Although Larissa is known as the city of the plain, just 50–60 minutes by car are enough to reach one of the most extensive coastal destinations in Central Greece. What locals call "Larissa Beach" is not just one beach but a continuous stretch of golden sand over 12 km long, running from Stomio to Agiokampos, with well-known stops at Velika, Sotiritsa, and Kokkino Nero.
What You'll Find
Several parts of the coastline have been awarded the Blue Flag for their cleanliness. The beaches are ideal for swimming, water sports, and families with children thanks to their shallow waters.
In summer, the area takes on a lively, island-like vibe. Organized beaches with loungers, music, and cocktails coexist with quiet, unspoiled spots for those seeking peace.
Seaside taverns serve fresh fish and seafood, paired with local tsipouro or wine from nearby Rapsani and Tyrnavos.
Combine your beach day with a hike on Mount Kissavos, a visit to the Kalypso waterfalls, or a short trip to the scenic Vale of Tempi.
Perfect for a Weekend Escape
Its proximity to Larissa makes it the ideal destination for a day trip or a full weekend getaway. Many locals spend the entire summer here, and the area offers a wide range of accommodation options, from hotels and rental rooms to camping sites.
Why Visit
Larissa Beach combines easy access, variety for every type of traveler – from families to groups of friends looking for nightlife – and the feeling of a real island resort without the need for a ferry. It is the summer "breath of fresh air" for the entire city and one of the most pleasant surprises for visitors who want to explore Thessaly beyond its fertile plain.
