The area

Living in Palaia Fokaia

Palaia Fokaia is the southernmost of our areas, about 50 km from central Athens on the coastal road to Sounion. It is a small town built around a fishing harbour, with tavernas on the waterfront and beaches on either side. It belongs to the Saronikos municipality.

Housing is mainly detached houses and maisonettes, many on large plots and many first built as summer homes, with a few small apartment buildings near the centre. Homes on the hills behind the town often have open views over the Saronic Gulf.

Daily life is local: a centre with shops, cafés and services, the harbour and the beach. For larger errands residents drive to Anavyssos or inland to Kalyvia. Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon are a short drive south.

Central Athens is roughly an hour by car. Palaia Fokaia suits buyers who want a quieter, simpler base by the sea, often a second home that becomes a main one.
