Athens Riviera: Beaches, Glyfada and the Tram
A practical guide to the Athens Riviera, comparing Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza and the coastal tram from central Athens.
I write mostly about quiet destinations, family travel, traditional villages, and places that reward a slower pace. I focus on practical details, seasonal limitations, accessibility, and whether a destination genuinely suits families. I am especially drawn to nature, local food, scenic drives, and Greece beyond the busiest resorts.
