In my opinion there are few if any beaches in Greece that have what Skala Eressos has to offer. The water is clear and the sand seems to go on for miles. The streets of the town which border the beach are closed to all automobile traffic and one can walk without fear of being run over. More importantly you do not have to worry about the safety of your children. The town ends at the beach road but cafes and restaurants have built bamboo covered decks that extend out on to the sand so you can sit in the shade and watch your kids playing in the Aegean and not be more than a few feet away.
Rooms are very available and prices are low.
A quiet little house surrounded by flowers and trees, a grand full service hotel with a swimming pool yet a few steps from the beach, pensions, single rooms, you can find whatever you want.

There is a spring-fed lake full of hundreds of turtles, frogs, fish, strange birds and even storks, which nest in bell tower of the church in the upper village. The valley is green and fertile with trails and paths that can keep you walking for hours, past small farms, villas, orchards, tiny churches, ancient ruins, and all manner of wild and not so wild life, including sheep, goats, donkeys, cows, turkeys, foxes, hedgehogs, chickens, and horses. There is a small harbor of fishing boats which supply the village with plenty of fresh fish.
