Since opening its doors in 2015, El Mar Pool Bar has established itself as one of the most popular summer destinations on the western outskirts of Thessaloniki. Located at the 14th km of the Old Thessaloniki–Edessa National Road, within the beautifully landscaped grounds of Hotel Perinthos, it offers visitors the feeling of a holiday escape without the need to travel far from the city.

With two swimming pools, comfortable relaxation areas, quality food and drinks, and a strong commitment to excellent service, El Mar has become a favourite choice for families, couples and anyone looking to enjoy a carefree summer day.

A relaxed setting surrounded by nature

Designed to inspire peace and relaxation, El Mar combines elegant lounge areas, comfortable sunbeds and beautifully maintained gardens to create an inviting atmosphere from the moment guests arrive.

The tranquil surroundings offer a genuine escape from the pace of everyday life, while the venue’s close proximity to Thessaloniki makes it an ideal destination for spontaneous day trips throughout the summer.

Two swimming pools for all ages

At the heart of El Mar are its two well-maintained swimming pools.

The main adults’ pool, measuring 25 metres in length with a depth of 1.75–1.80 metres, is perfect both for swimming and for simply cooling off on warm summer days.

A separate children’s pool allows younger guests to enjoy the water safely, making El Mar an ideal destination for families.

Safety is a top priority, with two qualified lifeguards on duty throughout the day, ensuring visitors can relax with complete peace of mind.

Family-Friendly by design

El Mar has been thoughtfully created with families in mind.

A dedicated children’s playground, complete with swings and outdoor activities, keeps younger visitors entertained, while volleyball and beach tennis courts provide additional fun for guests of all ages.

The venue is also a popular choice for children’s birthday parties, thanks to its safe environment, spacious grounds and wide range of recreational facilities.

Refreshments and flavours to suit every taste

The impressive central bar is one of El Mar’s standout features, serving an extensive selection of coffees, fresh juices, soft drinks, refreshing beverages, premium spirits and expertly prepared cocktails throughout the day.

The poolside kitchen complements the experience with a varied menu designed to satisfy every appetite, from morning through to early evening.

Guests can choose from juicy burgers, freshly prepared baguettes filled with gyros or crispy chicken bites, pizzas, hot dogs, club sandwiches, fresh salads and a tempting selection of desserts. Colourful fruit salads provide a lighter option for those seeking something refreshing beside the pool.

Vegetarian and vegan dishes are also available, ensuring that every guest can enjoy a meal tailored to their individual preferences.

Premium ice cream for the perfect summer treat

No summer day would be complete without ice cream, and El Mar proudly serves the renowned Kayak range.

Made with 100% fresh milk and available in ten delicious flavours, these premium ice creams have become a favourite among both children and adults alike.

Outstanding value without compromising on quality

One of the reasons behind El Mar’s enduring popularity is its commitment to combining excellent quality with affordable prices.

Whether enjoying a coffee, a light snack or a full meal, guests appreciate the venue’s competitive pricing alongside attentive, friendly service. The extensive menu ensures there is something to suit every taste and every budget.

From relaxing family days to evening celebrations

El Mar Pool Bar welcomes guests daily from 10:00 am until 8:00 pm, offering the perfect setting for a full day of swimming, relaxation and family fun.

Once the pools close, the venue often transforms into a stylish location for bachelor and bachelorette celebrations, providing a lively yet elegant atmosphere for unforgettable evening events.

The perfect summer escape just minutes from Thessaloniki

El Mar Pool Bar offers far more than a place to swim.

It is a complete summer destination where relaxation, safety, delicious food and entertainment come together in one beautifully designed setting. With its two swimming pools, family-friendly facilities, wide selection of food and drinks, attentive service and excellent value, it has deservedly earned its reputation as one of the area’s leading family leisure destinations.

For anyone looking to enjoy the atmosphere of a summer holiday without leaving Thessaloniki behind, El Mar Pool Bar delivers everything needed for the perfect day out.
