With its car-free lakeside promenade and picturesque pastel-shaded buildings, the small town of Pella, reachable by car or by public boat from Orta, has a wonderful Mediterranean vibe.

​

You have to search them out but amongst all the private lakefront properties, the area also boasts several tiny public beaches dotting the shoreline. 

​

If you’re looking for excellent underwater visibility and clear crystalline waters - a gorgeous shade of turquoise/aquamarine on sunny days - a great spot is the area just south of town.

There are even dollops of course white sand forming occasional micro-beaches. If you don’t mind company, you can also sprawl out on one of the quaint wooden landing stages lining the coastline near Pella. Just be sure to arrive early to grab a space.

Parking

There is usually plenty of parking at the entrance to town.
