Sightseeing
one of the most elegant districts of Athens, Glyfáda stands out for its sandy palm-fringed beaches, its cosmopolitan clubs (where the pulse of the Athens nightlife beats), its polished hotels, boutiques and restaurants as well as its marinas, a much preferred yacht-mooring place for a getaway!

Extra tip: if you are a golf enthusiast you will be thrilled with the Glyfáda Golf Club, the city’s modern 18-hole course!
