Villa with a heated pool on the Athens Riviera

A villa all to yourself, with its own pool: the dream, as long as the water is heated. Heating is sometimes extra, and I say so on each listing. On the Athens Riviera, between Glyfada and Lagonissi, the sea is close by, but a heated pool extends the season. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria on the Athens Riviera: Indoor pool villa Lagonisi 4-BDRM near the beach.

Guide's tip. A big villa for a family or group: ask the host whether pool heating is included in the price.

Fancy hot water? The hot tubs

These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.

The hot tub. Large private outdoor pool (not advertised as heated) and a private jacuzzi in a spacious garden, at a four-bedroom villa (sleeps up to 10).

The pool comes up in 11 guest reviews. The listing doesn't say whether the water is heated.

Guide's tip. For a warm dip outside summer, count on the jacuzzi rather than the pool: ask whether it's heated year-round.

Confirmed by a reviewer

The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.

Places I left out

I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
