Swimming Pools Indoor & Outdoor

Located at the GB Spa, the 65 sq. meters indoor pool area evokes the finest tranquil ambience.

Located on the 7 th floor, the 50 sq. meters outdoor pool provides a cool respite from Athens’ summer sun.

An infusion of Aegean hues and sleek design set a contemporary tone, that still manages to evoke the classic feeling of the ancient baths of Rome.

With picture-perfect backdrops of Lycabettus Hill, it’s hard to determine which is more gratifying: the refreshing water or the uplifting views.

Heated to the perfect temperature year round, the deep turquoise water of our indoor swimming pool reflects beautifully off of the white marble walls & flooring.

In the warmer months, the adjacent pool bar offers refreshing cocktails, fresh fruit juices & light dishes set amidst a profusion of fragrant flowers and cypress trees.

Open throughout the year.

Open from 1 May or earlier to 30 October.

Benaki Museum

The Maria Argyriadi donation is the core of the Department of Childhood, Toys and Games, which was founded in 1991. The collections include 20,000 toys, games and childhood items, from antiquity to 1970, originating not only from Greece and the broader Greek world, but from Europe, America, Africa and the East as well. The department’s primary aim is to document all aspects of the themes “childhood”, “game” and “toy”, by studying the history of toys in Greece and Europe, and children’s daily life in a traditional Greek context as well. The collection’s Greek section comprises infants’ and children’s toys spanning the classical, Roman, Byzantine and post-Byzantine periods.

They include hand-made traditional Greek toys dating from the 18th to the 20th century, articles from country festivals, 20th century commercial products, team sports, board games, and seasonal games. The European part of the collection comprises dolls and games of urban and rural manufacture dating from the 17th to the 20th century, mainly from England, France and Germany. There is also a selection of 19th and 20th century European regional costume dolls dressed in costumes from different parts of Greece.
