Ride the tram straight to Akti Iliou and trade the city for a few hours of sand and sea. Claim a sunbed under a parasol, swim, and order drinks brought to you on the beach.
Full description
Akti Iliou is an organized sandy beach on the Athens coast whose main practical asset is that the tram runs almost to the water's edge, making it one of the easier sea escapes from the city. Free entry sits alongside paid sunbeds with parasols, and several beach bars serve a similar menu directly to your lounger.
Reviews describe a clean, tidy setting with well-kept toilets, though prices for loungers, food and drinks draw complaints, and the music and service split opinion. Plan on a long, relaxed stay of around three hours.

Reviews
A beautiful, clean, and well-organized beach with a relaxing atmosphere. However, the prices for sunbeds, food, and drinks are quite overpriced. More reasonable prices would make the experience even better.
