Athens is a city on the sea. The Riviera runs south from Glyfada to Sounio, and the tram and buses reach much of it. Prices quoted are summer 2026 figures from the sources named, and many places close or change hours in winter.
How to read this list. 22 places, grouped by area. Listed by shows which reputable guides recommend each place: that is our measure of popularity. We do not copy star ratings or opening hours from Google or Tripadvisor; the buttons open them live. Price bands appear only where a source gives one. Every entry was checked against its sources; the date each source was read, between 4 and 9 Oct 2026, is in the entry's Sources list. Places close and move, so tell us if something has changed.

How we check reviews. Reviews on Heart Athens are written by registered users. We do not check whether a reviewer actually visited or bought from the place, so reviews are not verified as coming from customers. Before publishing, we check every review for spam, links, personal data and breaches of our rules, and we remove reviews we find to be fake or paid for. Businesses cannot pay to remove or reorder reviews. Reviews are shown newest first. For now, reviews arrive by email and are moderated before they appear. How reviews work.
Lists compiled by Heart Athens from the guides named on each entry. Nobody has paid to be listed.
