One of those is Agioi Saranta (ιγιοι Σαράντα). The beach is striking with its unimaginably clean sand and the same water (its color changes with distance from the coast - from azure to turquoise). The beach is quite shady so you can sunbathe here only in the morning or during the daytime. A picturesque bay is what many people visit this beach for. Well, also for the fact that it is not so crowded. At the edge of the beach, one can find a bar where you can grab a bite to eat if suddenly someone from your family is getting hungry.

If you are traveling to the city in winter, such a place as Δημοτικο ολυμβητηριο is a must-have. This is a complex primarily attractive to the smallest tourists due to the opportunity to enjoy swimming to its fullest. In addition to the pool (one small and one large pool), you can find a recreation room in the center. Relatively close to the complex is the playground Παιδική χαρ Αμπελοκήπων where children of any age are warmly welcome. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
