Known for its lively nightlife, organized market and beaches, Glyfada is the de facto capital of the Athenian Riviera and one of the most popular areas of Attica. While it combines mountain and sea, the sea is its dominant element, and it is no coincidence that many call it the “Miami of Greece”: its climate is warmer than the center of Athens, palm trees line most of its streets, where many locals fling themselves into skateboards, it has 2 marinas with impressive yachts, while most of its permanent residents are engaged in some kind of water sport.
