Going to the beach.
خلفية ثقافية
For Athenians, 'going to the sea' often means driving to the 'Athenian Riviera' (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni). It's a weekly ritual to escape the city's concrete heat. On the islands, the sea is everywhere. 'Πάμε στη θάλασσα' might imply going to a specific remote beach by boat (kaiki). There is a dedicated group of Greeks who go to the sea all year round. They believe it's great for health. Going to the sea almost always involves the sound of wooden rackets. It's the unofficial national sport of the Greek beach.
The 'ν' rule
Don't worry too much about the 'ν' at the end of 'στην'. Most Greeks drop it before 'θ', so 'στη θάλασσα' sounds more natural.
Sun Protection
If you say 'Πάμε στη θάλασσα', make sure you actually have 'αντηλιακό' (sunscreen). The Greek sun is stronger than it looks!
