I'm surprised θάλασσα isn't on the list, because there aren't any oceans around Greece, and to say "let's go to the beach" in Greek you generally say, "Ας πάμε στη θάλασσα" which means "let's go to the sea".

Thank you for adding this to the list! I hear the word θάλασσα a lot in Greece, and the word for beach, too, which is on the original list.
