What people say

"Swim in a thermal lake. One of the more unique tourist attractions in Athens is popular with locals too. Lake Vouliagmeni is a thermal ‘spa’ lake just 20 minutes drive from the city centre on the Athenian Riviera. It’s the best place to relax near Athens. The lake’s water stays at a constant temperature between 28 and 35 degrees centigrade, so it’s a pleasant place to swim. You can even get a free pedicure from the ‘doctor fish’ that you find in foot spas, which swim around in the shallows waiting to be fed! You can spend the whole day at Lake Vouliagmeni. It is on the pricey side though. Entry costs 19 euros but is a little cheaper on weekdays. Kids under 5 go free, and older kids pay 14 euros (17 on weekends). If you go via the City Sightseeing bus, you can show your bus ticket for discounted entry. There’s no requirement to hire one, but a sunbed or cabana for two costs 70 euros on a weekday or 90 euros at the weekend."
"This is a really neat little activity from Athens. It is helpful to make a reservation and book a ticket in advance. We had to stand in line for a bit to get in. It's a bit pricy for what it is, but we've never seen anything like it so we found it to be a neat and worthwhile experience. The water is really nice and you get used the spa fish nibbling at your feet! People go places and pay for that! It's a beautiful spot and you can pay for different levels of comfort as well. There are food and drinks on site as well but we didn't eat on site. "

Mentioned in these guides

This is a guide for Athens and Alimos Greece. If you are not familiar with Alimos (I wasn't either), it is a seaside town on the coast and is very close to Athens. It makes for a great city break from the heat of Athens. If you are heading to the Greek Islands for the summer it's very likely you'll pass through Athens. There is a wealth of things to do here. We've been a few times now and I still have things on my list that I'd like to see and do in future trips. This guide will cover all of the things that I have personally done, seen, and eaten in Athens. *Including a mini street food our that we personally created and did! It will also cover things I have researched that sound amazing and that I wish to do on future trips. Why Athens? Personally I find Athens to be an incredible city. Not everyone wants to spend time in Athens, but we really enjoyed Athens and found it had a lot to offer. There are lots of great things to do and see here and so much history. We have visited twice so this guide for Athens will include quite a bit. You can pick and choose what you would find most enjoyable for a day or two here at the beginning and possibly also the end of your trip. I am going to divide this Athens portion into 2 sections. The first will be for more of the heart of Athens and first timers or people who love all of the main and major things in the city. We also created our own mini street food tour here and that is included as well.   The second section is with a base in Alimos. This is likely for people who have already been to Athens and have seen all of the history and main sites. Or for people who just don't care and would rather beach and chill during their day or two in Athens.
