The reason for a hidden beach with an unknown prehistoric settlement. It’s the Marikes. A beautiful beach known mainly to the residents of Rafina. What is also worth knowing about this particular beach is that there was a prehistoric settlement next to it.

At a distance of 1.5 km from Rafina, Marikas beach spreads its sand to the bay at a length of 700 meters. The rocks that surround it, protect it from the south, but expose it to the north wind. It may be a beach that the residents of the area choose it a lot, but it is not considered a secret for the other residents of Attica.

What many do not know even if they have been there for a swim at some point, is that next to the beach is the Ascitario.
