Almyros Beach
Closest easy swim from the house. A large sandy beach with very shallow water, a cold freshwater river at one end, and enough space to work for families even on busier days.
Town Beach
Ammos Beach
The easiest city swim if you want sand, umbrellas, and zero logistics. Right by the marina, with calm water and everything you need within a short walk.
Harbour Front
Kitroplatia Beach
The classic waterfront beach in the middle of town. Good when you want to mix a swim with lunch, coffee, or a late-afternoon stroll along the promenade.
