Karydi, Vourvourou / Exotic, sheltered from the wind, its white sand and the natural shade from the trees makes it special, and because it is calm, with shallow waters is ideal for families.
Kriaritsi, Sykia / Wild, rocky scenery, gold sand and blue-turquoise waters, perfect for camping. The access is difficult, but diving in the deep waters it’s worth it.
Trani Ammouda, Ormos Panagias / The remains of a tower in the background and Mount Athos right across it, combined with its white sand and blue waters has made it one of the most popular choices.
Armenistis, Sithonia / Equipped with sunbeds, beach bars and water sports, it stands out for its emerald waters, the golden sand and the verdant scenery, while it is included among the best choices for camping.
Alykes, Ammouliani / Transparent, pristine waters in turquoise and green hues, white sand and a verdant natural landscape are the reasons why this heavenly beach was awarded with a Blue Flag.
Komitsa, Mount Athos / Two beaches: one with amenities and a lot of people, the other ideal for loners. Both featuring turquoise waters, white sand and a view to the lush green scenery of Mount Athos.
