Vouliagmeni Holidays

Just a 30-minute drive south of Athens, you’ll come to a luxurious seaside suburb known for its crystal-clear waters, stunning landscapes, and upscale atmosphere. Nestled between pine-covered hills and the sparkling Saronic Gulf, the picturesque town of Vouliagmeni is a popular destination for both locals and tourists looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

One of the area’s crown jewels is Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural thermal spa surrounded by rocky cliffs, and where the town got its name (vouliagmeni means “sunken” in Greek). The lake – which is actually a flooded limestone cave – has warm, mineral-rich waters known for their therapeutic properties, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and wellness, and if you fancy a swim, it’s a great place for a leisurely dip.

The other jewels in Vouliagmeni’s crown come in the form of its beautiful beaches, which are among the finest on the Athens Coast. Astir Beach, with its golden sands and crystal-clear waters, is a favourite for those seeking a little bit of luxury on the beach, offering sunbeds, umbrellas, and beachside service. For a more laid-back vibe, Kavouri Beach offers a mix of sandy coves and rocky outcrops, perfect for swimming and sunbathing, and the Akti Vouliagmeni Beach is Blue Flag awarded, so you know it’s good.

Dining in Vouliagmeni is a culinary delight, with numerous seaside restaurants and tavernas serving fresh fish, seafood, and traditional Greek dishes. The town’s sophisticated nightlife, featuring stylish bars and lounges, provides the perfect ending to a day in this coastal paradise. Vouliagmeni is for the many – whether you’re after relaxation, adventure, or a slice of luxury, this town offers something for everyone, and an idyllic escape on the Athenian Riviera.
