Athenian Riviera Hotel & Suites
many small areas are -hugging- the athenian riviera where you can find many beaches to swim, relax and taste great food by the sea. You are in Athens but also you have the feeling of being somewhere else maybe to a greek island. Summer in the city doesn’t sound that bad after all, does it?
