The town of Epanomi is approximately 25 kilometers from the city center of Thessaloniki, making the beach easily accessible for locals and tourists alike.

The beach is known for its wide sandy areas and shallow waters near the shore, which make it particularly warm and suitable for bathing.

Some parts are bustling with activity, while others are quieter and more secluded. A notable feature of the beach is a shipwreck that can be seen from the shore, and the beach also offers stunning views of Mount Olympus, adding to its natural beauty.

However, visitors should be mindful of littering as there is a reported lack of garbage cans on the beach.

The beach is accessible by both car and bus. Epanomi is connected to the east side of Thessaloniki through line 69 of the Thessaloniki Urban Transport Organization and its sub-lines, and there are also other bus lines that connect Epanomi with different areas in Thessaloniki.
