Hotels in Vouliagmeni, Greece |
| Vouliagmeni is
an seaside municipality 20 km south of Athens. It sits on the southwestern
foot of the Hymettus mountain range. Vouliagmeni is bisected by a palm
tree lined boulevard, Athinas Avenue, which arrives from Athens as Vouliagmenis
Avenue, then runs parallel to the seashore and continues southwards. The
area east of the main road is a rocky slope of a foothill of Mount Hymettus,
and the bulk of the town is built there, along with the local elementary
school, post office, banks and town hall.
The western half, located between
Athinas Avenue and the sea, is covered with pine trees and consists of
two peninsulas, Megalo and Mikro Kavouri ("Big Crab" and "Little Crab")
that feature sandy and pebble beaches in between rocky shores, luxury hotels
(including the Astir Palace Hotel occupying most of Mikro Kavouri), the
local high school, the picturesque chapel of "St. George of the crab",
two marinas, an aquatic sports club (the "Nautical Club of Vouliagmeni",
see below), a sports club (football, basketball, volleyball, tennis) and
upscale restaurants, taverns and cafeterias on the waterfront. |
|
| The Mikro Kavouri is
connected to the mainland with a narrow, sandy isthmus commonly referred
to as "Laimos" (Lemós, i.e. the "Neck"), flanked by two public beaches.
The Megalo Kavouri is land largely owned by the Church of Greece, which
maintains an enclosed, protected pine forest and an orphanage. A small
air force camp is also located there. Dotted with lavish villas, the two
Kavouri areas are among the most expensive pieces of housing real estate
in Greece.
The Vouliagmeni beaches are consistently
awarded the coveted EU blue flags for environmental excellence. The triathlon
competition for the 2004 Summer Olympics took place in this area. The small,
rocky islet of Fleves lies off shore.
