Mylokopi: The "twin" exotic beach close to Athens

Mylokopi is a twin beach in the Corinthian Gulf that is less than two hours away from Athens and many compare it to a small tropical paradise. Its feature is the sand with fine pebbles, its blue-green waters, and the fact that it is surrounded by a pine forest. That’s what creates a unique scenery that you don’t want to leave. You can easily locate on Google Maps where the beach is and visit it as soon as you can.

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.
