Astir Palace, Athens Riviera - Brochure

Welcome

ATHENIAN RIVIERA

Thirty five kilometers of seaside snapshots, created to relieve metropolitan Athens in a blend of sun, sea and relaxed observation of passersby.

It is called the Athenian Riviera and, even if the term borrows the glamour of the French Cote d’Azur, it is true; It is a star quality route, something like the Pacific Coast Highway in the US but smaller, very blue, with unrelenting sunlight, breathtaking cliffs and a final salvation, Poseidon’s temple in Sounio.

This is Attica’s pink diamond.

In the south of simmering Athens, there is a longish road that liberates the body and soul.

THE RESORT

A 75 –acre piny location in the heart of the Saronic Gulf, is meant to be the most magical destination for every traveler.

At this idyllic environment, the Astir Palace Resort is predominant. It is the place from which every voyage in the pleasure of senses and the contentment of your demands begins, offering you a more substantial and qualitative pause from the rhythms of everyday life where high quality service and upgraded supply service, constitute an establishment with a burglar-fire proof consistency for five consecutive decades.

The gorgeous Vouliagmeni peninsula, a hilly, wood promontory jutting into the sea, is the spectacular setting of the Astir Palace premier resort.

The resort includes Arion, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa and The Westin Athens.

Explore the endless recreational facilities and gourmet dining possibilities.

SIGHTSEEING

The rich cultural heritage and cosmopolitan life of Athens, as well as the unrivalled beauty of the Athenian Riviera, are all just a short distance from the Resort.

The Acropolis, Plaka and Lycabettus Hill are all on the agenda, but before venturing on a scenic drive to the city centre, there is history to uncover on the grounds.

The Vouliagmeni peninsula has been inhabited since antiquity, and treasures have been found on the Hill of the Muses on the Estate.

Near the Resort, there is another ancient secret; a mystical lake with hot springs; perfect for an evening swim.

From Pireaus with its authentic fish taverns and lively bars to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, the Attica Coast is generously gifted with a wondrous world of historical and natural phenomena.
