One of the Greek summer pearls is just near Athens, a few hundred kilometers from Romania.
It is said that it takes a lifetime to discover Greece, but only one second is enough to fall in love with it. Once you have experienced a break on this fabulous land, only a few hundred kilometers from our country, you will not want to spend your summers elsewhere. Most of the turists when thinking of Greece they only think of Crete or Athens but as you will see in this article there are many other places worth visiting. And in Greece, the summer lasts from May to October.
The main attraction for any tourist arriving in Greece is represented by the extremely diverse beaches, from those with fine sand and gentle landscapes, to rocky ones, white or pink, or with the pebbles carefully sanded by the foamy waves of the sea. In addition to all these beauties, the sea, of a charming color, that mesmerizing turquoise, is perfect for various underwater activities, dedicated to lovers of exploration. Whether we talk about the Olimpia Riviera or other islands in Greece, you will have no regrets about staying in Greece.
Considered one of the Greek summer pearls, located on a bus ride from Athens (and 750 kilometers from Bucharest), this beach is ideal for families with small children or for relaxation with a group of friends. Blue Flag beach is designated for high standards of water and quality cleanliness. With a smooth entrance to the sea and fine sand, you will feel like in a resort, especially because of the exemplary cleanliness. The ticket price includes sun beds and umbrellas, as well as change cabins, clean toilets and free private parking, but with limited seating. Even in the autumn, September-October, the sea water is warm and you can enjoy the calm waves that reach the shore of Vouliagmeni, while the children have fun in the specially arranged places. If you are in a family who loves beach activities, this is the place to go.
As one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, but also in Europe, this bay on Zakynthos attracts tourists every year not only because of the white sand or the turquoise sea it contrasts with, but also for an over 30 year old wreck that remained on the shore. The ship, MV Panagioti, which it is said transported smuggled goods, failed during a storm at sea and was abandoned on the beach. Being impossible to reach Navagio Bay from the land, the access to the beach is made only by boat, but the spectacular place deserves a visit, being considered the symbol of the island. Pirate stories, relaxation and the opportunity to swim in the Ionian Sea are the strengths of this area.
A jewel that combines white sand and turquoise water, which stretches along rocky formations, Egremni beach is the main attraction for tourists arriving in the Lefkada peninsula. Accessible before the earthquake in 2015, the beach now awaits its visitors only at sea, since the fabulous stairs that completed the landscape were destroyed. Even so, Egremni is a spectacular place, which you have to tick on the list of Greek beaches because it is a suitable place to relax, swim and admire spectacular landscapes.
The beauty of the white sand stretches for a distance of 2.5 kilometers and makes the connection between the rocky coast and the steep back and the crystalline water, which highlights its turquoise because of the contrast with the sand. The whole landscape has a special dramatic element to it, and seen from above it is even more spectacular, so do not forget about the holiday pictures. Checking this area out will delight you in the sun on the rented lounge chairs, while enjoying a cocktail at the beach bar. The crystalline water awaits those who want to swim, but you have to be aware that the beach is in a region of strong currents, so do not go too far offshore.
Make the most beautiful memories of your holiday in Greece by reaching this dream spot. The formations of volcanic rock, of a bright white color, re-create the unique aspect of Sarakiniko beach, creating the impression of a moon landscape. The impressive land attracts tourists like a magnet, and the travel images are surprising. It is not a place to visit with small children, given the rather steep land, but for lovers the beach is ideal and will delight in the contrast of colors, the white of the rocks and the crystalline turquoise of the water.
Do you miss those wide beaches, with golden sand and smooth entry into the water? Then you should check this beach on the list of the next trip to Greece. Surrounded by pine forests and providing a generous space for sun loungers and beach sheets, Karavostasi is a true paradise with turquoise waters and fascinating views. The beach strip is accessible, 15 kilometers from the town of Parga, and parking spaces are easy to find nearby. All you have to do is enjoy the sea water, which is quite peaceful during the summer in this bay, and build the strongest sand castle.
Everything about this beach is fascinating. From its appearance, in the form of the letter omega, to the name Voidokilia, mentioned even in Homer’s Odyssey, the place is like a piece of Heaven. The spectacular beach is inside the bay, the fine sand and the water of a turquoise perfectly completing the paradise setting. What seems to have been an old port in the time of King Nestor, is today a place of relaxation, which invites you to discover it.
A place that seems oblivious to the world, wild and away from the eyes of tourists, Halikounas beach is the perfect choice for you especially if you love to feel like you are in nature. Located to the southwest of the island’s capital and stretching for more than three kilometers, the beach offers you the long-awaited tranquility during the holidays. Children can play in the fine sand, while the smooth entry into the crystal clear water is ideal for swimming. The sand dunes fill the wild landscape and give you a feeling of connection with the surroundings, so do not miss it if you arrive on the island of Corfu.
Get away from the golden sandy beaches and discover the unique, black-sand variant on the island of Santorini. Kamari beach is one of the most popular in the region and you will find it in the village on the edge of Kamari, 10 km southeast of Fira, near the airport. The imposing Mount Mesa Vouno stands on the verge of proximity to the beach, composed of black sand of volcanic origin. The spectacular element appears at dusk, when the black rock fragments begin to shine. The length of 5 kilometers is between the longest three beaches in Santorini, with crystal clear and deep waters. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy snorkeling, windsurfing, water skiing or surfing. The exemplary cleanliness and organization made it distinguished with Blue Flag, another reason to include it on the wish list if you arrive in Santorini. There are also a football field and a volleyball area on the beach, which add even more fun to the already spectacular place.
Whether you opt for the quiet areas of Greece, or you prefer the lively beaches, painted by nature in unique colors, with wild landscapes and spectacular rocks, the ideal place to spend your holidays with your family and friends is in the Greek countryside.
