Akti Retzika

Everything was great. For every recommendation!!! Peace and quiet in the camp, lots of shade. A beautiful long beach where there are no crowds. All recommendations for those who want a pleasant and peaceful vacation. Local seafood for every recommendation !!!

I will try to make a review of the campsite as fair as possible. The campsite is located in the Epanomi area, close to Thessaloniki.   The area is quite flat, generally with farms and small towns, not too many trees. The roads are pretty bad, like everywhere else in Greece. The campsite also has a hotel, and some very nice bungalows. The camping site has quite large individual places, but unfortunately with a sandy/muddy ground and everything fills with dust. The grass is long gone. Two bathrooms at the two ends of the campground, each with 3 showers and 3 toilet cubicles.  A woman always cleans them.  Outside, two places where you can wash the dishes and two for washing clothes.  One problem is that they put the sinks with the mirrors inside where the toilet cubicles are and it doesn't really suit you to brush your teeth or shave and people are doing their things a meter away, with loud noises. At the exit from the camp, you cross the dusty and potholed road and reach the beach. The beach is ordinary, with fine sand, it has sunbeds and umbrellas that are free with something ordered from the beach bar, but no one forces you to order.  The beach bar is very ok and the staff is helpful and kind.  The sea is not deep but not very nice colour, you walk about 50 meters with water up to your waist.   A good beach and sea for children. There was also an ok bar and a restaurant that doesn't have a great selection of food, but the prices are a bit steep, considering that there is nothing around for a few kilometers. 7 Km away there is a Lidl and on the way to the campsite there are several stalls with fresh and very good fruit and vegetables at a low price. As a conclusion, the campsite is ok for someone with children on a low budget. The camping price was €30 for 2 people and €40 for 3 people. Out of 5 stars I give it two, but this is my personal opinion. The staff works very hard, they are very kind, except for one lady who says she is the owner, but it seems she is only the manager.  This lady wanted me to pay 5€ a day to park an inflatable boat in my camping spot.  In the end, she stopped charging me, but she speaks badly to the customers and was rude to me a couple of times. I will not go there anymore. I've seen some very nice camp sites in Sithonia I want to try next.
