Near Elefsina (Eleusis) you will find some of the most beautiful beaches of Attica.

• Porto Germeno

Porto Germeno is about a 45 minute drive from Elefsina. It is a small fish village with many small and big beaches to choose from.  On the route of the mountain you will see the fortress of Aigosthena which was built in the 4thcentury BC by the Athenians.   If you prefer quietness make your visit on working days, as on weekends it becomes rather crowded.  After swimming, you can plan your dinner in a local fish restaurant or go to Villia a village with many traditional taverns, which is just a 15 minutes drive away

• Psatha

Psatha is one of the longest beaches in Attika, almost 2,5 km long.  It is a favorite swimming spot for the Athenians, due to the easy access from the National Road to Corinth, they always pay a visit on summer weekends.  So if you want peace and quiet go during the week days.   Apart from the many fish-restaurants you will also find many bars with lively music and chilled cocktails.  You can also go to Psatha by the Old National Road to Lamia through the pine woods of Mountain Pateras, and have an magnificent view of the Beach from the top!
