Coast to Coast Athens

Walk next to the sea

Marilena from Athens

"Athens has the big advantage that it's built by the sea. If you feel like you want to relax, walking along the kilometers of unbroken coastline is one..."

Ladies and gentlemen, from Faliro to Kavouri (which means... crab!) here comes the magnificent coastline of Athens!

Lots of people that visit the city ignore how beautiful this walk next to the sea is.

There are kilometers of coastline from Faliro to Elliniko, Alimos, Glyfada, Voula and even farther! So if you feel like you need a break from the center of Athens and that you have already seen too many ancient sights and visited too many museums, it is about time to take a break and visit the coastline of Athens!

One of its highlights is "Floisvos Park" where there are cafes and restaurants around and where you can enjoy your drink while enjoying the sun diving into the sea. Also there are playgrounds for your children! You can enjoy a walk next to the sea and taste "kalampoki" (corn) or "kastana"- typical street food tapas.

Dogs, cats, people running, people with bicycles, families, old people playing chess - it's a lively area of Athens that is worth a walk around in!

It is easily accessible -- just take the green line of train until Faliro and then catch the tram until Floisvos or Batis (direction Asklipeio Voulas) or take the tram from Kasomouli and you can take both directions -- Sef or Asklipeio Voulas.

If you are a lover of the sea please do not miss a walk there!

Since I finished my studies of “Business Administration” (still do not know why I studied something that I dislike!) , I started working at my family run travel agency. Unfortunately , because of Covid we have to close that agency . But the last year my husband and cospotter Dimitris we run a channel at YouTube called “Easy Greek” where we help people learning Greek from our videos . I love music and I like any kind of e...

Fuzz club

Live music experience

"Fuzz Club" is one of the best music clubs in Athens, hands down. I have attended at least 30 concerts here, and I always enjoy my time in this venue.
