Paralia Ammoudara — Attraction in Municipality of Agios Nikolaos

When you think of sun and sea, you think of Greece.

Greece, paradise, is the magic of the endless blue. But how does the sea benefit us?

The blue colour:

It is no coincidence that blue is one of the top colours that interior decorators and designers use. The colour of the deep sea has the ability to calm the human spirit and offers a sense of security.

The waves:

The sound of the sea is easy for the brain to process and creates a soft focus. In particular, the white noise of the waves crashing relaxes our brain and stimulates the production of body’s feel-good chemicals including serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. They promote positive feelings like pleasure, happiness, and even love.

Reconnection with the Earth:

The sensory experience of the sand between your toes connects you with the Earth. Also, besides the natural exfoliation your feet get from the sand, walking on the beach provides considerably more exercise than walking on a flatter surface. This is because your body is constantly counter-balancing the uneven surface of the sand, effectively working your calves, thighs, and gluteal muscles, without you even realising it.

The sunlight:

Vitamin D, also known as “the vitamin of the sun”, improves positive psychological well-being and can also help to regulate moods. Studies have shown that low levels of vitamin D were linked to higher levels of depression and anxiety.

The power of water:

Water is one of the most important symbols of humanity and is associated with the unconscious. Being in a relaxed, meditative state is linked to lower stress levels, improved mental clarity, relief from mild anxiety, and improved mood.

Physical health benefits:

Swimming in the sea gives you a full body workout and improves circulation. Studies have shown that the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in seawater produce antibiotic and antibacterial effects that promote immunity. Furthermore, swimming in warm seawater activates the body’s healing mechanisms to fight conditions such as asthma, arthritis, bronchitis and inflammatory diseases, as well as common aches and pains.

Breathing:

Those who suffer from asthma, severe cough, phlegm and other respiratory problems should go to the beach to breathe the breeze. The salt water helps eliminate toxins and other elements that...

Today we went to a beach near Agios Nikolaus, more precisely to Paralia Ammoudara. The beach is not very big, it has three rows of umbrellas. Sunbeds and umbrellas are free for a consumption of at least 5 euros per sunbed. We were pleasantly impressed by the quality of the food we ordered, it was really tasty. The beach is located in a bay, in the water you can feel temperature differences from the sea currents, on the surface the water is colder, below the water is warmer. All in all we felt very good at this beach, a plus being the fact that there are some parking...
