Fodor's Expert Review Limanakia

A "limanakia" isn't so much a place as a description. It means "small cove" in Greek, and these litter the coast south of Lake Vouliagmeni. They are especially popular among young Athenians, who go to sprawl on the hot rocks, cool off in the water, and then party in the evening. One in particular has gained something of a cult following in the city, geared around a popular bar called Lefteris Canteen. This is where you'll find the beautiful people, jazzed on coffee and their own sense of youthful invulnerability. A short walk east is a nudist cove. Amenities: canteen; nothing but rocks. Best for: lazing; swimming; nudity.
