Aktis, 555 35, Pilea
Been here?
A wild overnight spot 20 meters from the sea, now affected by a dirty beach and many potholes. The short dirt approach is very bumpy and may be impassable after rain. Nights are generally quiet, with occasional aircraft, while mosquitoes and some litter are reported. Lidl is a 5-minute walk away, and IKEA offers daytime parking with a bus connection to Thessaloniki.

Nothing special, as the beach is dirty and completely covered with potholes. If it has not rained for several days beforehand, the route may be passable.
Quiet night. We arrived late and left early; it is a useful stop near the airport. Lots of mosquitoes, of course...
Very quiet place to spend the night. The road is a little bumpy, but it's short. Sometimes one can hear a plane or two - but we got to sleep very well without anybody bothering.
Top spot, nothing going on. Fill a garbage bag and take it with you.
From the main road, turn right just after the Lidl supermarket at the sign saying "Pros paralia" (to the beach). In dry weather, the access is easy. We were completely alone here. Swimming was okay. The tip about parking at Ikea is also good - thanks for that!
Very bumpy but definitely manageable. I did not like the beach at all and did not want to go into the water either. A few fishermen during the day. Very quiet at night apart from the sound of planes. Not too much rubbish. Lidl is a five-minute walk away.
We parked here for the night. When there is no rain, no problem. Very dirty around.
We decided against taking the route without a 4x4. The last section of the road was under water; the ground conditions were unclear, and we did not want to get stuck.
Very nice place where you are alone almost all the time, few people during the day that comes to fish, weekends a little more busy. Noise during the day and evening from the airport, but not to bad. We needed up staying here for 3 nights since it’s so calm and the connection is great! Biggest downside is all the trash that people trow everywhere, please collect a bag of trash if you stay here, together we can make this place beautiful again :-)
Yes, lots of rubbish. Yes, lots of planes. But what a view. A local resident says that sometimes so many people come and leave so much rubbish behind. Sometimes we clean things up, but this place is impossible to keep up with. We had a good night's sleep, but beware of the wind.
During the day we parked at IKEA and were robbed. We still stayed here at night, and apart from a few couples, it was very quiet and peaceful, and we fell asleep to the sound of the waves (as far as possible after the break-in). Of course there is a lot of rubbish lying around, but it is very good for one night!
I don't understand the complaints at all - the place is five minutes from the airport, with expansive views, greenery all around, quiet, and a few anglers. I can overlook the somewhat untidy surroundings. Great if you need to go to the airport.
The proximity to the airport makes the rubbish bearable!
