Velika beach
8 JESSICA KELLY

This beach is a great spot for swimming, although certain areas are more preferable than others. It is important to exercise caution with children, as the water gets deep quite quickly. Additionally, the sea can become quite stormy and wavy, so it's important to prioritize safety, as there are no lifeguards on duty. The beach provides lounge chairs, and depending on where you choose to sit, there are coffee shops where you can also order light meals. It is conveniently located about an hour's drive from the city of Larissa, Greece.

Perfect 👌

Poseidon hotel beach
8 Lysandra Everhart

We stayed at Poseidon Palace for 3 days over Christmas for the second year in a row. The hotel offers great value for money during this time of year. The rooms are very spacious, perfect for a family of 4, with two separate rooms (connected by a sliding door), two TVs, and a large bathroom. The view of Mount Olympus is stunning. We opted for half board and found the food to be delicious. The service was friendly, and the staff were always helpful and polite. The area has a variety of activities to offer, including archaeological sites, hiking trails, and museums.

Leptokaria beach
8 Lena Katsaros

Leptokaria beach is our favorite destination, and we have been visiting it since our childhood. This summer, we had a mostly delightful experience at the beach. However, we did face some difficulty due to the large stones that made the water inaccessible at times. Despite this, we were pleased to see that many visitors spent hours creating paths to help those with mobility issues enter and exit the sea with ease. Moreover, we were grateful for the abundance of sand this year, which made the beach experience even more enjoyable, as there were fewer stones than in previous years.
