Platanitsi beach

Platanitsi is located approximately 3km north of Sarti. This is the first very beautiful beach you encounter when heading east along the coast from Sarti towards Vourvourou. The beach is part of the eponymous camp.

Brief information about the beach:

Location: approximately 3 km north of Sarti, within the camp Beach: about 550 m long, sandy both on the shore and in the water Sea: gradual depth, no long shallows, turquoise color Facilities: beach bar (sunbeds with consumption), showers, toilets, lifeguards Atmosphere: a combination of lively (bar) and quieter (free areas) Access: easily accessible, parking available for a fee in the camp or outside Special: right side is more beautiful and wider, natural shade, possible waves when windy

Beach access and parking:

The beach is well marked and you will easily spot the sign from the main road where you need to turn.
Entry is free for those who want to walk to the beach and the camp. If you want to enter by car and park in the camp, you need to pay an entrance fee of 3.5€.
There is parking available in front of and within the camp. If you park outside, there is a path through a beautiful forest of about 200 meters that leads from the entrance barrier to the beach, which you will walk.
The right path leads to Africafe, and the path straight ahead leads to the central part of the beach.

Beach bar:

Africafe is a very popular beach bar and quite crowded.
Sunbeds are provided with a drink order, but there is a minimum consumption of 25€ per set. The bar is nicely decorated, in light and pastel shades, with comfortable sofas for lounging.
What may be bothersome is the loud music, so the bar is not recommended for peace lovers and families with young children, but it is perfect for those who enjoy the beach with good, louder music and a lively atmosphere.

Detailed description of the beach:

Platanitsi is a large beach with plenty of space for those with their own equipment.

The beach has lifeguards, toilets, showers.

A channel runs through the middle of the beach, which usually dries up during the summer, and on the left side of the beach, there are mostly campers. Due to this, that part of the beach is narrower and has less space for other visitors. Behind the rocks on the left side, there are several smaller coves and one larger one where you can find seclusion.

The right part of the beach is more beautiful, wider, more visited, and there you can also find natural shade, so we recommend settling there.

The beach itself is about 550m long, sandy on both the shore and in the water. There are no long shallows, just a gradual depth suitable for swimmers. The color of the sand is light, so the sea is turquoise.

When there is wind, which happens relatively often, waves are created on the beach. Usually, there are waves at the same time as at the city beach in Sarti.

The beach is very beautiful, and in our opinion, one of the most beautiful on the eastern coast of Sithonia.

It is ideal to visit in June and September when there are fewer crowds, but definitely worth visiting during the peak season as well.

Since Sithonia has many beautiful beaches, we suggest that this one be among those you visit.
