Best place for walking, jogging or cycling
The part of the beach between White Tower and Concert Hall is one of the best places in Thessaloniki to walk, run or ride a bike. There aren't so many people as at the part between the port and the White Tower and it's much more wide. There are some parks and playgrounds between the beach and the Megalou Alexandrou avenue, so it's also a good place for families with young children who want to find a place for their kids to play.
On that part of the beach are also two artistic creations: the staue of Alexander the Great, near the White Tower and a modern artistic creation of Zoggolopoulos, which is commonly known as the "Umbrellas", near the Makedonia Palace Hotel.
During the last week of May at the part of the beach between the White Tower and the Makedonia Palace Hotel is held the Book Festival, where local publishers exhibit their books in outdoor kiosks.
