Beaches in Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece, behind Athens. You can come here, of course, in order to see the ancient monuments, but many fly here to swim in the gentle waters of the warm Aegean Sea. Only here there is one trick: the best beaches of Thessaloniki are not located in the industrial city itself, but outside it - in the suburbs. Only here you can be sure of the purity of the surrounding nature. Therefore, we will go by bus or car to the best sandy beaches of Thessaloniki, or rather to the beaches near Thessaloniki.
Perea beach
This is one of the most popular beaches in the area. The beach is only 17 km away from Thessaloniki. It is located in the resort town of Perea. In the daytime, tourists and locals here sunbathe and swim, play beach volleyball, and in the evenings they participate in noisy parties..
The coast is sandy and the water is surprisingly clear. As for the infrastructure, everything that vacationers need is provided here: sun loungers, umbrellas, volleyball fields, playgrounds, various bars and cafes. But you can just walk along the coast and admire the magnificent natural landscapes.
Agia Triada beach
A little further, already 22 km from Thessaloniki, you can visit another picturesque beach on this coast. The suburb where the beach is located is also called Agia Triada. It is very good to have a rest here with the whole family. You can get to the beach by regular buses - they run every 30 minutes - and plunge into the atmosphere of a comfortable beach holiday. It's nice that, unlike wild beaches, there are changing cabins, umbrellas with sun loungers, volleyball courts and tennis courts. There is a playground for kids, and bars and taverns for dads and moms. There are also hotels and small shops here. The shores are sandy and the water is unusually clear. In the evening, people come to this beach not only to swim, but also to watch amazing sunsets..
Beach Angelochori
A paradise for water sports lovers is the Angelochori beach. Here everything is already provided for both for the already traditional windsurfing and for a newer kind of water sport - kitesurfing. This place is located 30 kilometers from Thessaloniki, in a small village that bears the name Angelochori. The beach itself is named after her. And what is surprising, despite the athletes reaching here, even at the height of the summer season, find yourself a secluded corner to relax in peace. The water has umbrellas, but there may not be enough sun loungers for everyone.
Nea Michaniona Beach
Nea Michaniona beach is located even further from the center of Thessaloniki - 32 kilometers. Nevertheless, this place is worth getting here and enjoying the beauty of nature. For this you have to get to the municipality of Michaniona. The local beach Nea Michaniona is landscaped, as here you can find cafes and bars, volleyball courts, in general, this is an excellent place to spend an active holiday.
The sandy coast, the unusually warm sea, and stunning panoramas of the majestic mighty hills, against the backdrop of the endless sea below and the serene light blue sky from above - all this takes away somewhere far from the everyday hustle and bustle.
