Arriving into Athens International Airport puts you just a short ride from the charming coastal suburb of Ilioupoli. With its prime location between the capital city and idyllic Greek beaches, Ilioupoli makes the perfect base for your Greek getaway. Hiring a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike is the best way to explore this seaside gem and surrounding attractions. Ilioupoli’s palm-lined beachfront promenade buzzes with cafes, tavernas and beach clubs. Stop for a frappe or fresh seafood with a view of the Saronic Gulf. Then hop back on your rental motorbike and head south along the coast to Vouliagmeni Lake. The volcanic lake is renowned for its therapeutic mineral waters. Take a dip or stroll the perimeter path before continuing to Cape Sounion. The imposing Temple of Poseidon perches dramatically atop cliffs overlooking endless Aegean blue. Back in Ilioupoli, meander the pedestrian streets and lively plateia squares. Pop into tucked-away churches adorned with Byzantine frescoes. Wander through the open-air Ilioupoli Market for fresh produce, regional delicacies and handmade crafts. As the day winds down, cruise the seaside on your motorbike and watch the sun sink into the sea at one of the chic beach bars. Just 20 minutes from central Athens, Ilioupoli provides easy access to the capital’s iconic sites like the Acropolis and Plaka district. Or venture inland on your rented wheels to the monasteries of Mount Penteli. Wherever your Greek odyssey takes you, Ilioupoli’s central location and Mediterranean charms make it the perfect hub for your Hellenic holiday.
