"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. "
