Bright, endless, innocent summers; the summers of our childhood, when we would spend our days swimming and eating ice cream, when we would take the bus with our parents to the south coast of Athens. Swimming in Vouliagmeni and eating lunch on the beach. Then off to a pastry shop for orange juice and dessert or to an open air cinema catching the latest summer movie release.

Vouliagmeni Beach is closely bound to the nostalgia we feel for those sweet times that are no longer here, but our walks by the sea still bring something of that retro beauty we once cherished. And now we have another good reason to rediscover it all over again. The most popular and largest serviced beach in the southern suburbs of Attica has modern, new equipment, high quality facilities, and excellent amenities for children and people with disabilities, as well as free parking inside the beach from Apollonos Street.

So that’s where we are heading on the sunny weekends of this summer to experience moments of rejuvenation, relaxation and fun, on a beach with crystal clear waters, awarded with a Blue Flag, ideal for refreshing, enjoyable dips. As for sports lovers, Vouliagmeni Beach offers a wide range of sports facilities including tennis courts, basketball courts, beach volleyball, and outdoor fitness equipment that bring the gym experience to a perfectly summery setting.

In Vouliagmeni Beach it’s like we are on holiday

Vouliagmeni Beach is a place that truly brings back the beauty and tender feelings of a more innocent time and the best part is that everyone can join in. Tots will be running around on the lawn and playing with cute wooden and rubber toys on the playground, while their parents can spend some quiet time enjoying their coffee. At the same time, access for people with disabilities to the beach is excellent, as this year the access corridors have been increased from 1 to 3, while there are also two wheeled beach trolleys and a special entrance-access to the beach.

Vouliagmeni Beach is the most affordable and value for money choice for your summer swims in the city. The tempting entrance fee includes not only nice sunbeds/umbrellas but also high quality services. Over the years, Vouliagmeni Beach remains the place where we want to spend our summer while still in the city; a beach that is not far from the centre of Athens and can provide a retreat for relaxation, as if we were on holiday before the holidays even begin.
