How to get to the beach?

  • At the turnoff on the main road, there is a sign with the inscription Zografou and Bahia beach.
  • Shortly after the turn, you will come to a barrier and the entrance to the Porto Elea camp, continue to the right on a winding dirt road for about 2km.
  • Near the beach, along the way, you will see many parked cars, and there is parking by the beach, but it is often overcrowded due to high visitation.

Detailed description of the beach:

The beach is small and completely covered with sunbeds and umbrellas, leaving little space for personal equipment, but of course, it can be found.

  • The beach is very intriguing and somewhat exotic, nestled between high cliffs, giving it a hidden and sheltered feel.
  • The Bahia bar is large and well-appointed with plenty of comfortable seating sets, bar tables, and chairs…
  • Sunbeds and umbrellas are closely arranged, with comfortable canopies and sofas for relaxation.
  • This beach attracts many young people because the music in the bar is loud during the season.
  • The beach has showers and toilets.
  • There is fine gravel both on the shore and in the water, with a gradual depth but no shallows, so we do not recommend this beach for families with small children, and if you do not like crowds, it is better to avoid it on weekends.
  • The water in the entire area, which is quite wild and less exploited, is very rich in marine life, so if you are a fan of snorkeling and diving, Bahia could be the perfect place for you.
  • Unlike most famous beaches in Sithonia with turquoise water, Bahia has an emerald green hue due to the lush vegetation in the background, giving it a special charm.
  • In the afternoon, there is plenty of natural shade, and it is also characterized by very small coves nearby that can be easily reached by swimming.

All in all, the beach is very unusual and interesting, and in our opinion, absolutely worth recommending.
