Megalo Kavouri, which means big crab, is one of the two main beaches in the coastal town of Vouliagmeni—the second beach is called Mikro Kavouri—and both are consistently awarded the EU blue flags for environmental excellence. The beach is a popular choice for swimming and water activities in the large shallow cove, as well as sunbathing and beach volleyball and other sports on the wide stretch of sand. The roads near the beach are lined with palm trees, providing welcome shade in the hot summer months. With beach facilities that rent lounge chairs and umbrellas, and restaurants, cafes, and fish taverns that serve local Greek cuisine located nearby, it’s easy to make a day of it. To explore further along the riviera, join a TRIKKE (electric tricycle) tour to zip down the coastline and take in its highlights without getting footsore.
