From the expansive Armenistis to the sequestered Kryfos Paradeisos, each beach presents a unique experience, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the Mediterranean’s warm embrace and the captivating beauty of this enchanting region.
Armenistis, Sithonia
The ‘best beach in Halkidiki’, with thick, non-sticky sand, crystal-clear deep waters, and surrounded by pine trees, attracts plenty of visitors who come here for the eponymous campsite as well as the beach bar – both situated on the right side of the beach. If you prefer fewer people and more peace, head to the left end; the rocks there are perfect for diving.
Karydi, Sithonia
The turquoise waters and fine white sand are reminiscent of the Caribbean, and the lush green pine trees, and white rocks with glassy, translucent waters at both ends of the bay make this Instagrammable spot perfect for snorkelling. Karydi in Vourvourou rightfully ranks among the best beaches in Halkidiki. Opt for an early morning visit to avoid the crowds.
