Lagonissi is one of the jewels of the Athenian Riviera – a finger of land stretching into the sapphire waters of the Saronic Gulf. Grand Resort Lagonissi occupies almost the entire peninsula, wrapped in pine trees, lawns and low-rise villas. You get the privacy and seclusion of an island escape, yet you’re still close enough to explore cosmopolitan Glyfada, the Cape Sounion temples or Athens’ iconic Acropolis on a day trip. The small resort centre of Lagonissi, with its local bars and tavernas, is an easy stroll away.

• Beachfront setting with direct access to the sea
• 650m from Lagonissi resort centre
• Easy access by road to Glyfada and Sounion (local taxis/excursions)

Approx. transfer time from airport: 40 minutes

Dining is a real highlight at Grand Resort Lagonissi. Start your day at Aphrodite Restaurant, the main buffet venue, with generous breakfasts and live show-cooking stations in an elegant setting (open roughly late April to late October; smart resort wear requested, no beachwear).

In the evenings, you can dine your way around the peninsula:

• Captain’s House – Atmospheric à la carte dinner spot for refined local Greek cuisine (seasonal, smart dress; reservations recommended).
• Galazia Akti – Romantic à la carte restaurant right on the beach, perfect for balmy evenings with the sound of the waves (seasonal).
• Kohylia Restaurant – Japanese-inspired dishes and Asian fusion flavours in a chic, over-water style setting (seasonal; dinner only).
• La Piscina – Poolside à la carte for relaxed international snacks and light bites through the day (seasonal).
• Mediterraneo – Beachfront Greek restaurant serving leisurely lunches; kids’ menus and highchairs are available.
• Ouzeri – Traditional Greek taverna feel with meze, grilled specialities and a laid-back terrace; ideal for sunset dinners.

Drinks and social time centre around the Veranda Lobby Bar, open late into the night for cocktails, coffees and light snacks, with a dress code that keeps the ambience refined.

Facilities, opening dates, dress codes and reservation policies can vary by season and board basis. Always check the latest information on arrival.

The resort unfolds around one main outdoor freshwater pool, framed by loungers, parasols and landscaped gardens. It’s an easy-going space for an afternoon dip or a lazy poolside lunch, with towel service included.

The real magic, though, is at the water’s edge. Thanks to its peninsula setting, Grand Resort Lagonissi offers direct access to several small beaches and rocky coves, some more secluded than others. The sea here is typically calm and clear, ideal for a morning swim or paddle.

A range of water sports is available via an external provider (local charges apply), including canoeing, kayaking, pedalos, windsurfing, snorkelling, motorised options and even scuba diving for those keen to explore beneath the surface. Opening dates and availability can vary by season and weather.

Wellness takes centre stage here. The resort features an air-conditioned gym with cardio machines, weights and a stretching zone (typically open 07:00–22:00 in season), so it’s easy to keep your routine going. You’ll also find fitness activities such as pilates, yoga and basketball, plus tennis courts for a more energetic hit-out (some activities may carry a local charge).

At the spa (open roughly late April to late October), you can unwind in the sauna and steam room or choose from a menu of massages and treatments, all at extra cost. This is the place for proper switch-off time after a day exploring Athens or relaxing on the beach.

Families are well catered for too, with three restaurants offering children’s menus and highchairs, a children’s club (4–12 years) with arts and crafts, team games, sports and story time (seasonal, daytime hours and operation depend on occupancy), plus a playground with slides and swings.

Practical extras include a 24-hour reception and concierge, luggage storage, and wheelchair hire (subject to availability), alongside little touches like towelling services that help everything run smoothly. Information, opening hours and inclusions can vary by season.
