Sykia beach

When we first visited Sikia, it was not clear to us how anyone could vacation in such a small village without any amenities. After spending a month in the south of Sithonia, we realized that Sikia is the perfect choice for a vacation in Sithonia!

It is important to distinguish between Sikia as a village and Sikia on the beach.

About Sikia on the beach:

Location: south of Sithonia, 2km from the coast (village)
Type of place: peaceful, with few amenities
Beach: long (1.5km), sandy, Blue Flag
Suitable for: families and nature lovers
Advantage: close to the most beautiful beaches of Sithonia
Disadvantage: lack of natural shade

Detailed description:

Sikia (inland) is actually the largest place in Sithonia, located 2km from the coast.

Sikia on the beach, however, is a very small place, actually a large beach with a few accommodation facilities along the beach, a minimarket, a restaurant, and a pizzeria.

The beach itself is very long (about 1.5km) and wide, with fine sand both on the shore and in the water.

It holds the Blue Flag, it is very shallow in some parts, ideal for families with children, while in most parts it gradually deepens, without a long shallow area.

Its only downside is the lack of natural shade anywhere, and toilets and showers are only available at the beach bars.

Sikia is in an excellent position and the best beaches of Sithonia are just a few kilometers away.

Beaches around Sikia

And if it existed alone, it would be reason enough to vacation in Sikia. But just a 3-4 minute walk away is a beautiful cove:

Linaraki
Limanaki
Tourkolimnionas

From the last, third cove, you can continue by car, and after a two to three minute drive, you reach one of the most beautiful beaches in Sithonia called Klimataria.

If you continue to drive for another 4-5 minutes, you will come across three fantastic coves called Tigania. These coves are our favorites in the south of Sithonia.

And it doesn’t end there. Just behind the cape, there is a very long, wide, and sandy beach called Kriaritsi with its two coves. All these beaches are to the right of the large central beach of Sikia and are all very beautiful.

Several of these coves also have good restaurants, the most famous being “5 Steps in the Sand” at Pigadaki Cove.

The list of beaches right next to Sikia does not end here.

To the left of Sikia, beaches line up:

Griavas
Valti
Agridia

The characteristic of the beaches in this area is that there is no crowd even in the peak season, and they are not arranged along the entire length, thus providing enough space for visitors with their own equipment.

Looking at Sikia in a slightly wider context, the famous Kalamitsi beach, considered by many to be the most beautiful in the whole of Halkidiki, is very close. Sarti is only 8km away, and numerous beaches around Sarti are 7-12km away (Platanitsi, Orange, Mega Portokali, Kavurotripes Paradise).
