Holidays to Glyfada offer a lively beach scene, easy urban daytrips and a nightlife that can be thrilling, laidback or anything in between.
Sitting just south of greater Athens – Greece's capital city – Glyfada puts water sports and beach life squarely in the spotlight. But there's much more to see in this seaside suburb than the waves. From boutiques and perfumeries to armfuls of traditional restaurants, the hardest thing about Glyfada's choosing what to do.
Glyfada's a locale that delivers night and day. Brush up on your contemporary art at the Blender Gallery, or get a taste for architecture at the Church of Agios Nikolaos. Top it off with dinner on the waterfront, where some of the biggest and best nightclubs in Attica pump things up after the sun goes down.
Glyfada Beach is a beloved local favourite. The long stretch of soft sand and warm blue waters is perfect for lounging – and for upping your pulse on one of the jet-skis buzzing around the bay. Animal lovers can visit the nearby turtle sanctuary for a close-up look at the hard-shelled critters.
A convenient one hour's train ride away, Glyfada's well-situated for daytrips to Athens. Hit glitzy boutiques or traditional local markets in this bustling city of history, where you can sightsee ancient landmarks and be back in time for dinner with an ocean view.
