A lovely walk

I first saw a picture of this place on a postcard whilst wandering down the sea front one evening during my holiday in Pefkochori. I went into the shop to ask whereabouts this picturesque place was and was given the directions. The lady said it was about 2 km. However, another person said it was about 5km. A couple of days later I set off in the morning as I thought it would be a bit cooler to go then. It seemed to take me ages to get there, but how lovely when I did. It was a very quiet place, a lake used as a marina for small boats, with a small opening to the sea. I walked halfway round the lake to the sea opening and made my way leisurely back via the beach (and an iced coffee at the beach bar) and the quiet back road. A lovely picturesque walk.

    Deliberately Overcrowded
    We have been visiting Glarokavos Beach Bar for years and we always kind of know what to expect. Every beach bar on the1st ''leg'' - peninsula of Chalkidiki can get really crowded during the summer. Glarokavos combines a good beach with nice waters - usually not that warm and a good quality in services. This year however, customer service has turned out to be their weakest point. We tried to be proactive and made a reservation for 4 people on the previous day of our visit. We arrived very early - 12:30pm and we were shocked to realise that the man in charge gave us half an umbrella and only 2 beach beds - saying that when our friends arrive they will give us 2 small seats. Half an umbrella meant that practically we had to sit together with 4 other people ( exactly like sharing a table in a restaurant). Prices were high and customer service not friendly as it should be. In order to access the sea you had to walk a log circle around the bar as the sand was literally blocked by seats and beach beds. Very very unpleasant experience. I do not think I will visit Glarokavos soon again.
