Thessaloniki Beaches
Although Thessaloniki is mostly famous for its nightlife and sightseeing, there are a few nice beaches around the town. They are easy to access from the city center and most are organized with tourist facilities. However, many locals go to Halkidiki for swimming, as most beach resorts are about an hour's drive away from Thessaloniki.
In brief, beaches are found outside the city center. Agia Triada has to be the most famous.
You will find below a list of the best beaches in Thessaloniki sorted by popularity.
