Immediately below the city beach is Porto Carras, super luxury yacht club in northern Aegean, located in the bay behind the big luxury hotels. In the restaurants and crowded shops you can listen Greek ethno music. In the market trade you can find olives, domestic wines, ouzo, almonds, Continental vegetables, Mediterranean and tropical fruits, spices and local cheeses.
