Vouliagmeni Hotels

For all the monuments however, there is also monumental sprawl. When the ugly side of Athens comes to the fore - traffic, smog, oppressive summer heat, spotty infrastructure and construction – those who can do so escape to Vouliagmeni. The coastal suburb is a mere 20 km from Athens but has a countenance that suggests the Cyclades. From seaside nightclubs and restaurants, to ritzy spa resorts and marina yachts, Vouliagmeni is a handsome island escape from the city without the island. Fortuitous geography of course, plays a vital role in the municipality’s allure. Vouliagmeni, after all, sits on the foothills of Mount Hymettus and rolls out a Blue Flag-calibre sandy coastline. The desirable necklace of beachfront is the suburb’s primary magnet, although the fashionable summer nightlife throngs suggest otherwise. Whatever the case, Vouliagmeni is a superb day trip from Athens and certainly fills in nicely as a tranquil gateway to the phenomenal Greek capital.
