Orange beach is not only the most famous beach of Sithonia, but probably of the entire Halkidiki. This specific coast, which you will find on maps under different names - Orange beach, Kavourotripes or Portokali - is recognizable by its turquoise sea (Sithonian blue) and sculptures in white rocks.

• Beach type: fine white sand and smooth white rocks
• Water: intense turquoise, long shallow water (about 30 m)
• Natural shade: some in the pine trees above the coves (bring an umbrella)
• Facilities: beach bar in the central cove, Toi Toi toilets
• Showers and cabins: not available
• Parking: available inland (poor road, heavy traffic in the season)
• Tip: arrive early in the morning due to limited space

White sand and Sithonian blue - tips for visiting

This beach is truly indescribable, and you must see the color of the water to believe that such turquoise exists. The sea is transparent, with fine sand scattered on the bottom. Comprised of several smaller and larger coves, this beach offers a lot to explore.

• Orange beach is organized and has sunbeds and umbrellas.
• Since it is very small, there are considerable crowds on the shore during the season.
• However, the water is shallow for the first 30 meters, so there is almost no crowd in the water.
• Since there are not enough sunbeds, and there is little shade under the trees, we recommend bringing your own umbrella for this beach during most of the season.
• There are no showers and changing cabins on the beach.
• There are Toi Toi toilets.

Our advice is to arrive early at Orange beach, swim and enjoy for a few hours, and then visit a more organized and spacious beach.

The color of the sand and water is particularly striking, so if you visit the beach at the right time, it will surely remain in your most beautiful memories.

Access and parking

The beach is located 10 km north of Sarti and you should pay attention to the turn towards the beach as it is not very well marked.

When you turn, you have a few hundred meters of driving on a bad road. Orange beach is very popular, and during the peak season, you will have trouble finding parking space, as well as a place for your towel and umbrella, especially if you arrive a little later.

Difference between coves: where to swim?

Kavourotripes is actually a five-kilometer-long coast, and on that stretch, there are many small coves with white sand and turquoise sea. If you explore the coast in this part, you may come across fantastic small coves - beaches.

• Orange beach (Portokali): This is the central and most famous cove, named after the bar located there. It is the only organized one, with sunbeds and umbrellas, but due to its popularity, it is the most crowded.
• Right next to it is Mega Portokali: you can easily reach it from Orange beach, with a leisurely walk through the pine forest.
• Other coves: Immediately next to the Orange cove, there are smaller unorganized places. Here, there is enough space to set up your own equipment, either on the sand, on flat rocks, or in the shade of the pines slightly above the shore.
