Im going to Greece this summer and was curious what the best beaches in greece are? Preferably ones that would be easy to get to from Athens.
Greece is famous for its many islands which have tons of famous beaches, however, Athens is also home to a ton of great spots to cool off in the summer. Here are a few great spots:

- Glyfada Beach: Glyfada is a tram ride from the city center. It’s going to be a lot busier being so close to the city but it’s also big enough to be crowded. The water is crystal clear and it could be an easy choice to cool off in the summer.

- Edem Beach: Edem Beach is 7km from Athens’s center and accessible by the metro and trams. The beach area has restaurants, cafes, and showers nearby. 

- Sounio Beach: Sounio Beach is overlooked by the Temple of Poseidon and is a great beach to catch the sunset at. There is also a beach bar and Cabanas and umbrellas are available for rent so that you can lounge in the sun.

- Legrena Beach: Legrena Beach is a perfect beach to go to get lost and explore. It doesn’t have the organized umbrellas and structure of other beaches, making it an ideal place for peace and quiet.

- Aegina Island: Aegina Island is a short ferry ride from Athens and has tons of beaches. If you want a taste of island life and an island beach this is a great option.
