About Vouliagmeni and the Kavouri promenade
West of Vouliagmeni Bay, the twin pine-covered peninsulas of Megalo and Mikro Kavouri hold some of the loveliest coast in Athens: lavish villas, clear swimming coves and the picture-book chapel of St George. The paved seafront path that begins just after Lasithi Café on Iliou Street has been refreshed with new planting and cafés, and runs along the water of Mikro Kavouri. For a second leg, cross to Astir Beach and follow Apollonos Street out along the Laimos peninsula, a favourite route of the city’s runners. Our advice: walk in the early morning or at sunset, and pack a swimsuit for the public bathing spots along the way.
Our take
- Clear swimming coves
