-15 minutes and covers the distance mentioned above, to the cave area. There is also a terrace here where you can wait for the entrance to the cave. It cost us 10 euros per person for adults, so 20 euros and free for children under 18. The entrance to the cave is only with a guide, on a pre-established route that goes up and down about 350 meters through the cave. The guide provides a series of information in English and much more in Greek and ensures that the group respects the predefined route. The cave, discovered in 1959, is spectacular and offers you an example of what the elements of nature can do over thousands of years. The merit of the Greeks is that they highlighted it by arranging a portion of the cave. You can find more details about the cave online. However, the fact that it seems like a well-planned Greek "business" does not detract from the beauty of the cave and its surroundings
Soe S — Google review
Beautiful and family-friendly cave experience! Petralona Cave was absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. The temperature inside is a comfortable +17°C all year round, so there’s no need to dress warmly. The entrance fee was €10 for adults, and seniors (65+) paid €5 — we visited in the off-season. Children under 18 enter for free, which was great for us since we had a baby and a 3-year-old with us. The cave itself is relatively small and compact — perfect for kids. The loop path takes around 20 minutes to complete, with many stunning formations to admire. Some parts of the path are a bit narrow, but still manageable. In front of the cave, there’s a kiosk and a picnic/waiting area with an incredible view of the surrounding area and the sea — perfect for watching the sunset! We enjoyed some ice cream and coffee from the kiosk while waiting for our tour to start. You can either take a short walk (about 800m) up to the cave or use the little transfer train from the parking area. The round trip on the train costs €3 per person, and children under 3 go free. We didn’t visit the museum (it requires a separate ticket), but overall, the service was friendly, and the experience was great — highly recommend it, especially for families!

A great change in scenery. It is a great place to take a break on a hot day - other than on a beach or inside. Things go fast even on a busy day and rather affordable (€10 for the cave, €5 for the museum and €3 for the train). Tour is 20 - 30 minutes without guide (for our group). I would recommend the museum first and cave after. Outside view is nice, too. The terrace near the entrance is a nice place to enjoy a drink.
Andrei C — Google review
The weather was bad so we decided to visit the caves after looking on google. The car park is a basic dirt road and we did struggle to get parked. Some cute little souvenir shops reasonably priced…again basic but fine. We got the train to the caves which took a couple of minutes and cost a few euros each. Once you are at the top to the entrance of the cave it is quite exposed with a couple of shelters, a coffee shack and reasonably clean toilets. Once we had paid there was a little wait before the last group came out of the cave, around 10 minutes or so. Once we were in the cave we were memorised!! What an amazing place! Really cleverly lit with secure steps throughout. We loved every second of it with such amazing photo opportunities. It was like being in another world. We were encouraged to stay with the group but we wanted to stay longer hehe! We walked back to the car chatting about our amazing experience!

Great fan of stalagtites/stalagmites caves, so we had to visit this one and it is definitely worth the trip. Currently, the entrance fee is 10 Euro (Oct 2025). Since we have been there close to the end of the season our group was comfortably small (I can imagine that in the summertime the visit will be very crowdy and not so quiet and comfortable). There is a parking lot (with some deserted tourist shops close by) and the possibility to be carried the 300 or so meters to the cave by a small train. Otherwise it's a 10 min walk slightly up the hill. After buying the tickets we had to wait a bit, approx. 10-15 min until enough people had gathered for the tour. The cave itself and all the formations were so amazing, I enjoyed it very much. The guide explained everything in greek and english. Whole tour is about 1 km and approx. 30 min. We did not visit the small museum with the bone collections, because we were more interested in the formations, but this would have been possible with a 5-euro fee and approx. 20 min.

By far one of the best in the world, this cave amazes at every step. It’s a hidden gem of Greece and a must-see! A long labyrinth of corridors with awe-inspiring forms will leave you in wonder of the mystery of nature. Park by the shops and walk up the hill or take the noddy train. Reasonably priced tickets, discounts for children and pensioners, and a tour guide included. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece at 9,570 feet (2,917 meters), is steeped in Greek mythology as the legendary residence of the Olympian gods. This majestic peak holds cultural and religious significance and is a symbol of divine power and natural beauty. Designated as a National Park since 1938 and a World Biosphere Reserve, Mount Olympus boasts exceptional biodiversity and rich flora.
Fantastic place full of interesting ruins,especially nice to see the stadium where the Olympic Games originated. The town is very touristy and full of tour buses.Parking could be a challenge later in the year( we where there in early May) But the site makes up entirely for any inconvenience. ❤️

It took us 2 days 1 night. We started off from gortsia. It was a crazy experience hiking Mount Olympus. The last bit of hiking is the hardest bit. We didn’t have helmets or ropes lol but you’re probably safer to get them, unless you’re fit and not scared of hights. Views up here was crazy and if you are a hiker you should definitely climb Mount Olympus!!

Yes, I'm reviewing a mountain. Not my first mountain either, although I haven't reviewed Kilimanjaro yet. Ok, it's a an actual mountain, summit above the tree line, though only 2918 meters (9.578 ft), no snow up there but plenty of wind and temps are way lower than at the bottom. It's about 25,000 steps to the top, almost all of them ascending, of course, over often technical rock and rooty trails. I suppose it could be done in a day, up and down, doubling the steps. but not by me. I'm 76 and two days were definitely necessary. There's a hut not far from the summit, very basic, with: • surprisingly good fresh food throughout the day and evening, staring with coffee at 6:30 am (and not a moment before) • yes they take cards, tho I was told sometimes the payment terrminals or internet connection don't work, so bring at least 25 Euro as backup • unheated rooms containing 8-12 cots, where you could end up trying to sleep next to someone snoring like a 500 lb boor, as I did. Not pleasant. Bring ear plugs.

AllinBlusive Private Cruises at Sani Resort offers a wonderful experience aboard the Sani Wind catamaran. Guests enjoyed excellent service, great facilities, and even WiFi on board. The highlight was spotting dolphins and being able to circle back for a better view. The opportunity to swim using the boat's paddle board added to the fun, and children were even allowed to pilot the catamaran, receiving certificates for their efforts. The stunning coastline views made for a memorable half-day morning cruise.
We had the most incredible experience on our half-day catamaran cruise with Captain Rania and her wonderful assistant Eva. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel completely welcome and at ease — especially my two boys, who absolutely adored them. Rania and Eva were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make the trip special for all of us. The service was top-notch, with plenty of delicious snacks and refreshing drinks offered throughout the cruise. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The views were stunning, the water was crystal clear, and we had just the right balance of relaxation and fun. And to top it all off — we were lucky enough to see dolphins toward the end of the trip! It was a magical, unforgettable moment for all of us. Highly recommend this experience for families or anyone looking to explore the Greek coast in the most enjoyable way possible. Thank you, Rania and Eva — you were truly amazing!

Sani Vibe Catamaran Experience – The Highlight of Our Holiday! We make it a tradition to book a catamaran on every holiday, but this trip truly set a new standard, without doubt the best we’ve ever had. From the moment we stepped on board the Sani Vibe, Captain Rania and Stavros made us feel like old friends rather than just guests. Along with the smooth sailing, we were treated to thoughtful included extras, delicious food, wines & beers, a paddleboard for the trip to the beach to explore caves, and even an inflatable raft that kept the children happily entertained. These little touches made the experience feel extra special and personal. The itinerary was perfect. We stopped at two breathtaking locations, where we swam in crystal-clear blue waters and snorkelled among colourful marine life. Just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better, two dolphins decided to join us on the journey home, gliding alongside the boat in what felt like a magical finale to an already perfect adventure. This trip was everything we could have wished for and more – relaxing, fun, memorable, and full of surprises. We would recommend this trip to anyone looking to create unforgettable holiday memories. Captain Rania and Stavros are exceptional hosts, and their passion for what they do makes all the difference.

We recently had the pleasure of taking a private sunset cruise on the Sani Dream with Allinblusive at Sani Resort, and it was nothing short of magical! Our group consisted of two families, seven people in total, including kids and adults, and each one of us was thoroughly looked after. From the start, the crew set the tone for an exceptional experience. Our hostess, Victoria, was incredibly attentive and friendly, always ensuring everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. Captain Ourania navigated the boat with such skill and ease, creating a smooth and safe journey that allowed us all to relax and fully enjoy the evening. One of the highlights for the kids was when my son had the chance to steer the boat under the captain’s guidance. Captain Ourania made this moment extra special, patiently showing him the ropes and even presenting him with a certificate at the end of the trip for captaining the boat—a treasured keepsake he hasn’t stopped talking about! As the sun began to set, we anchored for a swim and some paddle-boarding. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while out on the water was nothing short of breathtaking, creating a serene atmosphere that was unforgettable. This sunset experience was one of those rare, picture-perfect moments we’ll all remember for years. If you’re considering a private cruise at Sani Resort, we highly recommend Sani Dream. With a wonderful crew led by Captain Ourania and the warm hospitality of Victoria, this experience is a must for families or groups looking to create truly special memories together. We can’t wait for the chance to go again!

We had the absolute best day with George and Thanasis on the Sani Swan! They were incredibly insightful, sharing about the region and related mythologies and took us to beautiful locations where the water was so clear and blue that we were awestruck! Both of them made the day extra special for our son by paying particular attention to his experience and provided him with a paddle board, snorkeling gear, diving / jumping spots, being captain for a day, etc. They were so friendly and professional and offered treats and refreshments throughout the day. They asked us how this experience compares with other private cruises we’ve taken, and we absolutely think their professionalism and kindness was next level! By the way, the boat was beautiful too!

This is a beautiful marina but it was very busy with very affluent people. Most of the shops are high end name brands and very expensive. Nice place to visit and has an ATM if you need Euros.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Sani Marina, and while the resort had its charms, I must say that it did not live up to the hype or the exorbitant price tag. Despite its stunning location and luxurious reputation, there were several aspects of my stay that left me feeling underwhelmed. Dining options at the resort were plentiful, but the quality of the food was inconsistent. While some meals were delicious and well-prepared, others fell short of expectations. The prices at the restaurants were exorbitant, making it difficult to justify the expense for the quality received. I found myself seeking alternative dining options outside the marina to find better value for my money. In conclusion, while Sani Marina has its positive attributes, the overall experience fell short of the hype and the steep price tag. The service, dining, did not consistently meet the standards one would expect from a luxury resort.

(Translated by Google) Church in the district of Ag. Forty. Satisfying for a few people. I don't like her singers at all. It is a nice place to go and pray. In the basement temple they don't have water to put out the candles, it fills with smoke because they blow them out and you can't breathe. (Original) Εκκλησία στην συνοικία των Αγ. Σαράντα. Ικανοποιητική για λίγο κόσμο. Δεν μου αρέσουν καθόλου οι ψάλτες της. Είναι ωραίος χώρος να πας να προσευχηθείς.

Athanasakio Archaeological Museum of Volos

Mentioned on

Archaeological museum
Museums
History Museums
The Athanasakio Archaeological Museum of Volos, housed in an elegant neoclassical building, showcases ancient artifacts such as tombstones, gold jewelry, and statues spanning from the Stone Age to the Roman Era. Located in the vibrant city of Volos on the eastern coast of Greece, visitors can also enjoy its picturesque seaside promenade known as Argonauts Avenue and indulge in delicious seafood at welcoming taverns.
When you first walk into the museum you would naturally think it’s relatively old style with high ceilings and outside lighting through skylights and bright lamps that reflect of glass. Also white walls with hessian backings. These days lots of modern museums are dark with close LED lighting focused on the objects. However what you find is something very special. Many of the most important objects - mostly in the Neolithic section - are actually not behind glass at all. That gives the viewer a real close and personal contact with the objects. And the Neolithic objects are quite brilliant. A very important museum to visit.
Jeremy K — Google review
The Archaeological Museum of Volos pleasantly surprised us. It offers a fascinating collection of tools, jewelry, and everyday objects, dating back as far as 5000 BC. It was truly exciting to see in real life what I used to read about in school textbooks. All the information is provided in both Greek and English, which makes the experience accessible and engaging. We arrived on a Saturday around 11 a.m. and were the only visitors for a while, which gave us the chance to explore everything at our own pace. After about 40 minutes, a school group arrived, which brought a different energy — it was nice to see kids learning about their history. Highly recommended for a calm, meaningful visit!
Anna ( — Google review
Nice little museum a bit out of the city centre of Volos. They have three different exhibitions: one detailing the palaeolithic and neolithic findings from Thessaly, one detailing burial customs and steles from ancient Demetrias, and one detailing the history of Volos. They have most signs in English, at least the ones describing the artifacts, but the informational signs in the Volos exhibition are only in Greek. Overall, the museum can be visited in less than an hour, especially in the morning when there are fewer visitors.
Jesper — Google review
Wasn’t expecting the extend of the exhibits. Great pottery collections. Need less than an hour. Building has been maintained inside and outside (garden needs some tlc), aircondition was working so was nice and cool inside. Paid EUR 10 entrance. Seems like entrance increased based on previous Google reviews.

Nice little museum. Entrance is 10€. Easy to visit in an hour if you have some time to spare in Volos. Pity that most of the larger informational signs are only in Greek.
Robert R — Google review
I have very mixed feelings about this museum. On the one hand the exhibits are very good with interesting history and artifacts. There is a good amount of information available. It's a small museum but well put together. On the other hand, a lot of the information is only available in Greek. You can download a doc but it only gives an overview of the different exhibitions and a floor plan of the museum, nothing about individual objects. Having said that, I'm not sure that it's fair that non-Greek speakers must pay the same price or even more, and also at 10 Euro (29 Aug 2025), I feel they can really put in a little effort to also have everything in English too. There's supposedly some audio available that you can listen to for some things. But I asked the lady at reception and she said it's not working. Her English was very bad, so she might also have meant it's not available in English. So definitely make sure you take your phone with you and have an internet connection available so you can use Google Translate or a similar app to translate the various exhibit plaques.

A beautiful beach that is near two great taverns, has a bar, and has an organized stone staircase to go down to the beach. It’s not hard to access, but it has limited parking spots. BUT CAREFUL. You need to check the weather very well before you come here. It can have a strong wave and could cause danger to some weak swimmers. Come here on calmer, less windy days for the best enjoyment.

Amazing and beautiful beach! The water has an gorgeous color. Make sure to swim to the sides of the beach, and bring a floating mattress and a pair of goggles. Be aware that renting beach equipment such as a parasol and beds are pretty expensive.
Pavel K — Google review
One of the most beautiful beaches we've been to. The descent to the beach is also very special and beautiful. There is an opening in the stone that actually creates a separation between two beaches - one is smaller and more intimate but quickly fills up with people as time goes by. We arrived around 10:00 and it wasn't busy yet. The parking lot was full. The beach fills up quickly and when we left, around 1:00 PM, the parking lot and the beach were already full. The cost of renting an umbrella and two beach chairs is 30 euros. Worth the investment.

I recently visited this stunning beach beneath Pelion mountain, and it was an absolute paradise! The water is crystal clear, sparkling under the sun, and perfect for swimming or just wading in its refreshing embrace. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking—lush greenery meets nice , golden sand, creating a picture-perfect backdrop that feels like a postcard come to life. What truly sets this place apart is the vibrant, positive vibe; everyone, from locals to visitors, radiates joy and relaxation, making it an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the beauty. Whether you're looking to swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the serene atmosphere, this beach is a must-visit gem!

Fantastic beach with crystal clear water. The beach is made of small and large stones, it is not easy to place an umbrella. The beach consists of two parts that are connected by an opening in the rock, and those who do not want to go through the rock can also go through the shallows. In the long part of the beach there are several openings in the rock that look like entrances to caves. The sea here is fun for snorkeling because there are a lot of underwater rocks. There is a free parking lot above the beach, which is partly in the shade. There are steep steps and a steep and slippery path leading from the parking lot to the beach, so be careful. There is a restaurant in the parking lot with a great terrace and a divine view. There is a beach bar on the stairs with a fantastic view. On the beach itself, there is a bar that rents sunbeds at a price of €20 per set, which is too expensive. There is a shower and a changing room.

Seaside spa resort with luxe rooms, physiotherapy & thermal pools, plus refined dining options.
We stayed at this hotel in the middle of January. the hotel was surprised by the very, very friendly staff, the bartender served in the bar area, and his service is highly appreciated. The rooms are decorated in a modern style. We lived in a building that was renovated. a good store with high-quality clothes for spa treatments. The breakfasts and lunches are very good. the hotel has its own private parking.

I had high expectations for this spa, given the premium prices, but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. The cleanliness was absolutely unacceptable—dirty bathtubs, unkempt facilities, and an overall unhygienic environment that made it impossible to relax. The services were nowhere near what you would expect from a spa charging such high rates. The treatments felt rushed and unprofessional, with little to no attention to detail. The overall atmosphere lacked the serenity and luxury that a proper spa should offer. To make matters worse, the breakfast was just as bad—bland, low-quality food that was clearly not fresh.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location yet the maintenance is not as expected which left us with an unpleasant experience. The Spa pool and area are not clean enough, the towels ( if any, as not always available) are old and worn out same goes for the bathrob. This hotel has great potential to become a jewel but not in this cleanliness level.

Drymonas Waterfalls

Waterfalls
Nestled in the serene woodlands of northern Evia, the Drymonas Waterfalls offer a breathtaking escape into nature. This hidden gem features a stunning cascade that reaches up to 15 meters high, creating a picturesque scene surrounded by lush forests and the tranquil sounds of flowing water. A well-maintained path leads visitors from the parking area down to the base of the falls, where a natural pool invites you for a refreshing swim.
This is a good place to visit. It is a short walk along a well made path from the parking area down to the falls. There is a pool of water at the base of the falls that contains refreshingly cool water which is good to swim in. When I visited it was a warm August day with lots of people, and plenty of children having a great time. There are no changes rooms here so come prepared to swim or to change cloths in your car.

You can park your car at the top of the road and go down on foot on a very nice short path to the waterfall. The place is amazing, much more beautiful in real life. Very recommend with young kids, as it is a really short walk
Rachel G — Google review
I visited this place with my family and found the access quite easy. However, caution is needed as the pedestrian path has slippery rocks. When I visited in August, the waterfall had little water, but I believe it must be much more impressive during autumn. The whole area is still in the process of recovering from the devastating fire of August 2021. Four years later, the mountainsides are slowly turning green again. Yet, the charred tree trunks remain, standing like solemn monuments to the forest’s once-glorious past.
Stavroula K — Google review
A beautiful waterfall hidden in beautiful nature. It was awesome that it had water in August despite the hot weather. We drove there for about 35 minutes from Edipsos. The road is good and asphalted, though the last 10 kilometers it was a bit narrow. There were some sharp turns, but nothing drastic and we saw people arriving with small motorcycles. You park the car and then there's a short walk down a nice path for no more than 5 minutes to get to the waterfall. My tip is to get non-slippery shows because the stones on the path were a bit slippery. We went from there to Rovies and that part of the road was worse with many sharp turns and some damaged parts, so I would suggest to use the other way if you can. Definitely worth a visit!!
Milena P — Google review
This little place is magical! The waterfall had water during September, which is a good sign. You can take a dive in the small pond and enjoy the green nature around you. Unfortunately, that green nature is only around you, as the places surrounding the area have suffered from wildfires. The waterfall area has been kept mostly intact though. To reach it, you will have to descend some easy stairs. I do recomment using good shoes and not slippers, but you won't have an issue if you are careful. It won' take you more than 5-10 minutes.

The Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece, is a remarkable ancient structure dedicated to the god Apollo. Despite its current state of ruins, the temple's grandeur is still evident through its massive Doric columns and expansive foundation. The site offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and archaeological area. Delphi itself holds UNESCO World Heritage status and was once a prominent center for Greek city states to present votive offerings.
It’s a fantastic place. You can really feel the energies here. The ancient temples, the location itself, and the view are breathtaking. It fills you with good energy. A short meditation around the temple is wonderful. The whole place is in such a beautiful setting. The nearby town has very nice hotels and restaurants.

It is humbling to see how advanced the ancient Greek were, compared with the rest of Europe. A really impressive site to visit. The walk to the stadium is quite a climb. (Not hard, just exhausting in warm weather) If you really want to see it, go for it. It is beautiful. I would surely recommend getting a top view from the theatre, to really see how big the site is. Also, dont forget to visit the museum. Perhaps visit the museum first. And remember the statues you see there. A lot of pieces of the puzzle will fall in to place at the site. As you can hardly imagine how things would have looked
Jelle — Google review
The site itself is relatively compact and, to further that feeling, when we visited the Athena part of the monument was temporarily closed. The space is well kept, and even or a rainy day the site was still very accessible with no security concerns due to slippery terrains. The temple of Apollo was amazing and everything from top to bottom was stunning, especially in context with the rest of the remnants like the treasury and the market. Didn’t have time to visit the museum, however, I still found it very much enjoyable and interesting.
João C — Google review
An unforgettable experience. After visiting the museum we climbed the hill up to Apollo's temple. The place has a certain atmosphere, which cuts through even when the huge tour groups rumble through each area. If you have any interest in the Oracle you must come to see this magical place. Ask Apollo for advice at his temple, which is the centre of the universe, and wait for a sign. The views are stunning and the only negative is I wished it hadn't been so busy. Perhaps try to visit at a quieter time of year. Highly recommended.

The famous Temple of Apollo at the Delphi archaeological site, located between the beautiful town of Arachova and the modern village of Delphi, is absolutely worth visiting and highly recommended. The place where the temple stands feels magical—you can truly connect with the surrounding nature. There’s something special about the mountains, the golden-yellow flowers scattered everywhere, and the lush green trees. A helpful tip: be prepared for plenty of walking. It’s like an easy hike up to the upper part of the site, where you’ll find a stunning ancient stadium and breathtaking views.

The Delphi Archaeological Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the ancient site of Delphi. Just a short stroll from the archaeological ruins, this museum was established in the early 20th century to showcase an impressive collection of artifacts unearthed during excavations. Visitors can marvel at architectural sculptures, pottery, and inscriptions that date back as far as the 15th century BC. The exhibits provide fascinating insights into ancient Greek religion, art, and daily life in Delphi.
A wonderful little museum. The rich history of the site is well displayed in an ordered museum. We visited on a Wednesday at about midday. The museum was very busy, in particular the tour groups which whizzed through were cramming the whole place up. These should really be limited in size. Some really great pieces are in the museum and we both really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

Really incredible visit. The views are top notch and the entire site is exquisite to visit and learn about. We were nervous about the time to drive up from Athens, but we hired a driver for the day and it was worth every bit of the cost. Not only a driver, but guiding us along the drive and pointing us in the right direction once at the site. Worth doing, don’t drive yourself and I’d avoid the massive tour buses. Very much worth a visit all around. Do the site first and museum second. Bring water and be prepared for hills.
Alexander W — Google review
Wonderful museum and archeological site closed to the modern village of Delphi. The museum has wonderful artifacts but is not overpoweringly large. There is a good flow through the development of Delphi as a sacred site and it's demise before being restored by the Romans. The archilogical site is deceptively large, winding a long way up the mountainside. Allow at least 90 minutes to see the whole site. Cafe at museum ticket office serves good coffee and sandwiches. The shop is a bit twee but has some interesting items. Main downside of the site is the toilets. There is nowhere near enough for the volume of visitors and the inevitable queues and lack of cleanliness are quite offputiing. Much better to take the short walk into a taverna in the village, and probably as quick

Delphi was absolutely breathtaking — one of the highlights of my trip to Greece. The combination of stunning mountain views, ancient ruins, and peaceful atmosphere makes it a truly special place. Walking through the archaeological site, you can really feel the history and imagine what it must have been like thousands of years ago. The Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, and the stadium are incredible to see up close, and the museum adds great context with beautifully preserved artifacts. Everything is well organized and easy to explore, and the scenery surrounding the site is simply majestic — it feels almost spiritual.

Lots to see, varying degrees of difficulty great for individuals with wide range of physical capabilities, and must have a good knowledgeable guide to bring the site to life. Little known fact, a landslide in the last few years has made the area around and access to the Athena temple a restricted no entry area. However, there are plenty of amazing views and spaces to rest in the shade that allows you to soak it all up.

Definitely worth the visit! My only drawback was the very expensive cafe at the museum - I bought a half a tiny pizza that was tasty but somewhat dry and far, far too costly.

It was a long drive from Athens but it was worth it. If you have time, it's definitely worth seeing there. The same ticket works both for the Museum a d the Archeological Site. Beautiful history and well preserved statues. Highly recommended 👌🏼

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Kalamos beach

Beach
Outdoor Activities
We went there in March the sea was a bit wavey, and seemed pretty deep but it is an amazing place to go and relax on the beach. I believe that in the summer time the beach is full with people, there is a tavern on the beach and from what we saw plenty of rooms to let. The road is accessible and as most of Evia the landscapes are simply amazing, we loved it. Definitely a place to go back, and although we like to explore new beaches and places in extrasezon as we are not big fans of crowded places, it could be a place worth to visit in summer time.
Denisa P — Google review
Beautiful place with two lovely beaches separated by a rock with a hole. 1. The left beach is organized – calm, shallow water, perfect for families. We stayed at the beach bar where sunbeds & umbrellas were included with a €10 minimum consumption (drinks or food – e.g. freddo cappuccino €3, fresh juice €4). Great atmosphere, friendly service & tasty options. Note: the bar next door charged €5 just for the sunbeds, and food & drinks were paid separately. We didn’t check the prices at other bars on the beach, so they might differ. 2. The right beach is wild & peaceful – no facilities, just sand, sea & crystal-clear water. Lots of beautiful spots for photos & total relaxation. We truly enjoyed both sides! P.S. The photos I uploaded are from the second (wild) beach.
Monika T — Google review
This has turned out to be the best beach I've visited on the island so far. It's located in a little village, and the drive here was better than most. Water was clear and pretty warm for the end of August. Plenty of sand on the beach, and a couple of places where you can grab a bite to eat if you wish. Definitely recommended.
Anthem G — Google review
beautiful tranquil beach requires effort to get there but worth it
Terry B — Google review
Middle length of the beach no more than 200 meters. Most of the length is occupied from organized sunbeds that you do not need to rend it, you just need to order something from the taverna/Cafe bars that own the sunbeds. Outside, there are sand and small pebbles. Inside, at the first steps, there are small pebbled and after sand. After 3-4 meters is deep. I preferred Kalamos beach since it is clean and it is covered from North winds Last but not least, it has a very nice spot to do dives from a high rock.
Stefanos T — Google review
Sandy and clean beach, warm water and spectacular views! One of the most beautiful beaches on Evia with some local taverns in close proximity and showers available. It’s worth visiting, especially off season - we were lucky to be almost the only tourists on this heaven on Earth in October :)

So the water was not so clean as it is in most images howewer it wasnt bad . The title "best beach of evia" is not right because even though the accesability isn't the worst , the beach is not sandy at all and not very relaxing.

Good prices - with 38€ for 2 people - in this price we had sunbeds with umbrella, we drank all day and ate lunch. Food was not delicious but it depends on the provider. Beach is very clean, water is clear and with no algae. Relaxing atmosphere.

The displays are in Greek and French, so if you speak that language I would give it four stars. While not everything needs to be in English and appreciate that it annoys some people, it is however the lingua franca. The museum is small, with detailed displays and exhibits covering the ancient city. Toilets are available and parking is out front. Handy, for walking over the main road to the ruins

Archaeological Museum of Thebes

Mentioned on 
 
Archaeological museum
Museums
The Archaeological Museum of Thebes offers a comprehensive exploration of the rich history of Thiva, known as ancient Thebes, which played a significant role in Greek civilization from the Bronze Age. The museum features well-curated exhibitions covering various periods including Mycenaean and Byzantine eras. Visitors appreciate the thoughtful layout that guides them through the mythological origins and historical ages. The museum also provides informative videos with tasteful illustrations.
The city where Dionysus and Hercules were born. Thebes is a must-see. It is also the city where Antigone, the first tragedy known in world literature, took place and the city where Oedipus was king but later exiled. It was very exciting to visit the museum of this city, which had great importance in ancient Greece. The lady working at the museum ticket office was very kind. Her asking "Are you under 25?" I think there was a discount for those under 25, but it was too late for us. The museum has a very nice layout, but it is still useful to take a photo of the direction sign at the entrance before entering. There is a great chronology inside. There is also a section dedicated to Antigone. Everything from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman Empire is exhibited very neatly. A neutral style was used as the language of history. Before entering the museum, there is a museum cafe at the end of the corridor on the right side of the door, but it was closed due to the holiday. There are also toilets right across the stairs. It was very clean. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience. 🩷🩷 This might be the most beautiful museum I've visited in Greece.

Very nice and well-maintained museum. Friendly welcome and guided staff who pointed out to us to visit the lower part as well. Without his friendly help we would have certainly missed this. Thanks & too bad this city does not seem so touristy. It is possibly all the fault of Alexander the Great and the final downfall of Thebes: the city was totally destroyed by him in 335 BC.
Steven V — Google review
A rich collection of archaeological findings spanning the history of Beoetia from the paleolithic to the early Ottoman period. All signs and exhibit labels are in Greek and English. We took it slow and read almost everything and consequently spent around 3.5 hours here, but the average person will probably spend ~2 hours here.
Yoav E — Google review
Staff on the gate desk spoke English and appreciated the attempted use of Greek language whilst purchasing tickets (€10 for a standard entrance ticket). Outdoor exhibits are seen first and cover some very early periods of Ancient Greek sculpture, masonry and statue. All exhibits have dual Greek and English text and are detailed, both in the overall topic/ section and for numbered items in display cases - the interior exhibits are separated by era (Iron Age, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine etc) making navigation simplistic. The structure uses primarily flat ground but a wheelchair lift is available for disabled visitors in the one room that is lower than the rest of the buildings layout (this accessibility did not extend to the castle tower on the museum grounds which required visitors to navigate 2 small sets of above average steep metal steps to gain full access). I cannot comment on the onsite Café as it was early in what appeared to be renovations at the visit time. The museum Gift shop, which you walk past/ through when entering the indoor exhibits, stocked some small replicas of assorted busts and jewellery etc. Photography is allowed for non-commercial use (without flash). Overall, a worthy visit for any history nerd, especially in regards to the insights on the mundane through burial items, craftsmanship, changing artistic styles through the eras and shifting political and military policy as Greek land passed between so many hands and invading cultures over its history (there are no interactive exhibits or big fancy weapons racks for children to marvel at however, so be wary of those who have little patience for reading).

I had wished to visit this place for many years and, finally, I did. We are all familiar with the Marathon contests all around the world, but, this is the The Place, the origin, from where the Greek soldier Pheidippides, ran to Athens to report victory in the Battle of Marathon; he died of exhaustion after delivering the good news. Today's runners, fortunately, survive, although any Marathon race is extremely demanding. Visit the place with me, you are in no danger, enjoy good food and coffee at the shore of the Marathon Lake (it's an artificial one), wander the picturesque landscape, watch birds and just relax. Have a nice trip!

Do NOT use this route. This map leads u to middle of nowhere, on dirt road, you will see valleys with trees burnt, and then dirt road track ended, field of wild flowers and grass filled the area, we had to make a u-turn to get out. DO NOT use this route if you want to visit Lake Marathon. Instead, if you must visit, pick the Lake Marathon panoramic view on Google map. It’s over-rated.

Perched 1,500 feet above Loutraki, Monastery Saint Patapios is a serene retreat with stunning views of the Corinth Canal, gulfs of Corinth and Saronic, and Lake Vouliagmeni. Accessible via a narrow winding road and 144 steps, this spiritual oasis welcomes visitors to explore its small church and the cave housing the remains of the saint.
O Patapios, venerable Father, pray to Christ our God to grant us His great mercy. The relics of Saint Patapios and the skull of Saint Hypomone (also known as Helena Dragaš) are preserved at this monastery.

Interesting place for panorama, the church, the cave. Not so much parking, but if you go in the right timing, you find. The church is amazing with a lot of frescoes. The cave is keeping the body of the saint. View on Loutraki, you can see the Korynthos channel, you can see the two seas….the road to get there is very small, better to pass through the road in the direction of perachora

A beautiful and peaceful monastery in the mountains of Loutraki. It is not only a place of religious significance but also a spot of natural beauty.

The St. Patapios Monastery is set on a hill (mountain) just above, north from the sea side town of Loutraki. Have in mind this is not the Monastery you see on that same hill from Loutraki beach. The St. Patapios Monastery is further up, secluded in the mountain, hard to spot down from the town. A 15-20 min narrow winding road drive takes you to a parking lot from where're several flights of steps to the Monastery. You can visit a nicely decorated small Church, as well the cave with St. Patapios relics. Best of all are the outstanding views from there - towns of Loutraki and Corinth, the Ionian side entrance to Corinth canal and both, Ionian and Aegean Sea. It's a nice 2 hours excursion from Loutraki I strongly recommend, both cultural and scenic

Well designed mall worth the visit, most of the brands are there ( nothing luxurious), there is variance in the price and tax refund are located there for smooth transaction. Also some coffee shops and restaurants to rest Highly recommended during your visit to Athens
Tarek R — Google review
We stopped here on our way to the airport, and it was a much more pleasant and relaxed shopping experience compared to Athens, which felt hot, crowded, and stressful in comparison. There’s a free luggage storage service available until 8:30 PM, which was really convenient. You’ll find a variety of restaurants, a large supermarket, and cafes with delicious pastries—all at reasonable prices. Most major clothing, footwear, and homeware brands are represented here. We arrived in the early afternoon. Although it was warm, there was a nice breeze. As the weather cooled down later, the place started to fill up with more visitors. One thing that truly stood out was how clean the restrooms were—honestly the cleanest I’ve seen anywhere in the world. The taxi from Athens cost €30 and took about 35 minutes. Just note that to leave the area, you’ll need to order a taxi (Uber works well).
Sharon L — Google review
We stopped here on our way to the airport for some last-minute shopping, and it was pretty cool. The mall has two big sections: an open area and a covered part. It’s spacious and family-friendly, plus there's a playground for the kids. Everything is well-designed and the restrooms are impressively clean. The Guest Services provides a free luggage storage service for tourist shoppers, but you need to show a plane ticket to use it. You can find all kinds of restaurants, a supermarket, and cafes with yummy pastries, and everything's reasonably priced. Most of the stores are branded, offering good deals on clothes, shoes, and household stuff. Just make sure to keep your receipts so you can get a tax refund for your purchases at the airport. The only downside is that there's no store for authentic Athens souvenirs, which is kind of a bummer.

As with most outlets all over the world, the architectural layout and the brands displayed are similar. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. Because of the physical layout, visitors are not shielded from the rains if they want to move from shop to shop unless they use the underground carpark. When I was there on Monday, there wasn't many people. It opens at 10 in the morning.

Attica Zoological Park

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Don’t stress the reviews, reliable, easy to book online, got us there quickly, everyone was kind, just don’t come late and you won’t be stressed. Really grateful and such a more pleasant commute than flying!

Not much to say. Been helped super fast. Got good price and advice. Was also able to leave bags in office for couple of hours while waiting for ferry.

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.

Marina

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.

Lake

Lake Vouliagmeni, located in the Athenian Riviera, is a scenic natural wonder with thermal mineral water. It is part of the National NATURA 2000 list and home to unique organisms like the Garra Rufa fish known for skin exfoliation. The lake's crystal-clear waters are fed by underground hot springs, offering a constant temperature year-round. Visitors can swim and enjoy the beautiful surrounding scenery.
We had an amazing experience here! The doctor fish were incredibly therapeutic, they took a little bit to get used to but once I did it was so fun. It was really an awesome unique experience! Our waitress Olga was incredibly attentive and made our entire experience amazing! Thank you especially for Olga! We also had several drinks and food all of which were delicious! The service was also very nice and fast, I highly recommend checking the lake out on your visit to Greece!

A hidden gem for sure - more of a beach club than we were expecting but it’s very relaxed with a great array of amenities (showers, bar, restaurant). It’s a beautiful setting and the doctor fish were a great add to the experience. Staff aren’t the most welcoming or attentive but the food was tasty. Would recommend!

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 place is just suuuuper cool👍👍 Enjoyed it just a to the beginning of March, sunny weather. Sun is very warm, but not burning, temperature in the lake is very refreshing. Lake is surrounded by the high rocks, so there is no wind there, just a smooth breeze.All what you need on weekend!! and it is very close to Athens 👍

Absolutely great idea to visit this lake. Come early as the sunbeds get occupied pretty fast by lunch time. No sunscreen allowed into the water, which is perfect in my opinion. Food and drinka available as well as wheelchair access.

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.

Everything is great. But look on this toilets.??? 17 euros entrance ticket and you can not fix it. You can see a neighbor in another cabin from the hole in that plastic cover. The door is not closing and the button with a mechanism outside

Very beautiful place. But the staff ist handeling und the equipment during opening houers in the afternoon which is very noisy and disturbing. They even take your chairs away you pay for and put yor stuff somewhere else 2h before closing. If one charges about 40 EUR entrance fee clarly wrong.
