Athens is undoubtedly a vibrant city with a wide range of sporting activities to suit every one. From water-skiing to scuba diving, from horseback riding to rowing, sailing and water polo, from skiing in centres within easy reach, to tennis, fishing and mountaineering, even the most demanding visitor will find sporting entertainment in Athens. The modern Olympic Stadium and the Peace & Friendship Stadium are used frequently for major Balkan and international events, as well as for national basket ball, and volley ball games. Very often there are special sports events taking place, like the open Marathon or the "Acropolis Rally" car race. The sea resort area of Glyfada offers four of country's best marinas, sandy beaches and a variety of water sports. The Glyfada beach is great for parents with children.

The Palmyra Beach Hotel is ideally located for guests who love to watch or participate in sports. Glyfada hosts a wide range of sporting activities to suit everyone. The 'Aghios Kosmas' complex welcomes participants, and is only 3 km. from the hotel, just opposite the old domestic airport. This complex can handle more than 1000 athletes, and features soccer fields, basketball courts, tennis courts and a small stadium with good running tracks. The complex borders on a beach handling some 3000 bathers, and has three open-air heated Olympic size swimming pools and a workout-gym.
