Metamorfosi is a small place at the beginning (western entrance) of Sithonia, with about 500 inhabitants.
It is characterized by dense pine forest that towers over the coast, extending up to 300m inland in some places.
Since the place is small and ideal for a true vacation, the combination of the scent of pine trees and the sea contributes to better relaxation during the summer. Due to its microclimate, the place is known as a spa and is ideal for people with respiratory problems.

Beach in Metamorfosi:
The beach is narrow, with natural shade in some parts, sand and gravel on the shore, and either gravel or sand in the water. It is not among the most beautiful in Sithonia, but it is decent. The sea is crystal clear. The eastern part of the beach is called Makri Lagada and holds a Blue Flag.
This beach is organized (with sunbeds and water sports), it is about 120m long, but it represents only a part of the longest beach in Sithonia (32km) stretching from Nikiti to Gerakini. Due to its southern position, the beach is sunny throughout the day, and the sunset is beautiful.
