WELCOME TO VOULA – WHERE SEA MEETS SIZZLE!
Fancy a seaside escape with a dash of Athenian flair? Voula, situated on the Athens Riviera, is your go-to destination for a perfect mix of sun, sea, and city buzz. This delightful seaside town offers a charming blend of sandy beaches, clear blue water, and easy access to the vibrant heart of Athens.
Start your adventure with a leisurely stroll along Voula’s sandy beaches. The crystal-clear water is perfect for a refreshing dip, or, if you prefer to stay dry, take in the stunning sea views with a chilled frappé in hand. Voula Beach, with its well-maintained facilities, offers everything you need for a relaxing day by the sea – from sunbeds and parasols to showers and changing rooms.
After the beach, head to Platia Voulas, the main town square, and the social and cultural heart of the town. Surrounded by shops, cafés, and restaurants, the square hosts various events and activities throughout the year, from cultural festivals to live music performances. A great spot to experience local culture!
Feeling peckish? Voula is brimming with cosy cafés and traditional tavernas where you can savour mouthwatering Greek delicacies. Whether you're looking for freshly grilled seafood or a classic moussaka, you’re in for a treat. And let’s not forget the local wines – the area’s famed retsina pairs well with Greek meze and seafood, making it a popular choice in Voula’s tavernas.
The proximity to Athens means you can explore some of the historic wonders of the city easily. The journey from Voula to the centre of Athens takes around 30 minutes by car or cab. If you're using public transportation, it takes a bit longer, but this remains a popular choice. The 50-minute coastal tram route is direct and incredibly scenic, making it a pleasant and convenient way to travel.
As the day winds down, enjoy a scenic walk along the promenade, where the setting sun casts a golden glow over the Aegean – the perfect backdrop for an evening of relaxation. For those with a bit of energy left, Voula has a selection of charming bars, where you can enjoy a nightcap. Also, many local restaurants and tavernas stay open late, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely dinner with traditional Greek cuisine, often accompanied by live music. ‘Opa!’
Whether you're after a peaceful retreat or an exciting adventure, with its beautiful coastal views, superb location, and delectable cuisine, Voula offers the ideal Athenian Riviera escape.

Exciting tours and activities
From priority access for attractions, to day trips to historic sites, here’s our must see activities in Voula
Half-day private tour of Athens with Acropolis and Plaka visits
The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
