Glyfada

Today I went for a lovely walk to Glyfada.
Glyfada is a suburb of Athens, situated in the southern parts of the Athens Urban Area. The area, which is home to many of Greece's millionaires, ministers and celebrities, stretches from the foot of the Hymettus mountain to the Saronic Gulf. It is the largest of Athens southern suburbs. This fashion-conscious suburb is known in Greece for its upmarket cafes, well-known restaurants, boutiques and cosmopolitan summer clubs. Glyfada has also been called "Knightsbridge-on-Sea", "Hellenic Hamptons" or the "Beverly Hills of Greece".
On the quay at Glyfada is a rescue and rehabilitation centre for sea turtles, run by ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece. The staff there provide free educational tours of the facilities and treatments for visitors. (By Wikipedia)

Here are some pictures but first a small stop to Vouliagmeni:













Next stop at Ark, an amazing place in Glyfada with a variety of great food and drinks.
