The ultimate luxury beach experience, Astir Beach is considered one of the top spots for a summer swim in Athens. Located in the chic southern suburb of Vouliagmeni, Astir offers a full range of high-quality services, from free WiFi across the beach, to the ability to pre-book one of the large and comfortable sun-loungers. And of course, a wide selection of coffees, ice creams, food and drink are all available.All of this of course comes at a price – Astir is one of the relatively few beaches with an entrance fee which is about 80 euros during the week and 160 euros on the weekends per pair of sun beds requested.
But if what you are after is some pampering (as well as some fascinating people watching) then it’s worth the fee. Even despite the high price weekends can still get very busy so head there early to guarantee getting an umbrella (or prebook). The beach is open from 08:00-21:00, although you can visit the restaurant until midnight
