Sand And Water Play On The Beaches In Athens

Celeste from Family Goes Out agrees that the weather in Athens is mild enough year round to spend yours days playing on the beach! Here are just a few of her favorite Blue Flag beaches that are great not just for summer, but winter as well.

This beach is located at a distance of 45 km from Athens at the North East side. In summer it can get very busy in the weekends with many young people and music but during the weekdays and off season this beach is one of my favorites. A long stretch of sandy beach in the Marathon Bay, clean water, organized and surrounded by many watersports centres in case your children are old enough.

This beach gets very crowded in summer and weekends but is ideal in autumn. It is organized with umbrellas, chairs, showers and snacks. At a 100 meter distance from Avlaki is Panorama beach, not organized but very good for families.

Varkiza is nice town to visit during a family excursion all year round. There are many taverns and playgrounds and the beach is sandy with volleyball courts, water games and open play areas. My favorite beach for families in Varkiza is Yabanaki beach. Varkiza is a small town and one of the most developed and popular areas in the southern suburbs, quite lively during the summer season.
