The Neighborhood:
The area:
Paleo Faliro is an upscale coastal district situated on the east coast of Phalerum Bay, a bay of the Saronic Gulf. It is a coastal resort and residential town, famous in large part as the gateway to the Athens Riviera. It was once a seaside village of fishermen, shepherds, and farmers. Still present are turn-of-the-century mansions of wealthy Athenians who sought the beachfront. The town is minutes from Athens via several bus lines and the Athens tram.
Paleo Faliro is close to the highly desirable districts of Marina Flivos, Glyfada, and Vouliagmeni, favored for their vast shopping, leisure, and recreational choices. Glyfada is also a very popular beach town, perfect for families, children, and friends. It has a vast range of activities. You'll also find many nightclubs and bars lining the beach and coast.
The bustling commercial center of Paleo Faliro, the famous nighttime scene of Glyfada, the newly developed, luxurious Marina Flisvos - and easy access to public transportation - make Paleo Faliro the ultimate choice for a holiday in Athens. The area's most important cultural sites and popular beaches are all within easy reach from Paleo Faliro.
The town's tree-lined waterfront promenade and beach are a big attraction. There are numerous restaurants and cafes at Flisvos Marina. Also nearby is the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre. Possidonos Avenue is a scenic coastal road that stretches 60km from the Athens' port of Piraeus to the southernmost tip of Attica, and Cape Sounio.
