THINGS TO DO IN POTIDEA

BLUE DIVING CENTER

Blue Diving Center in Potidea is a PADI diving center which will welcome all types of divers – from the total novices to the extremely experienced ones who came here in order to rent the equipment.

The place offers underwater training for all levels of proficiency. The place`s role is to enlarge the participants` knowledge concerning scuba diving. The place offers training for the youngest divers who are 8 years old – the course is called Bubble Maker – as well as for the toddlers who are 10 years old – Discover Scuba Diving.

Most of the programs consist of two phases – theoretical one which is immediately followed by the practical phase. The programs are conducted by qualified and skilled instructors who have been diving for more than 20 years. The participants will be able to explore the underwater world as well as watch numerous fish and crustaceans species in their natural environment.

MARINA TAVERN

The tavern which stands out among all the rest, thanks to a first-class location, design-mag décor, and award-winning seafood. There`s also an impressive wine collection that tops 250 bottles – just ask and they`ll match your dish with the perfect wine.

BAYAMO BAR

This smart spot overlooks the water, so it`s a great place to watch the sunset with a chilled glass of rose. It`s got a bit of a nautical chic look going on, with white-painted wooden chairs, stripy cushions, and huge lanterns. The sleek white bar is massive, so you won`t have to worry about elbowing your way to the front.

CHOW DOWN ON NET-FRESH SEAFOOD

Being a seaside town. Nea Potidea does a great line in freshly netted fish. The best place to get some is at one of the harbor-side tavernas. Watch the fishing boats coming and going with their daily catch, then order the dish of the day – straight from the ocean to your plate.

TREAD THE STREETS OF THEASSALONIKI

Greece`s second city is an hour`s drive away, and it`s well worth the trip. Start the day off with a nose around the Basilica of Sant Demetrios – Greece`s biggest church – then amble around the old quarter`s cobbled lanes. Label lovers should make a beeline for Tsmiski Street – it`s packed with designer boutiques.
