The town of Toroni has become an increasingly popular destination for summer vacations in recent years.
This is primarily due to the beautiful, urban beach, holder of the Blue Flag. It is a sandy beach, with a gradual depth, always clean and calm sea and mostly uncrowded. This beach is also adorned with a beautiful sunset, and the fact that it is never windy and waveless is an additional plus.
Briefly about Toroni:
- Location: southwest of Sithonia

- Sea: calm, clean, waveless

In the vicinity of Toroni, there are many other beaches that you can visit during your vacation, although the town beach is quite sufficient and excellent for many guests for swimming throughout the stay.
Facilities and atmosphere:
There are few facilities for demanding tourists in Toroni, but for peaceful family vacations, it is quite sufficient.
Those more demanding can go out in the evening or go shopping to Neos Marmaras which is 20km away from Toroni or to Sarti which is 30km away.
The bay of Porto Koufo, famous for its fish taverns, is only 3km away from Toroni.
Beaches towards Sarti:
On the way to Sarti, many beautiful beaches can be visited from Toroni.
- The first and probably the most beautiful in that area, but also in all of Halkidiki is Kalamitsi Beach. It is only 14km away and represents a paradise for families with children and for all visitors who love sandy beaches and crystal clear sea.
- Twenty kilometers from Toroni in the same direction are the beaches Kriaritsi, Tigania, Klimataria and Tourkolimnionas. These beaches are among the most beautiful beaches in Sithonia. Among them, we would highlight Klimataria Beach as the most beautiful, perfect for families with children due to its very fine sand and long shallow water.
Additionally in this direction:
- Limanaki
- Linaraki
- Sikia Beach
- Griavas
- Valti
- Agridia
All these beaches are sandy and within 25km of Toroni.
Beaches towards Neos Marmaras:
On the other hand, west of Toroni (towards Neos Marmaras) there are beaches Destenika, Tristinika, Aretes…
- You can reach Destenika Beach on foot from Toroni. It is a beach with the same characteristics as the town beach, but smaller and less crowded.
- Tristinika Beach is also similar, but much larger than Destenika, very wide, with beautiful sea, always clean and always calm and uncrowded.
- Aretes Beach is 5km away from Toroni. It is accessed by a partly dirt road and requires driving slowly, but the beach is excellent. Sandy and with calm sea, great for those who have their own equipment and want to enjoy less commercial beaches, which are still numerous in Sithonia.
What to visit?
When we described the coast between Neos Marmaras and Toroni, we mentioned an old road that runs along a very interesting coast.
If you have time and enjoy driving on winding roads along the sea, through a wooded area, then be sure to turn off the main road just after Toroni, where the sign saying Azapiko is, and drive all the way to the Porto Carras complex in Neos Marmaras. Along this route, you will see a multitude of wild coves and beaches, beautiful houses and apartments in a fantastic natural environment, large areas under pine forest.
You can stop by the beach known for the bar Las Bandidas Beach Bar and enjoy some Latin sounds, or relax on one of the wild coves. Visit also the beach Agia Kiriaki or perhaps the small beach Likithos in front of the hotel of the same name.
In Neos Marmaras, you can visit the aforementioned luxury complex Porto Carras, which requires an entrance fee, and swim at the excellently maintained Kohi beach within the complex.
You can visit Neos Marmaras in the evening as it is known for its excellent and lively atmosphere.
After Neos Marmaras, you will come across the famous Lagomandra Beach which is about 25km away from Toroni. This beach is known for its abundance of natural shade.
Beaches in the wider area:
- Lagomandra (25km) – known for natural shade
- Kalogria (30km) – one of the most beautiful in Sithonia
- Koviou and Spathies – within walking distance of Kalogria
- Agios Ioannis – another top beach nearby
As you can see, along the stretch of 30km towards the east and south of Toroni, you can visit a large number of beaches, among which we would highlight as the most beautiful: Kalamitsi, Klimataria, Tourkolimnionas, Tigania and Kriaritsi towards Sarti, and Destenika, Tristinika, Aretes, Lagomandra, Kalogria, Koviou and Agios Ioannis towards Marmaras and Nikiti.
