Ouranoupoli Beach
Παραλία Ουρανούπολης
A town beach stretching to either side of the Byzantine tower, where you can lie on the sand and look out over Mount Athos and the Drenia Islets.
The beach in front of Ouranoupoli extends north and south from the Byzantine tower, with soft sand and shallow, clear water. The northern stretch has many hotels and beach bars, while the southern stretch toward Trimiti Beach is quieter, with views of the outline of Mount Athos and the Drenia Islets across the water. Entry is free, though sunbeds and parasols charge a fee. The harbor and seafood eateries are right nearby, making it a good place for a swim after a boat trip.
