The stretch of coastline this tour follows south of Athens, often marketed today as the "Athens Riviera" or "Athenian Riviera," isn't an ancient route but a modern one. The idea of developing this coastal road as a resort strip dates to the 1920s and really took off in the 1950s, when Greek and international press began describing the area as a "new Côte d'Azur," drawing Athenians and, later, international visitors to towns such as Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, and Lagonisi that had been quiet fishing villages before.
Glyfada, one of the first stops along this route, has a much older identity underneath its modern beach-town surface — in antiquity it was the deme of Aixone, one of the local districts of ancient Attica, long before it became the shopping and dining district it's known as today.
Vouliagmeni, further along, is built around a genuine geological curiosity as much as its beaches. Lake Vouliagmeni was originally an underground cavern, and around 320 BC its roof collapsed under erosion from hot springs and seawater, creating the sunken, spring-fed lake that still sits there today, with water held at a near-constant 24°C (about 75°F) year-round by underground currents.
The route ends where the Attic coastline runs out, at Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, the ancient landmark that for centuries marked the southern edge of Athenian territory for anyone sailing past. Rather than treating Sounion as the whole point of the day, this route treats it as the destination at the end of a longer look at how this coastline has actually been used and developed, from antiquity through the resort boom of the mid-20th century.
