Discover Markopoulo & Porto Rafti — Your Seaside Guide
Beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, traditional Greek tavernas and scenic vineyards — the East Attica coast around our Porto Rafti apartment.
Why Porto Rafti?
The magical atmosphere of the Greek seaside, without leaving Attica.
Crystal-Clear Beaches
Avlaki, Erotospilia and Agia Marina — sandy coves with calm, clear water, all within a few minutes of the apartment.
Seaside Tavernas
Fresh fish, grilled octopus and local wine at traditional tavernas along the Porto Rafti waterfront.
Wineries & Vineyards
The Mesogeia vineyards around Markopoulo offer tastings, cellar tours and the region's famous wines.
Sun & Sea All Year
Long summers for swimming and sailing, and mild sunny winters for walks along the coast.
20 Minutes from the Airport
Athens International Airport is a short drive away — land, pick up your car and be at the beach in no time.
Harbour & Boat Trips
Sailing, fishing and summer boat trips leave from the Porto Rafti harbour, right around the bay.
Places to Explore
From the beach at your doorstep to the vineyards inland. Here are some of our favorites.
Avlaki Beach
A sheltered bay of turquoise water and soft sand, with sunbeds, beach bars and the NAKAL complex right on the shore — a short walk from the apartment.
Rafti Island
The islet that gives Porto Rafti its name, crowned by an ancient marble statue. Watch the sailboats glide past it from the waterfront, or join a boat trip around the bay.
Harbour & Seaside Chapel
Stroll the Porto Rafti promenade past the whitewashed seaside chapel, fishing boats and the tavernas that serve the day's catch with a view of the bay.
Markopoulo Wineries
The Mesogeia plain is one of Greece's oldest wine regions. Visit family-run wineries minutes from the coast and taste Savatiano, Retsina and modern Attica whites at the source.
Getting Around
By Car
Porto Rafti is about 20 minutes from Athens Airport and 40 minutes from the city centre via the Attiki Odos motorway. The apartment has convenient parking.
Public Transport
KTEL Attikis buses connect Porto Rafti with Markopoulo, the airport area and central Athens; the Koropi metro station is a short drive inland.
Day Trips
Drive down the coast to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, hop on a ferry from nearby Rafina or Lavrio to the Cyclades, or spend a day in Athens.
