The City today
Vouliagmeni is the only really green suburb that is situated at the
beaches of
Saronikos.
Surrounded by hills that are full of pine trees and end to exquisite, sandy seashores
and the clear blue sea, it is a source of life and recreation for its citizens
and visitors.
The main goal of the Municipal Authority is the protection of the
natural beauty and the green areas of Vouliagmeni, so that its unique physiognomy
and excellent environment can be preserved. With the help of a systematic planning
the city is constantly enriched with parks, beautiful orchards, functional playgrounds,
pedestrian zones and contemporary infrastructures.
In the general framework of the undertaking of the Olympic Games and
in view of its natural milieu and the suitability of its infrastructures, Vouliagmeni
has been chosen to host two Olympic Games, the Triathlon and the Cycling - Individual
Timing.
The beaches
They begin at the sandy shores of Aghios Nikolaos of Pallon, they
continue towards the Megalo Kavouri, around the
Lemos
and the bay of central Vouliagmeni, and end to the Limanakia, the small gulfs
at the other side of the lake, at the timeless landscape of Attica, the Faskomilia
region.

have been awarded with the blue flag of the F.E.E.E. (Foundation for the Environmental
Education in Europe).
