We weren’t sure about Astir beach after reading some of the poor reviews but were pleasantly surprised. It was a weekday in October so not that busy and the prices were not that much more expensive then some other beach clubs we looked at on the coast which were nowhere near as nice. Beautiful crystal clear clean shallow water perfect to swim, very comfortable beach beds, a nice restaurant and a water sports club too. Service was pretty good too. We had a lovely relaxing time and so glad we went.

I pre booked 2 umbrellas 4 sunbeds at a hefty price of €180 for our visit to Astir Beach. Once you book you receive a bar code and booking details by email. You have to present the code to the reception desk and they print the tickets. I don’t understand in this day and age of technology why they cannot scan the barcode on entry. We are arrived to the beach at 2pm, and I handed in my phone on which I had our barcode . There is an (always has been) very unwelcoming dark window with little holes through which to speak to the woman sitting behind it , you can barely see or hear her. It should have been a seamless process but it turned into a 30 minute stressful unpleasant process in which the unprofessional receptionist told me she could not locate my tickets so I could not enter the beach after paying €180 and presenting my barcode confirmation. I asked her to call for a concierge (a service offered with booked tickets) and she refused to do so. She held onto my mobile and I had to keep asking her to hand me back my phone which she would not do. To cut a very long and disturbing story short my husband bombarded his way through security and made his way into the beach to find the manager. When I finally got my mobile back, I went past security and saw a concierge and got her attention. After a short discussion with her and showing her my booking confirmation she guided us to our seats and said she would notify the manager about the incident. I told her I wanted to speak to the manager as well and asked her send him to us. We never saw a manager, never received an apology. Height of arrogance in a time when everyone needs to support local business. The beach was at half captivity and the service very poor. Beautiful beach and sea. As a local resident I have been going to Astir Beach for years and am disgusted with their cavalier behavior yesterday. I was told the beach is now run by the Four Seasons Athens, which is right next door. If that’s the case the Four Seasons needs to get its act together and bring Astir up to its high standards.

Beach is lovely especially during the week. The « privilege «  restaurant that operates the beach is not good and grossly overpriced. A vegetable fajita egg white sandwich costs 17 euros. The icing on the cake is the small bottles of Evian water that cost euro 3 each. No large bottles of water so with the heat you need at least 4 bottles to survive. Do yourself a favor go to a bakery load up on better food and drinks and enjoy your day at the beach so that you don’t end up frustrated and feeling ripped off

We nearly didn’t go to this based on all the poor reviews, but it was exactly as we would expect from a beach club. Yes, overpriced (we also went on a public holiday), but decent beach, service to the sun-beds was great and attentive (thanks Christos), the food was ok and it had some good music. As long as you aren’t on a budget and you book the right end of the beach ( privilege 18+ only) certainly give it a go!

Astir Beach is a pleasant and peaceful beach experience where the waters are cool and the sun and sand are HOT! Reserving an umbrella or bed is an easy on line experience and recommended if you want to take the guess work out of a nicely maintained and more upscale beach club visit. We enjoyed watching the anchored yachts, and Heliport landings at the Four Seasons Hotel all within view from our front row ocean seats. When the restaurant is open and food and drink delivery is available to your chairs, you'll be happy that you made the choice to visit Astir Beach.

Beautiful beach club. Very nice area was pleasantly surprised. Service was wonderful and took care of us. While it is on the more expensive side if you are spending a day in the Rivera it is worth it to pay for it. Shopping, drinks, small bites, beach area with day beds and cabanas.

Really loved this beach club-visited twice during the week on vacation and thought the price was reasonable for the experience and beautiful beach. The price is double on the weekends and I don’t think I would pay that much, though. We ate at the beach club and really enjoyed the food. The service around the club is a bit snotty, but there are plenty of nice people as well. Overall would definitely return if I were to vacation here again.
