Highlights
- Lake Vouliagmeni - Immediately to the south of town and very close to the sea, a rare geological formation is to be found that gave the suburb its modern name: Lake Vouliagmeni (“Sunken Lake”), a small brackish-water lake fed by underground currents seeping through the mass of Mount Hymettus. Because of its constant and comfortable water temperature -at about 24ºCelsius the lake functions as a year-round spa.

Best way to spend day - Having a later flight out following disembarking a cruise we booked a tour with Athens Limos at 9am with & airport drop off at 3pm.
Very hot day so we were grateful to be able to hop in & out of the vehicle.
Had a lovely day driving up the coast out of Athens with Peter. A part of Athens we hadn't seen before & well worth it.
Very friendly, patient & helpful guide for the day.
A beautiful lunch at a coastal restaurant before airport drop off!
Perfect!
Thank you

Great trip for sunset - Definitely a must do. The driver was very courteous and knowledgeable. He took us to an intimate restaurant with the best Greek seafood we have tasted. The view and experience of the temple was something to remember forever. Thank you so much.
