I am going to Greece at the end of July for a conference held in Thessaloniki (Salonica). I know the coast in that city is pretty polluted (or so I have read) and would like the chance to see the beautiful blue clear water I have always seen in pictures associated with Greece. I am interested in places to stay and beaches, both on the mainland and the islands. So, if you have been to Greece, what do you recoommend?
I went to two islands of greece: crete and corfu the environment there was very nice with blue water but I can't help you with information about the mainland sorry
I've been to greece three times as well: crete, rhodos and somewhere else on the mainland. I actually never saw polluted water in Greece, it probably isn't that hard to find a nice beach. Just don't go near big cities(like Athens,the traffic is terrible over there ), i'm guessing beaches are more polluted there.
havent been to Thesalonika have been to most of the Aegean tho my parents have been there and never mentioned polluted water think you may have been misinformed on that one

The item I read stated that there is pollution in the harbor and area around the city from sewage seeping into the water and waste run off. I hope I have been misinformed!!!
Thanks everyone for suggestions!
Let's see there was Corfu, Meg, Athens, the Acropolis, a plane ride, a boat ride, a slow train, a few islands (can't remember the names... maybe Naxos?), pork, Janice, lamb, no beef - great feta cheese. Ended with deck passage from Patras to Brindisi - I remember waking up really cold on a box in the car port - must have been a ferry.
Guess I'll have to go back and take pictures to review later.
