Limanakia Vouliagmeni's
Continuing on the way to Varkiza, after the lake of Vouliagmeni, the rocks form on the coastline small natural coves with beaches that have turquoise waters. These coves with sea-beaten and wind-eaten rocks with minimal vegetation from small shrubs are the famous Limanakia (small Ports), which are particularly dear to the Athenians.
The area is formed by rocky soils that sink relatively steeply into the waters of the sea and form beautiful picturesque small coves.
The area belongs to the freed diving sites and most diving learning schools in Athens are active there. The ports become, especially in the summer, a gathering place for hundreds of swimmers, divers and snorkelers.
A dip in the ports of Mystral in Varkiza leaves satisfied and the most demanding divers.
Life here is rich. In the openings of the rocks hide dragons, while octopuses, sparrowheads and sars frequent the area.
But the most famous spot in the ports is the Devil's Well. It is in the second port of Vouliagmeni and it is an underwater well. There, at a depth of 11 meters, there is a hole 3 meters in diameter. At the end of the well there are protective railings that prohibit the entry of divers into the underwater cave.
Its position is marked by a red buoy tied with rope to the bottom of the sea.
A small canteen serves the needs of guests, which late at night is converted into an outdoor romantic Bar.
Limanakia with their wild beauty are a destination for young people but also for divers who want to explore the sea wealth of their seabed.

Vouliagmeni Lake
Vouliagmeni Lake, in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, is the hidden treasure of Attica’s nature. Situated on an idyllic landscape, this rare geological phenomenon is waiting to be discovered. The lake’s brackish waters which are continuously replenished both by the sea and the underground thermal springs offer a natural and unique thermal spa experience.
The imposing rock, thermal waters, the labyrinthine underwater tunnels and the lush vegetation create a unique geological phenomenon. The lake’s present form was created after the roof of the cave fell because of erosion caused by the high temperature of the running water running. The lake is included in Greece’s national NATURA 2000 network and as a Site of Outstanding Natural Beauty by the Ministry of Culture.
The labyrinthine cave.
At the edge of the lake, near the rocks, starts a labyrinth underwater cave which has been explored at a length of 3,123 metres, while the cave’s end remains elusive. Among the 14 tunnels which make up the cave there is one reaching 800 metres in length the longest in the world. The discovery of a huge stalagmite in the cave has opened up new theories in the research for the formation of the Mediterranean.
The living world
The aquatic paradise of Vouliagmeni Lake hosts in its green waters a variety of unique organisms. Among them, a kind of sea anemone called Paranemonia Vouliagmeniensis stands out, as well as species of sponges and molluscs which portray the perfect balance of the lake’s ecosystem. Its aquatic world also includes the known fish Garra Rufa which offer skin exfoliation.
The description is from the Vouliagmeni's Lake website
