Warm beach town a day trip from Athens for swimming in later October?

Hi, Our cruise ends Oct. 19 in Athens very early in the morning. We are looking to unwind on a beach, but hopefully in a town with shops and restaurants but not too busy or trendy and not too far from Athens. It's the end of season so we don't want a ghost town? Most likely won't rent a car but I guess we could? We want to check out Athens as well but mainly I'm sure we will be ready to relax after being on the go in all the ports of call. Thinking of taking bus to Nafplion? Or ferry to Aegina? We will probably have about 5 days till we need to come back to Athens to catch our return flight. Within that 5 days we'd like to see some of Athens too. Not sure if we should see Athens first for 1 or 2 nights and then head out to a beach town or vice versa? Thank you for any advice...We are basically seeking the warmest area but I know late October the weather changes.

Nafplion would be a great choice. Pretty town and lots to see and do if weather doesn’t co-operate for beaching.
