Mylokopi: The “twin” exotic beach close to Athens
Basically, we are talking about the small Mylokopi and the big Mylokopi. That’s why they call it a “twin” exotic beach. Besides the beautiful sandy beach that Mylokopi has (small and large), it also has a wonderful seabed. If you love exploring it, don’t forget to bring your mask with you and start discovering. Also, keep in mind that it is not an organized beach so you should have with you the essentials, mat, umbrella, and anything you may need to drink or eat. The sunset from Mylokopi is amazing so we suggest you have with you everything you may want.
If you want to eat something more formal, you can head to the nearby Lake Vouliagmeni Loutraki and your choice will more than satisfy you.
