Timari Beach is a hidden treasure on the road to Kavala Airport, a destination that steps off the beaten track. It is a haven of tranquility with fine sand, clean, shallow waters, and a unique sense of seclusion. It is the ideal choice for those who want to relax away from the crowds, yet still have the convenience of a nearby beach bar.
Story Behind It
The name "Timari" originates from the Ottoman period and means "fiefdom" or "hereditary estate". According to history, this unique strip of land, situated between the sea and the Nestos lagoons, was considered a valuable estate due to its strategic location and natural wealth.
Today, Timari remains a "fiefdom of nature", functioning as a serene wetland hosting incredible wildlife.
Why We Love It
We love Timari because its location is completely unique. The beach is essentially created between the open sea and the lagoons located right behind it, forming a virgin landscape that hosts rare bird species. It is a spot where you can hear the sound of the sea without being disturbed, combining easy access with an exotic, wild vibe.
Fresh Tips
- If you plan to stay until dusk, it is essential to bring mosquito repellent spray due to the nearby lagoons.
- Visit early in the morning when the calmness and the moisture of the wetland create an almost mystical atmosphere.
- Don't forget to look towards the lagoon, especially during migration seasons, to observe rare bird species.
