Perama Beaches

Visitors looking for a beach holiday in Perama will quickly discover the area is a major industrial port, not a typical seaside resort. For swimming and sunbathing, you’ll need to travel a short distance. The two main choices offer distinct experiences: the nearby island of Salamis, a quick ferry ride away, provides a local Greek island feel, while the famous Athens Riviera presents a more cosmopolitan and organized beach scene.

The Athens Riviera, stretching down the coast from Athens, is home to some of the region's most celebrated beaches. For a luxurious day by the sea, the renowned Astir Beach is a top destination offering high-end services. Families often prefer the shallow waters and ample amenities of Paralia Varkiza, making for a relaxed day out. For those seeking a more dramatic landscape, the stunning, clear waters of Kape Beach offer a Greek island-like escape that is well worth the drive.

For an experience favored by locals, the short ferry to Salamis island is the most popular option, offering a variety of more rustic beaches. Back on the mainland, Votsalakia Beach in Piraeus is where area residents go for a convenient swim with an authentic urban vibe. Whether you prefer an organized resort or a simple pebbled cove, you can find more details on these and many other coastal spots in our complete beach guide.
