White sand and turquoise water are the key ingredients to Monastir's beaches. The most obvious choice would be to head straight to Karaia (Qaraiya) beach, which is one of the focal points of the city. However, it does get very busy in high season. For those willing to venture a little further afield for some R&R, the beaches of Sousse such as Bou Jaafar and Las Vegas Beach are particularly beautiful. The coast between Monastir and Sousse is a bit more utilitarian but could prove to be an interesting adventure as the locals will often come there to cast a fishing line on the beaches and for all horse lovers, there is riding and racing further inland at the Monastir Hippodrome and the Eki Club. Just beware that there is not a lot of shade on offer along the waterfront, so be sure to pack the SPFs.

Originally a German settlement, Greektown transformed in the early 20th century into a vibrant Greek neighborhood. Over time, as residents moved out, the area became a bustling commercial district, rich in Greek-themed restaurants, stores, and cafés. Today, Greektown is a must-visit destination for its delicious cuisine, lively atmosphere, and a taste of Greek culture in the heart of Detroit.

The Alcazaba of Badajoz is the city's historic fortress that once served as the home of the Taifa kings. As the city's former defensive structure, it is surrounded by several towers, as well as the Guadiana River, much to the visual delight of visitors.

Agias Beach is a wide, pebble beach located east of Patras, forming a sheltered bay that offers protection from the wind. The waters are notably deep and clear, though the shore is covered with large pebbles. Facilities are basic, with a few kiosks for snacks and drinks, showers, and toilets. It is a popular and often busy local spot, with parking available but frequently full during peak hours. The adjacent Elos Agiyas park provides a green, shaded area just behind the shore.
