Douni Island: The beach of Attica with the fluffy sand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Douni Island<\/strong> beach is what we call the nearby paradise next to Athens. A beach with crystal clear waters and fluffy fine sand.

There, you’re probably going to take your dives completely on your own. Whatever you choose, the sure thing is that swimming on this beach won’t disappoint you.\"Douni<\/picture><\/p>\n
