Laguna, which is a must visit for any self-respecting tourist!

On the coast of the Greek island of Thassos splash of water a small, but very beautiful lagoon. This natural swimming pool called Giola, it is separated from the sea by a narrow stone bridge.

Laguna Giola included in the list of the most beautiful places on the planet. But, oddly enough, it is marked not on all the tourist maps of the island of Thassos. The island itself is also extremely beautiful. Fancy ridges towering the mountains and valleys are surrounded by greenery. Coastal waters are fascinating deep-blue and pristine purity. Even in the Halkidiki Peninsula near the resort on the mainland — not happen to see such beauty.
 
From the nearby village of Astris to get to Giola lagoon for quite some time, but the indefatigable tourists will be rewarded with the opportunity to swim in the clear, sun warmed water. Here you can drive in a rental car. Rocky groomed road will lead travellers to the coast of the island, where for about one kilometre will have to walk.

The rounded shape of the lagoon, reminiscent of the shell of the oyster, facing the narrow end toward the sea. During a storm the waves gush over the jumper and fill the reservoir with sea water. The depth of the lagoon is small, only two to three meters. At the bottom of a layer of fine sand as if specially laid in concentric circles. Only closer to the mouth of the lagoon under water, is seen an assemblage of smooth boulders.
 
In the sea behind the rocky barrier, the water shimmers turquoise shades, but in the lagoon it continuously saves emerald green color. The water is so transparent that it seems like people floating just floating in the air.

Travelers fall in love with in absentia is a great place for pictures on the Internet. Impossible to resist the desire to behold the beauty of the emerald lagoon with my own eyes. And to plunge into the soft warmth of the crystal clear water is heavenly bliss!

The shores of the lagoon are built of massive stones with sharp edges, therefore, to tread them with caution. But the pleasure of bathing will surpass all the disadvantages associated with the difficulties of the road.

For lovers of secluded romantic places stay near Giola lagoon, is the perfect choice.
