Lake Vouliagmeni

Our first stop after 25 minutes of driving will be the unique Lake of Vouliagmeni. It is one of the most impressive natural attractions of Athens, but also of the world and has been ranked among the top 10 attractions of Greece according to Forbes. Here we will enjoy our traditional Greek coffee. Until we get there we will drive along the idyllic coastal road, full of palm trees and beautiful beaches. Limni is the hidden jewel of the Athenian Riviera. It is a Natura 2000 site and the Ministry of Culture has declared it as a place of Special Natural Beauty. Since ancient times, it has been known for its healing properties and is the only healing lake in Attica. You will be in front of a rare geological phenomenon that gives peace away from the noisy Athena. We will talk to you about the myths from the time of the second world war and the contemporary studies about its unique biodiversity.
