The beach bordered by Akti Olympion and the Crowne Plaza hotel is one of the closest to the city centre, as well as one that offers a variety of options to beachgoers. The expansive sand beach and relatively shallow water create great conditions for beach and aquatic recreation. Because vehicles transporting boats and other water-related equipment can easily access the beach, it is also suited for water sports. The beach itself lacks structured facilities, but nearby kiosks and concession stands provide access to supplies and refreshments.
