Practical tips

  • In summer, protect yourself from the sun and bring water: many seaside walks have little shade during the central hours of the day.
  • To get around between Alimos, Palaio Faliro, and Glyfada, check tram and bus times in real time and validate your ticket according to local instructions.
  • Check online the opening hours for the Georgios Averof museum ship and Lake Vouliagmeni: opening times, fares, and access conditions may change.
  • For organized beaches, ask about the entry price and the cost of sun loungers and umbrellas; some rates depend on the day and the time of year.
