<h3>Beaches</h3><p>The nearby shores — Nea Kallikratia beach, Mykoniatika and <strong>Anthoupoli</strong> — are sandy with shallow, safe water, organised and ideal for children.</p>
<h3>What sets it apart</h3><p>Its great asset is the <strong>very short distance from Thessaloniki</strong> (~30 minutes), making it ideal for a day at the beach or calm family holidays beside the city, without the crowds and the long drive to the peninsulas.</p>
<h3>Food and life</h3><p>On the beach and in the village you'll find fish tavernas, cafés and bars at a relaxed pace, with fresh fish and a sea view.</p>
<h3>Getting there and around</h3><p>It neighbours <strong>Nea Kallikratia</strong>, <strong>Nea Iraklia</strong> and Lakkoma, sharing the same easily reached Thermaic coast.</p>
<h3>Who it suits and when</h3><p>Ideal for families and Thessaloniki residents wanting the closest sea. Main season is <strong>May–September</strong>.</p>
