When we think of Greek beaches, our minds often wander to the idyllic islands rather than the mainland. However, Attica's coastline, where the Greek capital resides, is dotted with beaches that cater to every taste.
According to the latest reports, Attica boasts 18 Blue Flag-awarded beaches, recognized for their high-quality waters and excellent facilities.
In Attica, you'll find both organized beaches with all amenities and secluded spots where you can lay your towel and enjoy a perfectly relaxing swim.
Naturally, some choices stand out more than others, as evidenced by Google reviews of these beaches.
After some research, iEidiseis discovered the highest-rated beach based on visitor reviews on Google.
Schinias Beach
Less than an hour from central Athens lies Schinias Beach, renowned for its golden sands stretching for miles. It's the longest beach in Attica, featuring both areas with beach bars and sun loungers, as well as more isolated spots.
It's no coincidence that Schinias Beach boasts the highest rating among Attica's beaches, with 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Annually, it is awarded the Blue Flag for its water quality and facilities, and it has even served as a backdrop for film shoots.
The Schinias forest is a lush pine forest that reaches the beach, forming the "Schinias National Park." This forest is one of Greece's largest pine forests and the area includes marshes, creating an important wetland habitat. Due to its significant ecological value, the broader area is designated as a national park and is part of the Natura 2000 network.
