Very popular are the beaches of Nea Peramos The village has a rather narrow, long sandy beach right on the promenade. On the peninsula, where the castle of Peramos stands, there are some smaller bays. Vrasidas is the most famous bay with a beach bar. Especially younger people prefer the beaches of Amolofos , 4km west of Peramos. Parking, sunbeds, umbrellas, loungers, beach showers and loud music are available free of charge if you order a drink at the bar. The crystal-clear shallow waters and fine sand provide a relaxed holiday atmosphere for those who love more action than peace. Pretty crowded in the season. Driving from Nea Peramos along the highway in the direction of Thessaloniki you will come to other very popular beaches in a particularly beautiful environment, with crystal clear water and beach bars. On Sundays in high season these beaches are very crowded. If you prefer quieter, should there during the week. The best known are: Oasis Beach Bar, Cuba Beach Bar, Almyra Beach Bar, Sarakina. Continue west, about 2 km after the entrance to Loutra Eleftheron (hot sources), the only nudist beach. Even further west then extends the many miles long, well-developed tourist beach of 'Orfriniou' .
Above the village starts the nice 'trail to the castle ruins' (about 2km) with wonderful views over the massif and the plain of Drama. A number of good restaurants with stunning views are well worth a visit in the village. The village is centrally located and well suited to take up quarters here. You can reach both Elefteropolis as a larger town quite quickly, as well as Kavala, if you want to escape the quiet of the villages. Also the way to the beach is not far and the village center is nicely designed, so that one can stroll in the evening and then eat well in one of the restaurants.
Above the village there is the restaurant Kastanies" which is definitivly worth a visit due to the impressive views over the plain of Philippi and on the Pangaio mountain. Because of the altitude, it is refreshingly cool even in midsummer. From the end of the street at the restaurant, a very nice 'trail' leads to a small waterfall (800m) and an old bridge (1600m).
(Μόνη Εικοσιφοινίσσης) It is located about 15 km from Nikissiani direction Thessaloniki. It is well signposted high on the mountain with superb paintings and impressive architecture in a fantastic location. A cafeteria in front of the monastery offers refreshments and a cool place to stay. Ikosifinissa Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries and centers of Orthodoxy in the Balkans.
