RAFINA
Rafina is situated on the eastern coast of Attica, having a population of approximately 10,000 inhabitants. The region was established in the 1920’s by refugees from Anatolia after the end of the Greco-Turkish War, (1919-1922).
Its name is an anagram of the name of an ancient Greek city.
The visitor may find here a great variety of hotels, nightclubs and tavernas specializing in fried squid, (kalamarakia), and small fried fish.
There are ferries going to the Cyclades and Evia and during summer the picturesque harbor gets really busy. The long, sandy beach is ideal for swimming and relaxation.
