About Scuba diving in Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is a beautiful European city, known for its rich Greek culture and historical sites.

That often eclipses the fact that Thessaloniki is also home to some beautiful Mediterranean beaches along its shoreline. Many of these beaches are known for watersports. Diving in Thessaloniki is quite a popular watersport, along with snorkelling and waterskiing. Wave or windsurfing is not the option because of the lack of waves and low wind speed during most of the summer, typical to Mediterranean weather.

But the same calm and clear climate offer the best opportunities for scuba diving in Thessaloniki. Since the city centre is not by the sea itself, one has to drive up for a few kilometres to find a spot for scuba diving.

Asprovalta Beach in Agios Georgios, an hour’s drive from Thessaloniki, is a beautiful and sunny beach with a lively and spirited youthful vibe. There are good choices on water sports, including scuba diving into the crystal blue waters.

The nearest beach for diving in Thessaloniki is Stavros, facing Strymonicos Bay – an offshoot water body of the Mediterranean. It lies close to the city centre, within a driving distance of 30 minutes. The beach itself is a lovely place with a promenade to walk on and numerous places for dining and drinking. Richios Beach is yet another one, close to Stavros.

All these beaches are impeccably maintained and blue-flagged by the EU. Thessaloniki scuba diving scene in these beaches is beautifully serene and tranquil. Even if you are a veteran of the sport, you will find the calm of the Thessaloniki beaches to be something unexplored before. The clear blue seas allow you everything to see and touch and feel. As an added bonus for those who do not know how to swim or are scared of water, the depth of the sea in the Thessaloniki beaches are very less.

PADI-certified Sea World Scuba Diving Center is one of the most popular and premium names among the scuba diving schools in Thessaloniki. They offer state-of-the-art equipment and complete safety guidance for a safe dive, even for a first-timer.

Rohan's 7 days trip to Thessaloniki

Everything was great. We didn't have to think about our next move because everything was very well planned. Meteora, for sure! It is one of the best places to visit on earth. A geological and architectural marvel!! Maria and George in Meteora were one of the best guides.

Uday's 7 days trip to Thessaloniki

1. Excellent suggestion on the Travel Agent options. 2. Payment terms and modality of installments is user friendly. 3. It is probably the mandate of travel triangle to facilitate the travel schedule chosen by the customer. Perfect. Wish some inputs are mildly/indirectly provided by Travel Triangle in future to the prospective customers on the validity of their travel dates as far as tour season in the destination is concerned. If the travel dates fall in low season period, the shops are 90% closed, the internal transfers/ mode of travel (e.g ferries in Greece for the travel between islands get shut down in the low season period). 4. Hope there exist efforts from Travel Triangle to get the partnered agents in one room and train them of certain policy aspects . I am confident the top mgmt at Travel Triangle is aware about this. There is increased trend in higher middle class for aportioning funds for international travel and more over distinctly pronounced trend ( at least in Mahatrashtra) to avoid travelling thru big tour-arranging companies where the cotravellers don't exactly wear compatible mind-sets. Such travellers need more design inputs while deciding on the travel period for a given location. Hope above feed back would be taken in right perspective . Thanks for your time Dr. Uday B Gokhale, 9820830461

Shatabdi's 8 days trip to Thessaloniki

I am sooooooo happy with the Mauritius trip. Ms.Ishita 9f My Trav Plan took care of everything very smooooooothly. Her behavoiur is way too good. She is kind, generous & very understanding. She made the changes dat I required very patiently. I got one of my best trip. The hotel chosen for me, Veranda,Grand baie was simply a wow..All d staffs were so friendly nd caring. They took extra care for the whole 5 days. The cab chosen nd the driver was Mr.Suben. He is indeed a well mannered, helpful nd a very kind man. He went out of his way to help me in many places. Special thanks to him. Being a solo traveller, all the above mentioned facts matter to me very much. So thank you so much and looking forward for another trip.

Ramkicrn's 7 days trip to Thessaloniki

Took a week long family trip to Greece planned by Ishita and executed by Ishan from MTP vacations. Overall great experience. Pros: Ishita from sales side was quite flexible in tailoring our trip to Greece and accommodated most of my inputs towards locations, length of stay, hotels etc., Quote given was quite competitive compared to peers. Ishan from operations side stayed on top of our itinerary throughout our stay providing pickup co-ordinates, driver and stay details. Got us upgraded to better travel modes as needed to ensure our schedules won't go astray, made us positively surprised and appreciated. Was available on phone, chat through the stay to ensure our travel experience is not compromised. Cons/Improvement areas: Minor discomforts were to wait for end of the day to know exact details of next day's plans.. Though nothing went off-track majorly, couple of schedule changes were done (of course for a better experience), but weren't communicated till late. While we were able to take it in our stride and play along, might not be the case for others . Both the above are more for ppl who don't like surprises in schedules, especially bit older travelers. Sales team were able to accommodate my asks on locations, however would be great if they are forthcoming with such family friendly options for uninitiated travelers. But Overall lovely family vacation enabled by MTP team!! Keep up the good work...

Hotel & Stay - 5 stars Cabs & Facilities - 5 stars Trip itinerary- 5 stars Co-ordinating with Customer - 5 stars Customer service - 5 stars Flight & Transfers - 5 stars Worth of cost (Trip Budget) - 5 stars This mail is regarding recent honeymoon trip to Paris and Switzerland which was assisted end to end by Vishal Thakur. It was a really an awesome experience and very smooth everywhere. Everything went very well as planned and mentioned in itinerary. Vishal - Thanks a lot for arranging this wonderful trip and coordinating with me from beginning of trip plan to end of the journey. Vishal was very much patience and very good in handling the customer and to achieve the customer utmost satisfaction and did it very well in my case. Not but not the least , TRAVEL TRIANGLE - My initial impression was bit mixed feeling to proceed with Travel Triangle for the trip (because I didnt approach through any referral, I just got it from Google with some positive reviews). But getting in touch through calls and and drafting my honeymoon plan with my travel agent Vishal my perspective is entire changed and fully satisfied. Definitely, I will consider Travel Triangle for my next International trip for sure. I am giving 5 out of 5 stars rating for the entire trip and especially for travel agent Vishal. Please continue the same.
