Thessaloniki Beaches - Top 7 Best Beaches

Our Top 7 #Thessaloniki Beaches judged by distance from Thessaloniki, beach bars, sea quality & parking availability.
Distance from Thessaloniki - How far away it is and how easy it is to get to. Realistically the only beach you can get to without a car is Perea. If you are in Thessaloniki you can get to Perea by boat, takes around 50 minutes each way. You can do the bus but it takes around 1.5 hours and the buses can be super packed. Car is the best choice for all of the other beaches.
Beach Bars - How many, how much choice, only one is a bit dodgy, maybe you don't like the music! Presentation of the beach bars that are there also effects the score a little.
Sea quality - The reputation of the sea, ie how clean it is, I personally I would swim in every single beach in the list but I add the local opinion. Also includes the sea bed, ie if it is rocky, or sandy. If the beach has some rocks it gets a small downgrade in score.
Parking availability - This video was filmed in May 2019. Things are still quite, in June July August if you are going to these beaches on a weekend parking can become an issue. The rating I give reflect how long I think it will take you to find parking when you get there. Quality of the car park has a small effect on the score.

GreAt going to perea and wanted some review ?

[@malmo147]

Just on the video, Kampos as I was watching looked quite appealing. (all would be nice though!). Perhaps could try there and Portamos someday. Now Rhossili Bay where I was yesterday was very impressive, and weather was nice, but no beach bars, and not consistently warm enough of course!

[@dickjohnson6670]

Yeah, the climate and tide is a problem for a beach bar... I was going to say Rhossili makes up for it with a shipwreck but Potamos has got one also...
