What To Expect
Glyfada
Glyfada, situated in the Athens Riviera, is a suburban area located in South Athens. It occupies the southern parts of the Athens' Urban Area, stretching from the base of Hymettus mountain to the Saronic Gulf. It holds the distinction of being the largest among the southern suburbs of Athens. Due to its exceptional waterfront position, bustling commercial hub, and contemporary business district, Glyfada has evolved into the focal point of Athens' southern suburbs. It is often referred to as the centerpiece of the 'Athens Riviera' and showcases some of Europe's most luxurious coastal residences, beautiful gardens, and extensive beachfront properties. Additionally, Glyfada boasts a modern marina.
Lake Vouliagmeni
Lake Vouliagmeni, situated to the south of Vouliagmeni, Greece, is a small lake with brackish water. It is fed by underground currents that permeate through Mount Hymettus. The formation of this lagoon dates back approximately 2,000 years when a large cavern collapsed as a result of an earthquake. What makes the lake truly remarkable are its distinctive environmental conditions. Warm seawater, ranging from 28 to 35 degrees Celsius, enters the lake through an underground channel that meanders through a network of submerged caves. As a result, the lake maintains a minimum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (typically ranging between 21 and 24 degrees Celsius). Additionally, the lake has served as a spa since the late 19th century. Further inside the mountain, there exists an underwater cave that extends deeply, remaining unexplored in its entirety. Even with the use of sonar detection, tracing the cave's end appears to be an impossible task.

5.00Costas was such a great guy and provided us with so much great information and insight to the sites we visited. He was very helpful and very kind. We enjoyed our tour very much! I would definitely recommend this tour and Costas. He even made sure we had time and took us to an amazing seaside restaurant called Four Brothers. I had the best fish I have ever had in my life, tsipoura! You have to order it. Thank you for an awesome experience.

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on the Sounio Sunset View tour via the stunning Athenian Riviera, and a big part of that was thanks to our fantastic driver, Konstantinos. From the very beginning, Konstantinos was professional, punctual, and incredibly welcoming. He made us feel comfortable right away and ensured that the journey was smooth and relaxing. As we drove along the beautiful coastal road, he shared interesting insights about the area, local history, and hidden spots along the Riviera that we would have never discovered on our own.
A Perfect Sunset at Sounio

5.00Our Sounio Sunset View via the Athenian Riviera Private Tour was an absolutely beautiful experience, and we owe a big thank you to our driver, Xenofon. From the start, Xenofon was punctual, professional, and very friendly. The drive along the Athenian Riviera was smooth and relaxing, with stunning coastal views all the way to Cape Sounio. He shared helpful insights about the area and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. Arriving at the Temple of Poseidon just before sunset was the highlight of the tour. Xenofon timed everything perfectly, allowing us to enjoy the breathtaking colors of the sky as the sun dipped into the Aegean Sea. It was truly a magical moment.
