Kavourotripes coast - Paradise - Sithonia beaches

Kavourotripes translates to “crab holes” and it is an excellent description for this part of the coast in Sithonia. The coast bearing the name Kavourotripes is about 5km long and on this stretch, there are a large number of smaller or larger coves among the rocks.

The most famous cove is Orange, or Portokali (orange), which got its name from the bar located on it.

To the right of Orange beach, there are another four to five beautiful small coves with fine white sand and white, rounded rocks.

The beach Mega Portokali, which is becoming increasingly popular, also belongs to the Kavourotripes coast. If you are of adventurous spirit, you can embark on exploration and discover several more harder-to-reach coves of enchanting beauty and characteristic turquoise waters.

Kavourotripes Paradise (Dukina Beach)

We present to you two coves officially named Kavourotripes Paradise, but more commonly known to us as Dukina Beach. In fact, these are two coves divided by a rocky promontory.
When driving from the town of Vourvourou towards the south, Kavourotripes Paradise is located in front of Mega Portokali Beach. There is a signboard indicating the beach on the expansion beside the main road.
The road to the beach is a dusty, unpaved path where in some parts you can only drive at 20 km/h. At the end of the road, there is a parking area, but you can also park along the road.
If you are driving from Sarti towards Vourvourou, you will first come across Orange Beach, and after 8km, the turnoff to Kavourotripes Paradise Beach.
Next to the main road, there is a parking area where there are usually a few parked cars, which can serve as a guide.

Beach Access:

From the parking area, you must walk to the beach and simply follow the path through the grove. The beach is only a 3-4 minute walk away and not too steep.
As you approach the beach, you will first see the unbelievably turquoise sea, which becomes more and more beautiful the closer you get to the beach. What awaits you at the end of the path is truly a beautiful reward for your efforts.

Detailed Beach Description:

You will come across two coves, and it is difficult to determine which one is more beautiful. Everything in these coves is enchanting, starting with the color of the water, then the fine sand, the long shallow waters, followed by the smooth white rocks, and the beautifully green environment of tall pine trees.
Of course, there is also an indescribable peace due to the distance from the main road and traffic.
On the left cove, which is larger and more beautiful, but partly on the right as well, there are sunbeds and umbrellas set up, leaving very little space for those who have their own equipment. Above the beach, there is a canteen with fast food and drinks.
Both on the left and right, there are lovely flat, white rocks where you can sunbathe.
Just to the left of the canteen, facing the sea, there is a small cove, just enough for two, where you can secure a spot early in the morning and be alone.
If you wish to be secluded, you can also climb to a plateau on the rocks above the beach, find a nice spot in the shade of the pine trees, and enjoy the peace and wonderful view.
There are no showers or changing cabins on the beach, but there is a Toi-Toi toilet next to the parking area.
In the afternoon, there is plenty of natural shade due to the high rocks behind the beach.
