Athens beach tours in Varkiza & Vouliagmeni Lake by Scooter, Atv or Buggy
Activity Description
First Stop Is To Varkiza Beach:
Varkiza Athens: The sandy beach of Varkiza is pretty far from the city center but you are guaranteed a pleasant trip. It is one of the less crowded beaches with all the beach facilities like volley courts, snack bars, and a play area for the children. The beach is easily reachable by bus, directly from the town center. The town of Varkiza is one of the most popular areas in the southern suburbs, quite lively during the summer season. It is extremely developed with plenty of cafes and nice restaurants lying around the coast. The biggest part of Varkiza includes beautiful complexes and newly built villas with a terrific view of the sea. It is a nice trip for most of the Athenians, especially during the weekends.
After the swimming, we drive for 20 minutes on a dirt road.
Dirt Road Drive:
After a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of Athens’ coastal paradise, venture into an exhilarating off-road adventure. Hop on your rented moto and embark on a 20-minute thrilling drive along a dirt road, immersing yourself in the untouched natural beauty of the surrounding landscapes. Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled experience like no other!
Second stop at Vouliagmeni Lake (optional entrance 8€):
The Lake is about 50 centimeters above sea level and so it is constantly overflowing and being replenished by the hot springs beneath it. The composition of the lake is brackish and full of such minerals as potassium, natrium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, ferrum, chloride, and iodine, and is slightly radioactive (the good kind, I guess). These minerals are known for giving relief to bone and muscle problems as well as those listed above. The lake is recognized as a wonder of nature because of its unique appearance and the surroundings. Scientific research and studies have discovered that millions of years ago, where the lake is now, there was once a large cave with a large number of hot springs. Eventually, the high temperature and moisture of these springs caused the roof to collapse. The underwater cave at the edge of the lake has never been fully explored. Among the 14 tunnels which make up the cave, there is one which at 800 meters is the longest in the world.
