Akrogiali (Ακρογιάλι)
It is finally possible to dive into the long-awaited turquoise sea on a nearby beach and settle down in a tavern by the water itself to recover the flavour of cool homemade wine, which is used to drink fried squid, grilled octopuses and rustic Greek salad with feta.

Παραλία Λίμνη Βουλιαγμένης
Short photo stop by the thermal radon lake. And if you went on a trip in the cold season, bathing on the beach at Cape Sounion, will be a pleasant substitute for swimming in the lake, whose water temperature throughout the year is kept at around 20-22 degrees.

The Stanley
You can also choose a hotel at the foot of the Acropolis. But don't forget that you have to park your car overnight. In addition, the historic center of Athens is gradually becoming a large pedestrian zone, and many streets simply cannot be accessed by the car now. Therefore, I suggest you book a hotel with your own parking in the center as well, but a little further. Check-in, dinner in a nearby tavern, and rest.
