A beach and history holiday in Athens

#beachlife For a place that takes it name from goddess Athena and is considered to be the birth place of democracy. You don't need me explaining why you should be visiting greece. I enjoy history and all things ancient. Thus, Athens has been a part of 3 of my holidays in the last decade. And when i say History, with Athens you are talking about 3000 years of it. But it also makes for an excellent beach destination..Especially for those seeking a respite from heat and history. Afterall it does boast some of the finest European beaches as with the rest of Greece. With limpid waters and some swish beach clubs offering umbrellas, loungers, and freshly caught seafood, you have plenty to do. Take Yabanaki Beach, for instance, located about 30 minutes from the city center in the upscale Varkiza suburb. It features beach clubs and water sports facilities along the Saronic Gulf. One of the best neighborhoods in Athens, Glyfada is a favored spot for city dwellers seeking a serene seaside escape, where you can take a refreshing dip or savor cocktails by the shore.#beachlife #ancient #athens #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel
