Vouliagmeni
Avra Bar.
The Four Seasons’ waterfront bar on the Riviera, with cocktails designed to match the sea.
The signature cocktail bar and lounge of Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, sitting directly on the waterfront in Vouliagméni. Bar manager Nikos Tachmazis writes a Mediterranean-influenced seasonal cocktail menu divided into four chapters. In 2026 the bar launched its third edition menu with a new Senses and Blossom chapter.
Avra sits at the water’s edge on the grounds of the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens in Vouliagméni, 25 kilometres south of the city centre along the Saronic coastline. The bar faces the sea directly, with the Attica peninsula stretching away in both directions. It is the kind of setting that could coast on atmosphere alone — which makes the cocktail programme worth noting.
Bar manager Nikos Tachmazis structures the drinks list into four chapters, a format that encourages moving through the menu. In June 2026, Avra launched its third edition menu introducing sections called Blossom and Senses, built around fresh peach and alyssum blossom, mint-infused aged rum, and Mediterranean botanical combinations. The Four Seasons kitchen backs the bar with elevated snacks, and the bar has become a regular destination for visiting bartenders during industry events at the hotel.
Drive 40 minutes south. Sit at the water. Order something with local botanicals and watch the sea go flat.
Vouliagméni is a 30-to-40-minute drive from central Athens depending on traffic, placing Avra firmly in the category of intentional destination. The Athens Riviera has been developing steadily over the past decade, and Avra operates as one of its anchor drinking destinations — a Four Seasons bar with genuine cocktail credentials rather than just a hotel amenity.
