Glyfada Holiday Packages

Glyfada Holiday Packages

Glyfada, Greece, is where you go when you want to get away from it all—but not too far away.

Situated 13 km south of downtown Athens, the suburb is home to many of Greece’s politicians, millionaires and celebrities, earning it the nickname of “The Athens Riviera”. Holidays in Glyfada give you the best of both worlds: all the big-city perks, with the look and feel of a resort getaway.

Things to Do in Glyfada

Glyfada holidays are all about luxury, from the beach to the spa and out on the open water. If all you need is the sound of the ocean waves, take a walk down to Glyfada Beach, pick out the best cabana and let the sea breezes take you away. If you prefer to get some indoor R&R, finding a spa for a manicure or massage is definitely “knot” a problem in this cosmopolitan area. Once you’re feeling great, “seas” the day with a yacht or sailboat charter from Glyfada Marina.

While you may never want to leave, booking one of Wotif’s car hire options in Glyfada means you can use the city as a home base to explore Athens’ iconic attractions. Discovering timeless landmarks like the Parthenon certainly won’t “ruin” your holiday. Take a day trip (or two!), or plan an overnight and put our Athens holiday packages to use. The resort will be there when you get back!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Thanks to its rich and famous residents, shopping is one of the main reasons for visiting Glyfada. Dream of any high-end designer label and you’ll most likely find it here (and perhaps a celebrity sighting to boot!): just make your way to Grigoriou Labraki Street near the marina. If you just want to see and be seen (without dropping any cash!), dine alfresco near the marina and play “I Spy” with all those designer bags.

Even the beautiful people need to eat, and Glyfada serves up Greek food galore, plus cutting-edge, celebrity chef fare, so you can find everything from loukoumades (honey dumplings) to molecular gastronomy. Feel free to get revolutionary, but don’t forget the classics: Your Glyfada holiday simply won’t be complete until you take the oppor-tuna-ty to try some of the freshest seafood in Greece.

The clubs here won’t start jumping until at least midnight, so take the chance to tour the local libations before you head out. The only question you’ll need to answer is, white or red? Once you’re buzzin’, the nightlife should be, too. Walk along the waterfront to find live music, laid-back bars and lounges with DJs spinning futuristic tunes. Dance on the beach all night, then sleep on it all day—with Glyfada packages, you never have to leave the surfside.

What’s Next?

Your holiday self wants you to trade your office chair for a sandy stretch of beach and a hammock. All you have to do is search Wotif’s Glyfada deals and find your dream escape. Point and click, then step away from the screen. You’re going to need to work on that base tan.
