One of the best places to swim in all of
Attika are the coves at Varkiza. Great snorkling and if you going during the
week they are not too crowded.
During weekends and in the summer they are
packed. But you can usually find a rock to call your own. You can get here from Akadamias on the E22 or the 115,149 from Glyfada. From the Dafni metro station you can take the 171 which goes all the way to Varkiza.
