Beaches in the vicinity of Neos Marmaras

The city beach is a typical city beach with it’s advantages and disadvantages, but we think it is certainly above the average rate regarding city beaches. The greatest advantage may be the fact that it is located in the most southern part of the city, and those tourists who are settled in the north takes a lot of time walking there.

The best combination consists of coming by car or renting a transport vehicle and go to a great number of beaches in the surrounding area, the luxurious Porto Carras, and the rest of the island should be seen too. In the nearby surroundings you can find the Kohi beach (trendy and very expensive), the super popular Lagomandra, the long and unusual Elia, easily reachable Paradisos, as well as many hidden beaches. When you go towards the south after passing Neos Marmaras, you get to the island Kelifos, which takes the shape of a turtle when it is looked at from the coast. Inspirational for taking pictures, especially during evening hours when you have the impression that a giant, old turtle is floating towards the open sea.

Neos Marmaras is one the best destinations on Sithonia, both as the base for exploring or as the only location for those more not so eager to leave the town. You will be fascinated!
