The sandy, well appointed beach at Zouberi is about 31 kilometers from the center of Athens between Nea Makri and Marathon. It’s long been one of my favourite spots for swimming as it’s not usually too crowded and the sea always seems inviting and crystal clear. It's also got some great cafés and a wonderful taverna that serves crispy 'kalamarakia' (fried squid) and a perfect Greek salad...who could ask for more?
Zouberi is quite a long beach and is kind of divided into parts by the taverna. To the left is a hotel and a few houses, and to the right are the cafés and beach bars. If you walk up to the far right end of the beach, you’ll come across a beachcombers hut that is the home of the Treasure Divers dive school.
Scuba diving has really taken off in Greece over the last five years as until 2006, the Greek Government attempted to protect unsalvaged undersea archaeological sites by limiting diving to a few approved areas. After a lot of underwater archaeological research, there are now only 30 areas where diving is prohibited, and luckily, Zouberi is not one of them.
