What is the beach like in Kalithea?

The beach in Kalithea is known for its long shallow waters and turquoise, crystal-clear, and very clean sea. The beauty of this beach is almost indescribable and provides great enjoyment, especially for children.

The right side of the beach (facing the sea) is occasionally rocky and more suitable for younger people and those who prefer less crowded areas, while the central and left parts of the beach are perfect for families with children.

Since it is located on a hill next to the main road, getting to the beach in Kalithea involves going downhill, which can be challenging, especially for families with young children or individuals with reduced mobility. This is something to consider when choosing a holiday destination. If your accommodation is not directly on the beach, you can reach it on foot (using the stairs) or by car.

Kalithea is also an excellent base for exploring both sides of Kassandra, as it is in close proximity to Siviri, as well as Polichrono, Hanioti, and other attractive places.

Kalithea is a great choice for a holiday in Kassandra.
