Free beaches in Attica
The weather has gone crazy, one day is cool and rainy and the next day is hot and dry. The temperature has already reached 40 degrees Celsius and a visit to a beach is more than necessary!
The coastline of Attica is filled with sandy beaches under private management, but also with municipal beaches, always with the appropriate fee.
But if you are one of those that you do not have 10 euro which you ought to give in order to dive into the sea, do not be disappointed, there is a solution! Fortunately, Attica has many beaches that are still free ... and partly untapped!
There are no tickets and any sun bed is free of charge!
