Great place to stay by the sea. Athens is only a 60 minute tram ride to Syntagma Square (centre) and the ticket cost 2.70E return!!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Glyfada is a stylish and vibrant suburb that has something for everyone. It is, however, an expensive area filled with designer shops and trendy restaurants and is well worth a visit. There are several beaches nearby for catching a bit of sun!

4/5 - Good

Richard

A lovely area in the Athenian suburbs which has an upmarket feel. Some lovely restaurants and places to get coffee and snacks. Good for shopping.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

If you go to Centro it is a nice place , Everybody goes to JJs but there are more bars and eateries in the area to try , It is worth walking around to try them

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Great restaurants, beach and fairly easy to get into Athens,(long tram ride or 20 mins taxi)

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

It's a nice area but a bit of a trek into the centre if you need to do it each day. Convenient if you need a break between ferries and airport for a couple of nights.
