The Athens Riviera holidays

The Athens Riviera (or Athenian Riviera) refers to the beautiful peninsula of Attica that stretches to the south-east of Athens all the way down to the magnificent Temple of Poseidon, overlooking the Aegean Sea. This is actually the second coming for Athens Riviera holidays because the region first caught the eye of celebrities from Jackie O to Bridget Bardot in the 60s, when the moniker 'Athens Riviera' was first coined. After the glory years, the increased accessibility to Greece's islands saw the Athens Riviera rather fade from the scene. Until now, that is. Suddenly the region is back with a bang thanks to stylish revamps of iconic hotels and a slew of luxurious property openings. To enjoy this renaissance, either fly to Athens and head straight for this beautiful stretch of coast to holiday in the lap of luxury among the Mediterranean pines, or combine a stay on the Athens Riviera with time in the eponymous Greek capital (which is also enjoying a resurgence) as well.
