Golf

Golfers can tee off just 12 km (10 miles) outside of Athens in the coastal town of Glyfada. Studded with 15,000 pine trees, and surrounded by vast blue seas, the challenging and tranquil course measures 6,776 yards for men and 5,634 for women. Par is 72. The ideal climate makes for favorable weather conditions. Facilities include comfortable changing rooms, restaurant, bar and a shop selling golf clubs and other equipment. A number of tour agencies offer a selection of golf tours combined with visits to the classical sites of Greece and the Greek islands. There is a Professional Golf Association (PGA) office at the site. For golf courses in other places in Greece go to VisitGreece.
