Latest reviews on Oikismos "Kato Galene"'s beaches

Nea Iraklia beach

8 Rick Lanes

We enjoyed it. The Sahara beach near Nea Heraklia was great. Since we had a 4x4 pickup, we were able to drive inside the sand dunes and the beach wasn't crowded. There are two well-known and popular beach bars, "Sahara resort" and "YOLO," about 200m to the left and right. We positioned ourselves right in between, where cars without 4x4 couldn't enter the dunes. This allowed us to have some peace and quiet. If you don't want to leave and stay for hours, make sure to bring your own water and food supply.

Sahara beach

We had an absolutely amazing time at Sahara beach bar near Nea Irakleia! The manager and staff were extremely friendly and attentive, which made our visit truly unforgettable. We all had a great time. The beachfront location was stunning, and the drinks were delicious. The service went above and beyond our expectations. Although we didn't try any of the watersports due to the windy weather on the day we visited, they seemed interesting. The beach had over 1.5K sunbeds in different shapes, ensuring the comfort of all guests. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy a perfect day at the beach. We will definitely be returning regularly!

This magnificent shoreline boasts crystalline waters that are gentle and inviting, with powdery sand that is immaculately kept. There is ample parking available, and the beach is dotted with numerous bars and a vigilant lifeguard to ensure your safety. Despite its proximity to Thessaloniki, the beach remains pleasantly uncrowded, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful getaway.

Aigeas beach

The staff is friendly and accommodating, but the prices are not competitive compared to other campgrounds in Greece. The bathrooms are in poor condition, and the Class B caravans are old and poorly maintained. The beds are uncomfortable.
