Agia Triada beach
Agia Triada Beach is one of the most favorite beaches in a quiet resort village. Thessaloniki is a bit north. The water at the beach at sunset turns from blue to gold, and the sky sends reflections of red and yellow. There are many beautiful resort places nearby, but the most delicate sand and blue water are here, for which Agia Triada was awarded the Blue Flag.
