The summer is upon us and day temperatures in Thessaloniki can reach 30 degrees Celsius in June: perfect for a visit to the beach. Even in cloudy days (there aren't many in June) the lowest temperatures rarely drop below 18 degrees and the daily average floats around a comfy 23 degrees.
The closest quality beach you can visit from Thessaloniki for a quick swim is located in Perea, less than 20 kilometers from the city center. The beach there is usually quiet and the quality is quite good.
Halfway between Perea and Thessaloniki, you can find the famous 5-star hotel Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki. Hyatt Regency may be expensive to stay for a night but it is also home to the city's largest casino, the Regency Casino Thessaloniki, a popular gambling spot for locals and tourists alike. In addition to the Casino, Hyatt also hosts a number of other amenities including a prime quality spa and an array of swimming pools.
For those looking to venture a bit further away from the city to enjoy the sun, the province of Chalkidiki is literally full of spotless beaches and pristine coastlines waiting to be explored. The Lime Beach Bar is situated in a fantastic beach in Chalkidiki known as Moudounou and there is fun to be had on the sand all day and night. The Lime Beach Bar is part of White Suites Resort, a great and affordable resort in Chalkidiki with hospitable staff and amazing services.
Returning to the city, June is another great month for sailing, as the temperature is perfect and the winds are strong. The Nautical Club of Thessaloniki, located down the port offers a wide variety of sailing activities in June. You can visit the club to learn more about the sea, explore Thermaikos gulf and even take some professional training to be a captain, as they offer sailing lessons at bargain prices.
