Kariani – a trip to pure nature with wonderful, hospitable locals

Kariani is a seaside resort  located approximately 40km from the capital of the region, Kavala. It has one of the most beautiful and clean seas  with golden beaches and rich beds*. What makes this place worth-visiting is the way it combines peacefulness and chances to have a great social life as you can visit fabulous beach bars, local taverns, restaurants, clubs and archaeological sites.

Fishing and swimming activities next to the beach houses can provide you a very pleasant morning before you visit a local beach bar.You will certainly have the opportunity to do many water sports there with your friends and people you will meet. (And if you are lucky enough you will also meet Athena, the famous, local tzak Russel terrier that always stays next to people playing  beach tennis and brings the ball back to them all day long!).

After swimming I strongly recommend-without second thoughts- to taste fish food with local ouzo and tsipouro next to the sea. During night time you can stay on the beach, light a fire, grill and listen to beautiful music under the moon light where you can also share moments with local hospitable Macedonians. Gentle, simple, pure, generous, always smiling warmly, outspoken, loving everything they turn their hand to. Economic crisis has never found any place in their hearts and they know how to share moments with you. That is what is worth the most in this travel!
