Some of the best beaches in Greece! 720p/HD
Greece has more than 16,000 kilometers (9,320 miles) of coastline, 200,000 beaches, 6,000 islands (and islets). Greece's coastline is by far the longest coastline in the Mediterranean sea, and the tenth longest in the world. The deepest point in the Mediterranean Sea is called the Calypso Deep, it is located in the Ionian Sea in Greece, and is 5,267 meters deep (17,280 feet).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The quality of coastal bathing waters in Greece is systematically monitored since 1988 (according to Directive 76/160/EEC), and since then Greece has been receiving excellent reports on it's bathing water sites, with more than 95% of them meeting the most stringent guide values (excellent quality). According to the 2012 European bathing water quality report of the European Environment Agency, Greece and Cyprus have the cleanest coastal bathing waters in Europe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of your location in Greece, a beach won't be far away. Beaches in Greece have a serene, peaceful atmosphere. Most beaches have shallow, calm, crystal clear waters that make them ideal for young children and families. Due to the country's peninsular shape, big waves do not usually reach the beaches, except those that are exposed to the open ocean, which are mostly preferred by windsurfers. Apart from the long wide sandy beaches, and those lined with pine (in the North), or palm (in Crete) trees and lush green grass in the north, there are many small rocky, pebbly inlets, perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. There are also numerous remote beaches that are only accessible by boat, and other secluded naturalist beaches lining the coasts of Greece, where nudism is quite prevalent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditions in various beach destinations in the world can differ greatly. During the tourist season, Tropical Weather (in contrast to Mediterranean Weather), can produce unpleasant atmospheric conditions like: Sudden storms, monsoons, floods, clouds, extreme humidity and precipitation, unpleasantly warm sea temperature, dangerous strong ocean rip currents that can pull swimmers away from the shore without them even noticing and huge waves that can cause sea water to lose its clarity and become foamy, murky and dirty. Moreover, due to vast presence of algae, low salinity/iodine levels, excessive bacterial and micro-organic activity (which can be highly pathogenic), the sea color in the Tropical Zones can obtain a repulsive, slimy green color. In contrast to the Tropics, Greek summer is always hot, calm, sunny, cloudless and dry and the Greek sea is blue, clear and a lot safer, not only health-wise but also due to the fact that encounters with dangerous/venomous sea creatures and organisms is extremely rare in Greece, as such species are not endemic to the Mediterranean region. (There is only one anecdotal tale of a fatal shark attack in the Greek islands, and that was reported nearly a century ago).

Pelion - Greece - Fall 2015
Mount Pelion, the mythical homeland to Chiron the Centaur and summer residence of the gods is a scenic one-hour drive from Volos, a coastal port city situated midway on the Greek mainland. Mount Pelion remains beautiful all year round with its pristine and diverse beaches, lush forests with miles of hiking trails, skiing in the winter, and picturesque villages that seem to refuse change as they maintain their traditional architecture with warmth and charm.

Europas schönste Landschaften, Teil 1 Lalaria Beach in Griechenland
Eine Reise zu den schönsten Plätzen Europas. Dies ist der erste Teil und wir fahren mit dem Boot nach Lalaria Beach, Europas schönstem Strand. Er befindet sich auf der griechischen Insel Skiathos. Eine Zwischenstation machen wir in einem kleinen Dorf namens Katigiorgis. Es liegt gegenüber der Insel Skiathos, auf der Halbinsel Pilion. Von hier aus geht es dann am frühen morgen nach Lalaria, wo uns der unglaublichste Sonnenaufgang erwartet. Lalaria präsentiert sich im epischen Licht der Ägäis.
Ich nehme dich mit auf eine Reise übers Mittelmeer am Pilion vorbei, das Land der Zentauren, wo wir einen Zwischenstopp machen und in einem kleinen Fischerdorf direkt am Meer übernachten. Abends sitzen wir am Strand in der Taverne Floisvos und geniessen wirklich fangfrischen Fisch. Am nächsten Morgen dann geht es weiter mit dem Boot über das offene Meer Richtung Skiathos, Lalaria. Wir trauen unseren Augen nicht! Es erwartet uns ein unglaublicher Sonnenaufgang an einem der schönsten Strände Europas..
Wir verbringen den ganzen Tag dort und springen in das türkisfarbene kristallklare Wasser. Unser Hund Boomi wie immer dabei.
