GLYFADA, ATHENS

One of the glossiest parts of the Athens Riviera is the neighborhood of Glyfada. Located right on the seafront (and only about a half-hour drive or 45-minute tram ride from the city center), with lovely beaches, big restaurants, and rows and rows of high-end stores, this is where many locals dream of moving in order to combine the best of city-living with all that the coast has to offer.

One thing you’ll notice is that the people you’ll see on the streets here tend to be well-dressed even for doing non-glamorous things, like going to the gym. However, the locals know that in Glyfada, every outing is an opportunity for seeing and being seen.
