janetanne Says: Please don't get sick at AStir Beach...but if you do, don't worry too much...there is a very modern and clean First Aid room and Doctor on duty to assist you.
Have a Starbuck's and Laze away the Day at Astir
janetanne Says: Astir Beach has a Starbuck's coffee shop just for you. While you are drinking your coffee, you can lay on the luxury beach beds and just laze away the day! What better way to spend a hot summer day?
Visit the Temple of Apollo Zostor
janetanne Says: Pausanias believes that in this location Leto, who was pregnant by Zeus and chased by angry Hera, thinking that she was about to give birth to the twins brother and sister, Apollo and Artemis, loosened her gilt belt (zoster).The temple was founded in the 6th C. B.C. (Archaic...
janetanne Says: Once you get in, Astir Beach has a great Beach Bar and Restaurant. You can have your meal brought straight to your chair on the beach by the waiters and waitresses who gladly attend your hunger for something tasty to eat. Or, you can sit in the lovely beach side open air...
janetanne Says: If you really want to treat yourself to a very, very special beach experience, and if you can pay an extra amount for that special occasion, then by all means GO FOR IT! Going to the Astir Beach is like going to your favourite expensive restaurant. Maybe not an everyday...
janetanne Says: There are many beaches at Vouliameni. There are expensive pay beaches, (Astir Beach) and free beaches (all along the coast) There are rocky beaches and sandy beaches. The best all-round beach is the public 'Plaz.'The Public Plaz in Vouliagmeni is clean, has great chairs and...
Tattoo Hunting - Vouliagmeni Plaz Beach
janetanne Says: One of the best, if not THE best beaches along the Attiki coast, is the public 'Plaz' at Vouliagmeni. This is the public beach on the North shoreline of the Vouliagmeni Bay, just across from the Vouliagmeni main square.This beach is well organized, with very clean sand,...
Walk above the Lake at Vouliagmeni
janetanne Says: Everyday of the year, you will see local people walking along the footpath on the mountain above the Lake of Vouliagmeni. People walk their dogs here, or just go for exercise. If you look carefully, you may see one of many 'Perdika' birds that have been released here by...
janetanne Says: Before you guys start thinking about something in a bikini, let me clarify that the 'bird' that one should look for in the general vicinity of Attiki, but more specifically at the lake of Vouliagmeni, is a very brightly coloured Greek 'Kingfisher.' This little bird was well...
Vouliagmeni Lake Year Round Swimming
janetanne Says: Even if you just bask in the sun or sleep in a lounge chair, the peacefullness of this place is difficult to beat. Best in early Spring and late Fall or when the sea is too rough and windy to swim. Perfect for those who suffer from arthritis or psoriasis or for those who...

Loizidis' Taverna Vouliagmeni: By Far the Best and Most Authentic
janetanne Says: If you want to know which restaurant or 'taverna' in Greece is the best, just look for the most crowded one with Greek customers! Loizidis Taverna in the main square of Vouliagmeni has been for years THE place for locals to have a real Greek lunch or dinner. The covered...
There is a restaraunt at the lake.
Kodi01 Says: I did not eat at the restaraunt because we were on a mission to get to Soniou. Maybe next time we will eat there.

This is one of the most popular seaside Cafe-Bar-Restaurants along the Attiki Coast. You will find this excellently located gathering place packed by mid-Sunday afternoon when the Athenians love to sit for hours drinking their capuchinos, frappes and fredos! Or, take your special partner for a cocktail any evening to watch the sunset and listen to the latetest popular music.
Dress Code: Any style, anytime, anyday! Athens is a city without boundaries!

A small row of seasonal boutique shops exist at the Astir Beach Complex. When you get bored of sitting in the sun, be sure to bring some extra shopping money to spend on things you forgot you needed! The only drawback of these shops is that you must pay the entrance fee to the beach in order to have access to these shops...no coming back the next day just to purchase that cute little bikini you saw without paying that extra surcharge at the gate!
What to buy: These small shops provide an array of various goods, fashion and sports wear as well as sport equipment. You can find bikinis, swimming accessories such as caps, goggles, flippers, hats, bags, mats and jewelery.
One shop even sells top of the line, fold-up bikes!
What to pay: Prices seemed to be average and even some bargins at the end of the summer season. Bikinis ranged from 30Euros up.

The most interesting, unique and perhaps controversial???tatoo I've ever seen, was the one touted by the Lifeguard at the beach in Vouliagmeni. On his entire back, stretching from just beneath his neck, going down to just above his waist and extending vertically from one shoulder to the other, was a very large tatoo of Christ on the Cross. The irony of this picture were the words on the back of his shorts which read, 'Lifeguard.' Was it just a coincidence? No doubt this young man is a devout believer in the power of the 'icon' on his back. I wonder what Christodoulos would think of this display? Oh well, to each his own! I just hope that in the event of a person in distress upon the sea, that his (the lifeguard) 'actions would speak louder than his words!'

If you should come on holiday to Greece in February, be sure to bring winter clothes. If you plan on driving, be prepared for snow. You must have chains for your car's tires and driving in the snow in Greece is not like driving in other winterized countries. Drivers here are not used to these conditions and so you would be better off just staying inside and keeping warm in front of a burning fireplace with some Tsipouro and a juicy steak!

janetanne Says: Click on the photos to enlarge the picture of this very small and elusive bird, the Kingfisher of Vouliagmeni Lake, Athens.
Watch the waves- Walk away your worries!
janetanne Says: Even in the winter, when few are brave or hardy enough to venture into the colder Mediterranean waters, just taking a walk along the coast line can warm your spirit and bring joy to your day. There are so many places, that it would fill these pages if I started to describe...

Fondest memory: It was a surprise to find people swimming in winter months.........it is a place where you need to be careful because the lake has many caves that lead to the ocean or may not go there..so there are orange floating cones that will let you know not to go further.....MANY adventourous people have died here and not made it to the sea.....

Of Course I'm Prejudice. I live here! I've lived here since 1990, but the first beach I ever swam at in Greece was here in 1978. So, can you blame me for being partial? Why do I say this is the best...
