This long, sandy beach stretches the entire length of the town. Some of the beach bars are on the beach itself, while others are not. Due to limited parking in the town centre, you will have to walk quite a distance. However, cafés and restaurants line the entire beach.

A beautiful, uncrowded, sandy beach without any beach bars.
It's not the best beach, but it's the least crowded one with sand and a shallow entry into the water. Since there are also motorboats anchored in the bay, you have to be prepared to share the space with them.
There is an undeveloped sandy beach below the castle which is relatively easy to reach by car.
Anaktoropolis
The ruins of the 10th- to 15th-century Byzantine town and castle of Anaktoropolis have been preserved. The town was strategically located near one of the few ports between Thessaloniki and Constantinople. The castle fell to the Ottomans between 1383 and 1387, after which it was destroyed and rendered insignificant. The remains were later used as building materials for the surrounding settlements. The fortress ruins lie just under a kilometre southwest of the town centre, on a hill that overlooks Eleftheres Bay, offering an impressive panoramic view of the coast and the Ammolofoi Dunes. The ring of walls has a circumference of around 650 metres and features several well-preserved rectangular and round defensive towers, as well as a citadel standing at over 11 metres high on the south-east side.
The middle bay boasts a beautiful sandy beach and is located in a picturesque setting. However, access is via a poorly maintained dirt track which is often littered with rubbish.
On the mountain are the remains of several artillery positions of a Bulgarian defensive wall, the so-called Salonika Front from World War I.
