We have extensively described Mega Portokali beach here, but we must add a few more words from our personal experience.

The color of the sea and the surroundings make it, for us, the most beautiful beach in Halkidiki. As we slowly descend through the coniferous forest from the parking lot (main road), every time we are left breathless when we catch sight of the sea. Why? Because the color is unbelievably blue in multiple shades, shimmering and refracting in a way that makes you want to just stop and observe.

The beach itself (the sandy part) is small and can accommodate a small number of visitors, and crowds quickly form, especially in July and August. This does not deter us from visiting because it is surrounded by a forest where we can always find a place for ourselves. It is certainly better to arrive early. In our opinion, the most beautiful part of the forest is to the left of the beach or right above it. We always make an effort to find enough flat space to set up our beach towels, and often a parasol is not even necessary.

• The view from the forest on the hill is fantastic.

When we settle in, as a rule, first we gaze for a long, long time at that beautiful Aegean, the wonderful and transparent sea, bathers enjoying themselves…

There used to be a canteen and stairs leading to the sea, but now the canteen is closed and neglected, and the stairs do not exist.

• Getting to the water requires descending a very steep and precarious path, which is not easy if you are with children.

The smell of pine trees, the coolness, the cicadas, the beautiful sea, and the murmur of satisfied visitors make the stay at this still wild beach relaxing and pleasant.
