Beaches
A stones throw from down town Athens lies the beautiful beach of Yabanaki, offering a cooling dip on a hot summers day or a relaxing stroll down its sandy shores. The beach is lined with stylish white parasols and plush loungers alongside a pool bar and a number of cafes just meters away. There is an abundance of accommodation and entertainment nearby in the growing resort of Varkiza to help keep you occupied, such as windsurfing, water skiing and banana boating for the more daring. And after a long day lazing in the sun, why not amble along to the nearby restaurants to sample one of their traditional Greek specialities, like a tasty Moussaka or stuffed vine leaves?
Although the beach itself is accessible all day long, the sports hire and facilities are open daily from 8am until 8pm.
(Prices for sporting activities vary according to the age of the swimmers and the time of year).
