The historical city of Athens is located just a short drive from the Greek Coast overlooking the Aegean Sea. While many sightseers come to the city to view the Parthenon, the Temple of Zeus and the legendary Acropolis, some guests arrive in the city to experience the waves and sand of the area's beaches. Several hotels are scattered along the shoreline near Athens, affording visitors the convenience of city attractions and coastal relaxation.
Visitors to the Athens coast can experience luxury at the Divani Apollon Palace and Spa, awarded the five-star diamond award from The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. Recreation includes access to a private beach complete with umbrellas and a water sports activity center. Additionally, visitors can swim in each of three swimming pools, charter a boat at the nearby marina, or play a game of tennis or golf at the Glyfada Golf Course, located just two minutes from the hotel.
