Latest reviews on Macedonia and Thrace's beaches

Voulitsa beach
10 Jaxon Mercer

This is one of the best beaches I have ever been to. It is situated in a remote location, surrounded by crystal clear water. There are options for both free and paid sun beds. We enjoyed delicious bao buns and a club sandwich with chicken. The exceptional service, food quality, and tranquil atmosphere make me want to give this place a five-star rating on Google. It truly offers a peaceful and serene experience in Greece.

Paralia Kolimvisis
8 Petros Zephyr

The beach has a stunning sandy shoreline and tends to be quite popular during the summer season. There are plenty of entertainment choices available in the vicinity.

Tzanis beach
10 Liam Anderson

We had an amazing experience at Tzanis! The food was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly! There were plenty of choices for fresh fish, and let me assure you, these guys are experts at preparing it! Just be sure to make a reservation well ahead of time on the weekends because it gets quite crowded. But that's understandable since it's likely the finest seafood restaurant in the village.

Paralia Kolimvisis II
6 Lila Novak

This hotel is definitely not deserving of a 5-star rating. The service and conditions are extremely poor for a complex of this caliber. The waiters in the main bar near the restaurant are clearly incapable of handling more than one table. Even when they see that your glass is empty, they simply walk away and ignore you for 30-40 minutes. I had a disagreement with one of them and tried to speak to the manager, but there was no one available. The rooms are relatively clean, but we encountered ants in the bathroom multiple times. Additionally, the furniture is quite old. The sunbeds are dirty and broken, and despite paying for your stay, there is no fence to prevent non-hotel guests from using them for free. I have much more to say, but I cannot recommend this hotel as a 5-star establishment. The service is not worth the money, likely due to the laziness of the Greek staff.

Mylos beach
6 Rex

The water at this beach is very deep and gets deep quickly. The bottom is mostly rocky with very little sand. However, the water is clean.

Chelona beach
8 Manfred Pütz

Fantastic beach, top boat mooring and great staff.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 161 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 30.2°C and water up to 28.6°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 7.6°C and water to 14.7°C.
