Where is the best place in Greece: beaches

So, you have decided to go to Greece, but don't know where yet. We invite you to read our short overview of most beaches to get a rough idea of ​​​​the direction, and then go directly to those cities or islands that you like best. Let's start with the capital region. In Athens itself, tourists usually do not swim, but if you want to combine sightseeing with a beach holiday, you can easily stay somewhere nearby. Naturally, the division is arbitrary, but you can imagine what tourists do in a particular region.

Where is the best place to relax in Greece? Athens and surroundings

Glyfada is the Athenian Riviera. It is located on the Saronic Gulf, where families mainly rest. The beaches are mostly sandy. The beach is simpler, but well organized - Asteria Seaside, the beach is more expensive - Ballax Beach. There is a lot of entertainment here. In the Vravrona area you can enjoy white sand, in Varkiza - a gentle entrance to the sea ( a good option for families with children), for those who want to do water sports - Lagonissi. The closest to Athens is Kavouri, if you plan to travel to the capital often, you will like it. One of the most famous is Loutraki. Here the beaches are pebbly, with small and large pebbles. There are also many discos and entertainment. Marathon resort - with a convenient entrance to the sea, sandy beaches, again, great for children.

Where is the best place to go in Greece? Peloponnese Peninsula

If you have chosen this wonderful peninsula, you will surely find the most suitable beach for yourself. By the way, there are even municipal beaches with free umbrellas and sun loungers (a rarity!).

If you are relaxing with your family, then look at the beaches of Alykes, Arachos, Kalogria, Stupa, Seliantika.

For lovers of active water sports, aquatic species sports, Akrata, Zacharo, Psili Ammos, Karathonas, Porto Heli, Eleonas are suitable. Young people will definitely like Nerokosmos, where there are a lot of entertainments. Nature lovers will appreciate the beauty of Romanos Beach and the surrounding area. By the way, there are sea turtles here.

Where to relax in Greece: arriving in Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is a wonderful city with a huge number of attractions, and also quite ancient. However, due to the large port, the sea in this area is not conducive to swimming. Therefore, tourists who have flown here are transported along the entire coast. There are a huge number of hotels in the vicinity, many of them have their own beaches, but there are also municipal ones. Mostly they are sandy, well-equipped, some of them are marked with "blue flags" - an international environmental mark.

Where better to Greece: shopping

Many people love Greece not only for its wonderful beaches, but also for the opportunity to buy fur coats, gold and clothes. If everything is clear with the second and third - it is everywhere, then you should be more careful with fur coats. Of course, they are sold everywhere in Greece, but still it is much more profitable to go as close as possible to the factories. In Greece, shopping lovers should go to the city of Kastoria. It was here that a huge number of fur factories were concentrated. There are also exhibition centers, shops, excursions to places where fur coats are sold. If a fur coat is your main goal, then it is better to take a special tour. This is very profitable, but usually you will be required to purchase the product (usually from 1000 euros). Remember that one person is not allowed to export more than 3 fur coats from Greece. Another important nuance is that when buying a fur coat in Kastoria, you are unlikely to receive a tax refund (Tax Free).

Where can you go first? Perhaps, in the EDICA fur center, one of the largest. There are more than a hundred exhibition pavilions, they represent different factories. The center is focused specifically on tourists, including those from Russia.

Individual showrooms of factories are also in demand. For example, Papadopoulos Furs (mass and exclusive models), Avanti (own creative workshop), Naomi (many elite options, for those who are looking for exclusive) and others.

Which island of Greece is better to choose?

If you plan to relax on the island, then most likely you dream of enjoying the beach and nature. Nature in Greece is chic almost everywhere, but the beaches must be chosen carefully. Especially if it is important for you whether to lie on sand or pebbles, in a well-equipped place or not. At the same time, hotels can often have their own beaches - better than municipal ones, especially if it is a 5 * hotel.

Which Greek island to choose? Crete

Crete is one of the most popular destinations already for many years. Almost everywhere in the north the beaches are sandy. Pebble - mainly in the south, sand and pebble are found in the east of Crete, in the region of Ierapetra and Sitia. Pay attention to two beaches: Balos and Falasarna (Chania) - they are rightfully considered one of the most beautiful in the world, they have been repeatedly noted in various ratings, top lists. The nature of Crete and the architecture are very diverse, it makes sense to travel around the island to appreciate the richness of the colors of Greece.

Where to fly to Greece? Rhodes

Rhodes is perhaps the second most popular island. Here, chic vegetation is perfectly combined with the opportunity to relax in a high-class hotel (although there are many economy options). Sandy, pebble and sandy-pebble beaches are mixed here, without a special system, so to select a specific city, it is better to go to its page. Note that, far from the main tourist spots there are the beaches of Gennadi and Kiotari - where you can relax calmly. Many people love Lindos for its variety of services, and athletes usually choose Ialyssos.

Choose the islands of Greece. Kos

Kos is an almost completely “sandy” island, sand and pebble beaches come across only in the area of ​​​​Psalidi and Agios Fokas. The most popular is Marmari, a pleasant white sand - on Kardamena, with children you can go to Lambi - there is a gentle entrance and sand that is pleasant to the touch. At the same time, there is something for adults to do: there is a rental.

Corfu. Another popular resort in Greece

In Corfu, as well as in Rhodes, the beaches are mixed: next to the sandy one, it can turn out to be pebbly, and sometimes even without much transition. The island is gaining popularity among Russian tourists in recent years: more and more tour operators are opening this destination. With children, they usually go on vacation to Agios Stefanos and Dassia, since there is a gentle entrance to the sea. Party-goers choose Sidari, but in any case, the island will appeal to all lovers of gorgeous views. Incredible photos rocks, bays, forests will delight you for a very long time!

Zakynthos or Santorini?

Surprisingly, for some reason, tourists often cannot choose between these two islands. Zakynthos - more nature, Santorini - more architecture and unusual views, more like Italy. There are not so many popular places both there and there. When choosing where it is better to fly to Greece, on Zakynthos you can consider the beaches of Daphni and Gerakas (sand, there are sea turtles), as well as Marathias (pebbles). Diving lovers usually go to Limnionas beach, there are all conditions for this. Santorini will amaze the imagination with unusual colors. The houses and buildings here are mostly white, but the sand ... sometimes black, sometimes red! Dark - in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bPerissa and Kamari, red - in Aktorini, the beach is called "Red".

You can also go to less popular islands: Thassos (almost along the entire perimeter - beaches, sand), Astypalea (also sand, but beaches are not everywhere), Kalymnos (pebbles), Karpathos (sand, pebbles, there is very light sand), Leros ( mostly sandy), Mykonos (sand) and others. If you have questions about where to fly to Greece, ask them in the comments.

Greece as a travel destination is indeed very multifaceted. There are resorts for every taste and budget (not to mention the sights)!

Thessaloniki

The second largest city in Greece after Athens. Strictly speaking, it is not a resort, because in order to swim here, you have to go out of town. But in Thessaloniki itself there is a lot of interesting things for the traveler: ancient sights (White Tower, arch and tomb of Galeria, agora, Roman forum), museums, a water park and an amusement park, nightclubs, restaurants and family taverns, and many shops, including, fur shops.

Santorini Island (Fira)

The most mysterious and unusual island of the Cyclades group. In 1500-1650 BC. at this place there was a powerful earthquake and a volcanic eruption - the surviving remnant of the crater and became the island of Santorini. From this, there are black mountains and beaches of various colors - white, red and black.

Many researchers, including the famous Jacques-Yves Cousteau, still assume that it is here, in the caldera of the volcano, which, after an earthquake, plunged to a depth of 300-400 meters, is the missing Atlantis. Many tourists choose this island for romantic dinners, weddings and honeymoons: mind-blowing views and the unique atmosphere of the island are conducive to this.

Some interesting facts about the island:

1. The hypothesis of the death of the Minoan civilization, as a result of the eruption of the Santorini volcano, is considered the most plausible, but not the only one. There are versions that the Achaean Greeks, who invaded from the mainland, could be the culprits.
2. Jules Verne visited Santorini with a group of volcanologists. What he learned here was used by him to describe the volcanic eruption in the novel The Mysterious Island.
3. Pumice from the quarries of Santorini was used in the 60s of the XIX century in the construction of the Suez Canal.
4. In the bay near the port lies a circle of black mourning buoys. This is the place of death in 2007 of the Greek cruise ship"Sea Diamond", as a result of hitting the volcanic reef of one of the five islands that make up the Santorini archipelago - Nea Kameni.
5. There is a NATO base on Santorini.

Santorini has long been ranked first in the list of the most beautiful islands in the world, leaving Bali (Indonesia), Cape Breton (Canada), Boracay Islands (Philippines), Big barrier reef(Australia).

The beauty of Santorini is truly impressive. At the same time, admiring the magnificent caldera, you do not forget for a second that this beauty brings danger and destruction. Here you instantly realize the full power of nature and our planet and feel the feeling of how defenseless a person can be before this force.

A day trip to Santorini, for example from Crete, can be a pleasant boat trip for the first acquaintance with Santorini, however, during such an excursion, you will definitely not have enough time to get acquainted with the beauties and sights of the island.

Some of the sights and hiking trails of Santorini:

• Excavations of the ancient city near the village of Akrotiri, 15 km south of the capital of the island, Fira. The city was buried under a thick layer of volcanic ash during the eruption, thanks to which it is perfectly preserved. It consists of 2-3-storey houses, inside of which well-preserved frescoes were found, somewhat reminiscent of Cretan Minoan palaces.
• Walking route Oia - Fira, starting from the path on the caldera and leading along old road to churches Profitis Ilias And Timios Stavros on the top of the mountain.
• Picturesque walking route Imerovigli - Skaros, lasting about 30 minutes and leading to the Venetian fortified castle Skaros towering above the sea on top of a sheer cliff.
• Perissa - Vouno Mass - Ancient Fira. Following this route from Perissa beach (with black volcanic sand), you will reach Wuno mass, where ancient Fira, the capital of the island, stood, and now excavations are underway, visiting which you can see the agora, the theater, Roman baths, the sanctuary, the Gymnasium.
• Be sure to take a boat trip around the caldera, visiting the islands of Palea Kameni, Nea Kameni and Therasia. The uninhabited island of Nea Kameni is the most visited among tourists - it, in fact, is active volcano, which last erupted in 1956. The landscape of the island of Nea Kameni is absolutely lifeless, when visiting it is recommended to have a hat with you and wear shoes with thick soles, as the soil on the island in the crater area heats up to + 80 ° C! On the island of Palea Kameni there are thermal springs with water having a yellow-blue color due to the high sulfur content. You can swim in them, but swimsuits and swimming trunks will have to be thrown away after that, because. it is not subject to deletion.

Zakynthos is one of three ionian island Greece, located near the Peloponnese peninsula (9.5 nautical miles) and the island of Kefalonia (8.5 nautical miles). A picturesque island with numerous beaches, Navagio Bay - a symbol of the island (you can see it in any article about Zakynthos), Caretta-Caretta turtles, magnificent old Venetian mansions, etc. The capital of the island - the city of Zakynthos - reminds Medieval city with narrow cobbled streets and beautiful squares, in which the mansions of Venetian merchants with loggias and arched galleries are perfectly preserved.

pros

• great beaches
• developed tourism infrastructure
• scenic views

Minuses

• perhaps, for some, Zakynthos, in contrast to the nearby island of Kefalonia, may lack the “spirit of true Greece” - as in many places popular for tourists, there is a dominance of pizzerias and McDonald's, to the needs of British and Italian tourists who have long settled here

Kefalonia Island (Kefalonia)

The largest and most mountainous island of the Ionian Sea, located near the Peloponnese, between the islands of Ithaca, Zakynthos and Lefkada. Picturesque, green and very clean island. Unfortunately, many of the architectural sights of the Venetian occupation on the island were destroyed by an earthquake in 1953, however, the island has many beautiful places for visiting. The "visiting card" of the island is the world famous beach Myrtos.

The name of this island has long become a symbol of prestigious and fashionable recreation and life to the fullest. Representatives of the world bohemia and the offspring of the noble families of Europe love to relax here. The destination is also very popular among gay tourists.

pros

Minuses

• relatively difficult for Russians transport accessibility of the island

Peninsula Halkidiki

Halkidiki is three rather different peninsulas, with their outlines resembling the trident of Zeus. The most popular among tourists is the Kassandra peninsula, on the far left. The tourist infrastructure is the most developed here: there are many hotels, restaurants and nightclubs. Middle Peninsula- Sithonia - known for its picturesque landscapes and wild beaches.

Pine groves, the purest Aegean Sea, soft sand and cozy bays make Halkidiki attractive for families with children. The third, easternmost, peninsula is the monastic Aion-Oros (Athos or "Holy Mountain", where 19 Orthodox monasteries are located). Access to this "monastic state" is possible only for men, is limited and requires a separate permit.

pros

• scenic landscapes
• pine groves
• clean sandy beaches with a gentle entrance
• there is a casino

Minuses

• long transfer from the airport to most hotels

Peloponnese Peninsula

A truly huge (with an area of ​​​​22 million km 2) is called "Greece in miniature", it has everything we love this hospitable country for: beautiful beaches, picturesque mountain ranges, lively tourist centers and traditional villages with a patriarchal way of life, legendary ancient cities and archaeological sites and much, much more!

In the west, the peninsula is washed by by the ionian sea and to the east by the Aegean Sea. The 6-kilometer Corinth Canal, dug by hand in the 19th century, unites the two seas.

The main cities of the Peloponnese: Patras, Sparta, Tripoli, Pyrgos, Kalamata, Araxos, Napflion and Corinth.

Minuses

Pieria

The capital of the region is the city of Katerini, and the most popular resort on the coast is the city of Paralia. I was struck by the abundance of fur shops (almost every factory in Kastoria considers it its duty to open a fur salon in Paralia). Therefore, if the purpose of your trip is the purchase of fur products, and you are not planning a full 1-2-week vacation in Greece, Paralia and neighboring coastal towns may be a good option. In other cases, I’m not sure: the beaches that we saw here cannot compete with the beaches I saw earlier in other parts of Greece, in particular: the suburbs of Athens, the Halkidiki Peninsula, the islands of Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Santorini and others, the cleanliness of the coast and water, nor the tourist infrastructure.

Being in the mainland of Greece, it is definitely worth getting to know the beauties of Pieria: it is here that the ancient Greek gods live - the famous Mount Olympus with a magnificent national natural park on the slopes. Picturesque villages and mountain resorts at the foot of Mount Olympus are full of charm. The mountain village of Litohoro was especially struck by its unusual atmosphere.

And besides natural beauties, in the vicinity there are many archaeological sites: Dion, Pydna, Paliambela Kolindru and Platamonas.

So, I would advise you to visit Pieria, but not for a beach holiday, but for the purpose of excursions or buying a fur coat.

pros

• interesting direction for sightseeing holiday, as well as all those who are fond of mountain sports
choose and buy at a discount organized tour to Greece with a flight from any city in Russia, from the most reliable tour operators
