Athens Riviera Beach|7 mins WALK Beach|Sea View|Parking| "Best of Both Worlds"

Our 75m2 Penthouse beach apartment on the Athenian Riviera, makes it the ideal choice for combining a beach holiday, with a city trip to Athens.
The trip from our place to the Acropolis, with public transport, takes in total a little over 1 hour, along the beautiful Athenian Riviera coast.

FREE AIRPORT PICK UP SERVICE
We offer a free pick up service from the airport to the apartment and will also bring you back free of charge to the airport at your departure.

THE APARTMENT
This apartment had been rented out for 2017 and 2018 to a family from the USA, working as expats for an American company in Athens. As they moved back to the USA, the beginning of 2019; the apartment is now back and available again on Homeaway/VRBO.

The villa consists of two fully independent and separate rental levels, each with its own entrance: ground floor and our lovely Penthouse on the second floor, with amazing sea view.

In the past both apartments were rented our separately, as well as to guests who requested to rent both together. Presently the two apartments are only rented out separately and use of the villa's swimming pool and garden, are basically for the exclusive use of guests staying at our more expensive ground level apartment.

We are situated in lovely Lagonisi (marker on the map isn't 100% correct) on the beautiful Athenian Riviera, south of Athens center, located in a quiet street, at just a 500 meter walk from a big sandy beach with free lounge beds, umbrella's and a beach cafeteria .
Two other sandy beaches, all with free lounge beds, umbrella's and beach cafeteria's are also at just an 8 and 10 minute walk.

The large living room, with an open fire place, has two large relax chairs, a three person couch and a two person couch and a TV set.
The adjoining dining area, has a table with four chairs.

The large living room can be used as a second bedroom, where we can place one or two single beds, in the far corner, which are not in the way at all.

The apartment has 3 balconies:

One large balcony with sea view at the front, with a table and 4 chairs, ideal for enjoying a romantic dinner, while watching the sun set into the sea.

One large sunny side terrace with sea view, with two lounge beds and a table with 4 chairs, ideal for having breakfast outside and suntanning.

A small balcony at the back, with impressive mountain view.

The kitchen, with sea view, has all kitchen utensils needed (knives, forks, spoons, cups, pans, plates etc.), a large fridge, a microwave/grill, a coffee machine, a 4 pit electric cooker plus oven, dishwasher etc.

The separate bedroom, has a double bed and a wardrobe. If needed a baby cot can be added.

The small but functional bathroom has a, shower, washing table and a toilet.

OUR AREA: THE ATHENIAN RIVIERA
Some of the best sandy beaches in Greece are at a short walking distance from the Villa. In fact 3 lovely organized sandy beaches, one with a small children's playground and all with nice beach restaurants, are just down the road at a short walking distance and are awaiting you.

The closest is at just a 500 meter walk (the others at an 8 and 10 minute walk).

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

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

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

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

There are also many interesting places to visit near by, such as "Cape Sounion" with the famous Temple of Poseidon with its magical sunset. The picturesque village of "Porto Rafti" with its lovely bay and walking boulevard full of restaurants, which looks like a Greek island.
"Vravrona" with the ancient Temple of Artemis the Greek goddess of hunt and nature, "Varkiza" with its seaside walking boulevard, many restaurants and the wondeful beach/ sports complex "Yabanaki" resort.
The impressive Vouliagmeni cave lake resort, where one can swim in lukewarm "healing" water all year round is an absolute "must". The cosmopolitan city of "Glyfada", with its large shopping boulevards with shops of all kinds, cafeteria's and seaside walk, is a favorite for an evening outing, both for Athenians and tourists.

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

There is a bus stop at just 600m from the apartment, for the Athens urban express bus to the metro station. The bus leaves every 25 minutes and quickly brings you to the metro station, from where you go you straight into Athens Center, making also a stop near the Acropolis.

The trip from our place to the Acropolis, along the beautiful Athenian Riviera coast, takes in total a little over an hour. A ticket for a 5 day unlimted use of the Athens bus and metro, costs only 9 euro.

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

Little electric street trains, open air double deck “hop on hop off” buses, horse and carts, stand up mopeds and family bike carts, are just a few of the means available to explore the unique Athens center around the Acropolis.

The new impressive Acropolis museum, which has been voted as one of the best museums in the world, is a thrilling eperience.

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

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

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

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

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

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, We are Constantijn and Karin and we are from the Netherlands.

We moved to Greece 20 years ago, because Constantijn was transferred to a Dutch multinational company's office in Athens, fell in love with the city and we never looked back !

We used to live in Athens center, but 14 years ago, after holidaying in the area, we decided to go with our (then) small son for quality of life and moved to the beautiful Athenian Riviera.
It is a peaceful, secure place with friendly people, where one can still enjoy authentic Greek hospitality.

Our property is located in a quiet street, at a short 5 minute walking distance from several lovely sandy beaches and truly is the “Best of Both worlds”. You are in a holiday area, but also at just an hour with public transport from the Acropolis.

We live near the property and are always available for any info or assistance you might need.

We love traveling ourselves and enjoy meeting people from all over the world and making their stay with us as pleasant as possible.

Our motto is “ You may come to us as strangers, but our aim is to say farewell to you as friends”.

Why they chose this property

Our apartment truly constitutes "THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS", since it combines a relaxed beach holiday, with a city trip to Athens; Europe's oldest capital.

It is the ideal choice for guests who want to enjoy Athens to its fullest, but don't want to stay in the busy city itself, but instead just out of it, near the beach, in an apartment with stunning sea view.

Just south of the hustle and bustle of central Athens, lies one of the city’s most treasured assets, also known as “Greece’s best kept secret”: “The Athenian Riviera”.

This is where our luxurious Penthouse apartment with beautiful sea view, is located; at just a 5, 7 and 8 minute walk from three lovely sandy beaches.

All along this gorgeous photogenic stretch of palm tree coastline, with it's five-star resorts, spas, esplanades, marinas, rocky coves, windsurfing, sailing and sandy beaches with blue-flag certified crystal clear waters, you can experience the kind of island magic that many people come to Greece for, …. without having to set foot on a ferry !

Athens center is easily accessible public transport. The 122 Athens urban bus, which passes every 25 minutes, takes you along the beautiful coastal road straight to the metro station, from which it is just a few stops to the Acropolis. The trip by bus and metro to Athens center takes a little over 1 hour.

Our property is also ideal for going on one day tours, to some of the most famous ancient sites of Greece such as Delphi, Mycenae, Ancient Corinth etc and for visiting the near by Saronic gulf islands, such as Aeghina, Hydra and Spetses, on one day trips.

It can also serve as a "home base", for two day trips to islands a bit further away, such as Santorini, Myconos etc
