Freezing Water and Grass Ruin Greek Vacation: Serbian Woman Fears Her Holiday is Doomed
Imagine going on a vacation to Greece, expecting warm sun and sea, only to find freezing cold water and a beach covered in grass! That’s exactly what happened to a Serbian family in Perea, where the water is so cold that swimming is nearly impossible, and the beach is overrun with grass due to recent storms.
What’s going on in Perea?
A post by this woman on the popular Facebook group “Greece Info” sparked a flood of comments. Many advised her to visit other beaches, like Epanomi, 18 kilometers away, where the water is warmer and the beach is nicer. Others say this is just a temporary situation that will improve in a day or two.
She described the water as so cold that even she, who is sensitive to cold, couldn’t swim, and her husband, who is not sensitive, called it an “ice bath.” Additionally, the beach is covered with grass due to the storm, which many find unpleasant and a spoil to their holiday.
A flood of comments and criticism
Some say the grass is a natural occurrence and not dirt, but others are harsh critics. One group member slammed Serbian tourists who have been buying apartments in Perea and praising the place without basis. They say it’s a shame to waste a holiday there when Greece has so many beautiful places like Peloponnese, Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, and Crete.
Another user pointed out that most tourists only go to Halkidiki and the Olympic region because of proximity, but Greece is huge and offers many beautiful beaches with lower prices.
Is this a temporary problem or a new reality?
Some tourists shared bad experiences, including a couple who left Greece after two days because their holiday was ruined by poor conditions. On the other hand, some believe the situation will quickly improve and that this is just the aftermath of a storm that hit shortly before their arrival.
Conclusion
If you’re planning a vacation in Greece, maybe think twice before booking accommodation in Perea. Freezing water and grass on the beach are not what you expect from a Mediterranean paradise. Luckily, Greece is vast and has many beautiful spots to enjoy, you just need to know where to go.
