Map & location
Glyfada (Athens Coast), Greece
Emmantina Hotel sits just off the main coastal road in fashionable Glyfada, a seaside suburb of Athens known for its palm-lined promenades, trendy cafés and beach clubs. You’re only about 250m from the shingle beach and around 600m from the heart of the resort, where designer boutiques rub shoulders with pavement cafés and cocktail bars.
The Athens tram and local buses run along the coast, linking Glyfada with the city centre, so it’s easy to split your days between the Acropolis and the Aegean. Nearby Balux Seaside and other waterfront venues showcase the Riviera’s grown-up beach-bar scene, while Astir Beach and Vouliagmeni are an easy taxi ride away for VIP-style lounging.

Pool & outdoors
The star of the show is the rooftop freshwater pool, open seasonally (usually April–October), with a surrounding sunbathing terrace and loungers. From here you’ll enjoy panoramic views over the Athens Coast and the Saronic Gulf – particularly magical at sunset. Pool towels are provided free of charge, and inflatables are permitted, making it a fun and easy-going space to relax.
When you fancy the sea, stroll around 250m to the nearest public beach. Glyfada’s coastline strings together several organised beaches with sunbeds (local charge), beach bars and gentle entry into the water, ideal for laid-back swimming and people-watching.
