Althea Beach

Althea Beach is a small yet popular coastal area located in the vicinity of Agia Marina and Agios Dimitrios in the city of Athens, Greece. It is characterized by its smooth sandy surface, which is occasionally interspersed with pebbles, and the clear, calm waters that surround it. The beach is somewhat secluded due to a staircase that provides the only access to it which, in combination with the serene environment it offers, contributes to its appeal. Despite being considered unorganized, the beach is well-regarded for its natural beauty. It features a picturesque vegetated background and offers a captivating view of the small islet of Duni. The lack of tourist facilities on the beach itself does not deter visitors, and it remains a favored destination among single travelers, couples, and naturists. During the summer months, Althea Beach tends to get crowded due to its popularity among both locals and tourists. It is therefore advised to arrive early in the day to secure a spot. Despite its size, the beach can accommodate a significant number of visitors. As for amenities, there is limited free parking available for those who choose to visit. The beach's location near Athens makes it easy to find and a convenient choice for those seeking a quick getaway. This convenience, coupled with its natural charm, often leads visitors to return to Althea Beach multiple times.
