Attica

Glyfada

A great place for European recreation is Glyfada, which is pleased with its proximity to Athens (only 15 km), with developed infrastructure, a vibrant nightlife, and endless golf courses.

Lagonissi

If your family holiday is better, settle down in a small cozy resort town Lagoniss (Lagonissi), washed by the warm waters of the Aegean.

Features: leisurely endless stream of tourists, national music coming from the crowded cafes, antique tubs with olive trees, exposed along the boulevards, laid-back atmosphere of the festival, the festival of life, sun, well-being .

The nighttime sparkling panorama of Athens is a reward for those who reached the top of the Likavitos hill, which is crowned by the white chapel of St. George.

Temple of Poseidon

The second brightest pearl in the collection of attractions of Attica is the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. A powerful giant, framed by slender columns, symbolizes a harmonious union of earth and the sea depths. Sailors and rulers of Greece sacrificed their sacrifices here, believing in the inseparable connection of ordinary mortals and the inhabitants of Olympus. It is possible, following their example, to leave a branch of olive or magnolia as a gift to the Greek celibates, whether it is not enough ...
