Stavrós can be defined by its landscape and activities: a plane tree forest lies right by the sea, three beaches form a coastline of about seven kilometres in total along the Strymonian Gulf, and the town’s mountaineering association organises mountain races for people of all ages. One beach also has a solar-powered SeaTrack ramp, which gives people with reduced mobility safe and independent access to the sea. When deciding on your trip, you can therefore consider the coastal and forest landscape, a specific way to access the water, and an organised sporting activity as distinct highlights.

The coast and plane tree forest

Together, the three beaches form a coastline of about seven kilometres along the Strymonian Gulf. This lets you view the coast of Stavrós at two scales: as several beaches and as one continuous stretch along the gulf. This may make a difference when choosing a destination, depending on whether you are looking for a particular beach or the wider coastal landscape. The plane tree forest lies right by the sea, adding a forest setting to the coastal scenery. If the combination of these two landscapes matters to you, it is a specific reason to take a closer look at Stavrós.

A ramp at one of the beaches

One beach in Stavrós has a solar-powered SeaTrack ramp. It gives people with reduced mobility safe and independent access to the sea. Unlike the general description of the coast, this feature applies to a specific beach and provides a particular way to access the water. If you plan to use the ramp during your stay, please check before visiting whether it is currently in operation. This way, access to the beach remains a specific part of your plans rather than being treated as a general feature of all the beaches.

Mountain races as a reason to visit

The Stavrós mountaineering association organises mountain races for people of all ages. This adds an organised sporting activity to the landscape as a different reason to visit. If you are interested in a mountain race, you can also consider Stavrós for this activity. If a race is a key factor in your trip, check the specific date in advance before planning your travel around it. If the coast and plane tree forest matter more to your stay, you can weigh up these landscape features separately from a particular race date.

Choose your stay based on what matters to you

When looking for a hotel in Stavrós, it helps to first decide what matters most to you: the coastal and forest landscape, the SeaTrack ramp after checking that it is in operation, or a mountain race on a suitable date. These aspects lead to different considerations for your stay; they do not need to be combined into a single travel itinerary.
