One of the most beautiful beaches in Sithonia - make sure to add it to your list of places to visit. Mega Portokali in Sithonia - a turquoise “pool” with sand and a long shallow area. Find out how to locate the unmarked turn, where to park, and how to visit Orange Beach in the same day.

• Appearance: Fine sand, transparent turquoise water, and a long shallow area (resembling a pool).
• Location: 7km north of Sarti, 700m after Orange Beach, turn at the tavern on the main road.
• Access: Path through the forest (200m), stairs from the tavern to the shore.
• Equipment: Unorganized beach (bring your own umbrellas), no toilets or showers.
• Bonus tip: Walk through the forest from Orange Beach to avoid searching for parking twice.

Getting to the Beach

Although not officially marked, you will recognize the turn by the tavern right on the main road and the parking lot. From there, a path through the pine forest, about 200 meters long, leads straight to the shore. The best “trick” for parking? If you are already at Orange Beach, you can easily reach Mega Portokali by taking a leisurely walk through the small forest (left from Orange), thus visiting both coves without having to look for a parking spot again.

Ambiance and Swimming

The beach itself is small and narrow, and in the afternoon completely shaded due to the rocks in the background.

The beach has fine sand both on the shore and in the water, with several hundred meters of shallow water up to your waist.

What is enchanting about this beach is the turquoise and very clear water, which glimmers in the sun, so if you look at the beach from the forest, you get the impression as if a large, beautiful pool is in front of you. Above the beach, there is a tavern, but there are no sunbeds or umbrellas on the beach itself, so you must bring your own equipment.

Surrounded by white rocks, the sand on the seabed is of a lighter color, making the water light blue and gentle, just like the entire coast of Kavourotripes.

The downside of this beach is the lack of toilets, cabins, or showers, so you have to go to Orange Beach if you want to use the facilities.

In our opinion, this beach is a must-see.

• It is close to the main road, so you can stop by even when passing by and take a look from the forest to the left, or you can visit it when you are at Orange Beach.
• There can be crowds on the beach during the season, so it’s best to arrive early if you want to secure a spot.
• From the tavern, you descend the stairs down to the beach, and in the tavern, you can buy drinks and some food at decent prices.
