I visited Athens for the first time in January this year, and actually spent the first three days on the coast in Glyfada. I found the coastal tram exceptionally easy to use, and it travels right from the centre of town. (Taking a bus from the airport to Glyfada, however, a much more terrifying affair for the non-Greek speaker ;))
