Sani is the first place on the western coast when viewed from the direction of Thessaloniki, located 70 km away. Above all, it is known for the famous hotel complex Sani Resort, which was the largest in the whole of Greece for many years. This luxurious complex consists of several hotels and facilities along a beautiful beach, including a beautifully landscaped park, a large marina for luxury yachts, and a church.
The Sani Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Kassandra. The sea is stunning and turquoise, while the sand is whitish, fine, and soft as flour. The shallow waters extend far, making this beach a paradise for families with children.
Unfortunately, the majority of the beach is only accessible to hotel guests. The once popular Anemos Beach Bar is no longer in operation, and the facility itself is closed. This part of the coast is still accessible but strictly as a free beach for those who come with their own equipment and umbrellas.
- There is also the only free parking area, but during the season, you need to arrive quite early as it is fully booked by 9:00.
The hotel parking is charged, and during the season, the only free parking space is often located 400-500m away from the beach.
Beach bars and sunbeds for external visitors (visitors who are not guests of Sani Resort)
External visitors have access to beach bars like Bousoulas Beach Bar (in front of Sani Beach Hotel) and Sani Dunes Beach Bar (in front of Sani Dunes Hotel). Reservations for sunbeds and umbrellas in advance are not possible; instead, spots are allocated upon arrival, depending on current availability.
- The price for a set (one umbrella and two sunbeds) is €80 at Bousoulas Beach,
- or €100 at Sani Dunes Beach (including a bottle of water), with each additional sunbed costing €10.
- All other food and drinks are charged separately.
Within the complex, there is a supermarket and a large number of taverns and restaurants that can be used by all visitors. Entrance to the complex is only charged during the peak season, but since hotel policies often change, this should be checked before visiting.
In general, Sani is considered a resort reserved for the wealthy class of society. The beach is beautiful, and it is a real shame that it is mostly accessible only to hotel guests, as the free part is much smaller and quite crowded, often leading to crowds. In this section, there is also a small space for visitors with their own equipment.
To the left of the Anemos cafe, facing the sea, there is a campsite.
From the beach, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
In the marina, you can rent a private yacht or boat with a captain and visit some of the most beautiful places in Kassandra, Athos, and Sithonia, and you will almost certainly see dolphins on that trip.
