The itinerary starts from the hills and gathering spots of Argyroupoli, then heads down toward Elliniko and the transformations of the former airport. The second day is dedicated to Glyfada, among golf, shops, marina, and the seafront; the third follows the coast to Voula, Kavouri, and Lake Vouliagmeni. The days are designed to be done mostly on foot, by metro, tram, and bus, using a taxi when needed to save time. Opening hours, access to beach sections, and fees may vary by season: it’s worth checking them again before you leave.
