Porto Rafti Beaches

Porto Rafti is a charming seaside town that serves as both a perfect day trip from Athens and a fantastic base for a longer, more authentic Greek beach holiday. Its coastline, protected within a large bay, offers a diverse mix of sandy stretches and pebbly coves, all with the clear, swimmable waters the Aegean is famous for. This variety ensures that whether you're looking for a family-friendly shore or a quiet spot to lay your towel, you can find it here, all wrapped in a relaxed, local atmosphere that feels a world away from the city buzz.

Among the local favorites, you'll find a beach for every mood. For a full-service day with every convenience, the popular and sandy Avlaki Beach is the top choice, celebrated for its clean, Blue Flag waters. Families and those seeking convenience often gather at Paralia Agios Spiridonas, the main town beach known for its calm, shallow waters. For a more dramatic and photogenic scene, the small, pebbly cove of Erotospilia Beach lives up to its romantic name, attracting a vibrant crowd to its beautiful shores.

Beyond the main bay, the wider Attica region offers even more coastal treasures. The iconic Kape Beach is widely considered one of the area's best and is well worth the scenic drive for a truly memorable escape. While Porto Rafti's most famous spots draw the summer crowds, the coastline is dotted with countless other options, from lively shores with beach bars to quieter, more secluded coves.
