Figure 1.-- Kavouri is a coastal region located near to Athens, about 20 km from the city center. Around the sandy coast are many nice coves with free access, others with sand and others with small pebbles. Kavouri consists an excellent choice for swimming and sunbathing with nice beach facilities and plenty of cafes located right by the sea. The beach is great for beach games, like beach volleyball and other activities as you can see the children here are prepared to play. The photograph is dated June 1949. It looks like a school group of some kind.

Greece is a peninsular country in southeastern Europe with thousands of idelic islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Very popular in Greece for both familes and group visits are beach resorts and spas. Greece is known for its beaches. This incluses beaches from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos. On the previous page we see Loutraki (Λουτράκι), a beach-front resort on the Gulf of Corinth. Here we see Kavouri beach. Kavouri is a coastal region located near to Athens, about 20 km from the city center.

The beach is great for beach games, like beach volleyball and other activities as you can see the children here are prepared to play (figure 1). For most countries, beaches are for the most part distant attractions. Greece is, however, a peninsula set in the warm Agean/Ionian (Mediterrranean) waters. Thus there are virtually beaches located all along the coast, includiung some very close to the major cities like Athens. This inclues beaches with virtually no facilities, developed beaches as well as spa-like resorts. And there are also the many beautiful Agean/Ioanian islands with stunning white towns and deep blue seas. These of course except for the small local populations involved multi-day trips.
