Beaches nearby Nikiti

Nikiti is located in the best position for exploring Sithonia. It is only about a hundred kilometers away from Thessaloniki, so it is also in a good location in terms of distance from Serbia.

Beaches in Nikiti:

Town Beach (left of the port)

One is to the left of the port facing the sea and that is the town beach which is very long and stretches for over two kilometers towards Neos Marmaras.
The beach is mostly sandy, with some parts having rocks in the water. The most beautiful part of the beach is the very beginning, near the dock, and the second half of the beach near the Saint George cafe. The part near the cafe has fine sand both on the shore and in the water and gradually deepens.
This part of the beach is wider than the beach in front of the cafe, less crowded, and offers some natural shade.

Beach to the right of the port

The town beach to the right of the dock is also long but narrower.
The sand here is darker in color so the sea color is not as beautiful as in the rest of Sithonia.

Beaches towards Neos Marmaras:

If you head towards Neos Marmaras, you will encounter a large number of beaches, some of which are among the most beautiful in Sithonia.

First, you come across the Castri beach which is not the most beautiful, but suitable for those who want small popular beaches and less crowd.
At 5km from Nikiti towards Marmaras, you will find the Agios Ioannis beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Sithonia, followed by Koviou beach (6km), Kalogria beach (7km), and Spathies beach, small and large (8km). Koviou and Kalogria are on the list of the most beautiful beaches in Sithonia.
About 10 kilometers from Nikiti, somewhere halfway to Marmaras, you will find the Elia beach, 2km long. This beach is narrow, undeveloped, interrupted by capes and rocks, and certainly not one of the most beautiful in Sithonia. We advise you to just drive by them because it is located in a very beautiful area, full of pine trees.
Right after Elia, 14km from Nikiti, you will find the Lagomandra beach. Known for its abundance of natural shade and high attendance, it is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sithonia. Arrive early to this beach to enjoy the deep shade and avoid the crowds, and also to find an easier parking spot.
The next beach is the lesser-known Tripotamos beach which consists of two parts. The undeveloped part without crowds and the developed part in front of the Castello camp. This beach is not very crowded and is suitable for those who do not want a crowded beach.
Paradisos beach is located in the “suburbs” of Neos Marmaras and is more for guests staying in apartments on the beach than for visitors from outside. The beach itself is beautiful, but there are even more beautiful ones, so it is not worth staying there.
Las Bandidas beach is about 33km from Nikiti. This beach is not among the most beautiful in Sithonia but it has natural shade, is good for snorkeling, not crowded, has light Latin music, and the whole area where it is located is attractive to adventurers and those who love less commercial and less visited beaches.
About 40km from Nikiti, you will also find the beautiful beaches Aretes beach, Tristinika beach, and Destenika beach. They are all close to Toroni. They are also not in the top 10 beaches in Sithonia, but they are certainly among the most beautiful non-commercial beaches.

If you do not have time to visit all the beaches we have mentioned, the ones that are mandatory are:

Agios Ioannis,
Koviou,

Lagomandra.

Beaches towards the east:

If you head east, you first come across the place Ormos Panagias and the beach Trani Ammouda** (Livrochio) which is located about 500m before Ormos. This beach is very long and wide, with turquoise and very clean sea. The downside is that it is a bit windier, but the great advantage is that it is never crowded and there is always enough parking space.

So, Trani Ammouda should be a mandatory stop. Otherwise, it is only 7km away from Nikiti.

About 8km from Nikiti, and a bit after Ormos Panagias towards Sarti, you will find the Lagonisi beach. This beach is another gem of Sithonia with turquoise sea and fine sand, very popular among parents with children. The beach also has some natural shade and since it belongs to a cafe, very little space for your own equipment.
In this area between Ormos and Vourvourou, you will also find the small Latoura beach sheltered and always with calm sea, but also with a large number of tied boats that interfere with enjoying this small beach.
Talgo beach is located just a kilometer after Lagonisi towards Sarti and 9km from Nikiti. This is also an organized beach with a large number of sunbeds belonging to the beach bar of the same name. The beach has sandy shores, with both rocky and sandy parts in the water. It is popular among young people because the music from the bar is quite loud.
Seventeen kilometers from Nikiti, in the village of Vourvourou, you will find one of the most beautiful beaches in Sithonia, Karidi. Fine sand, a long shallow, turquoise sea, no wind or waves, natural shade, and of course, a large crowd. Visit it early in the morning, late in the afternoon, or off-season. The beach is not organized.
Just 18km from Nikiti, also in Vourvourou, there is the unmarked and unorganized Fava beach with its several coves. Also sandy, but without a shallow, this beach is a favorite of many who love less commercial yet beautiful beaches.

Between Vourvourou and Sarti, there are numerous beaches, and if you are an adventurer and like to explore, it is best to find the one that suits you best on your own. Most of these beaches are quite far from the main road.

About 37km from Nikiti is the famous Orange beach and the coast of Kavourotripes. This beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in northern Greece, and for some, in all of Greece. Countless small coves surrounded by white rocks, fine white sand, turquoise sea, always clean and clear, long shallow.
This coast also includes the beach Mega Portokali which we also recommend you visit.
The Paradiso beach or Dukina, as some call it, is also beautiful, but more difficult to access, so we would not recommend it for families with children.

When you continue from the Orange beach towards Sarti, you will come across the Platanitsi beach which belongs to the campground of the same name. The beach is beautiful, long, and wide, with finer pebbles and frequent winds.

Sarti is 43km away from Nikiti and is great for evening walks, so after visiting the beaches, you can stop by Sarti and take a stroll through this charming town.

For those ambitious travelers in the south of Sithonia, there are at least 5 beaches worth visiting:

All of them are about 50km away from Nikiti.

The beaches that we would highlight as a must-visit on the eastern side are:
