The road out of Athens opens onto salt-stiff air and the Athenian Riviera — coastal villas and beaches blurring past as the private car winds toward Vouliagmeni and beyond. At Lake Vouliagmeni the water steam-softens the light; cliffs shoulder the small thermal basin as photographers and day-trippers gather for quick, iconic frames.
