Glyfada Beach
Παραλία Γλυφάδας
One of the most popular long sandy beaches on the west coast, with fine golden sand and a cliff backdrop, well equipped for a full day of swimming.
Glyfada Beach is about 500 metres long, with fine sand, sunbeds, water sports and beach bars, and it is good for watching the sunset in the evening. It is about 16 km from the Old Town and served directly by the blue suburban bus. Summer weekends are crowded, and parking is tight. The west coast sometimes has big waves and rip currents, so pay attention to warning flags. Nearby Myrtiotissa is a natural small beach, reached by a downhill walk.
