Things To Do

Agios Nikolaos

The place where Yannis spent almost all his summers with his grandparents. Narrow cobblestone streets and traditional houses. At the village's square on Fridays you can usually find an event with greek music, some taverns to sit around. Recommendation for Makis tavern if you want to grab something to eat, even though it is located one street before the village square.

a beautiful and very shallow beach. Recommended if you bring along children.

The beach is sandy and labeled as a ‘blue flag.’ There are a few bars and cafes just off the coast, and sun loungers and umbrellas are available if you purchase a drink or food from that particular establishment. Trani Ammouda Beach is a good option for families as the water is shallow and calm.

(Beach) Koviou and Kalogria

Koviou Beach comes with shallow, calm waters and long sandy beach, this is one of our favorite beaches for families looking to enjoy a day of swimming. The beach is tucked away, making it a quiet retreat and a popular place with locals. Bring some beach blankets or grab a sunbed for the day. Kalogria Beach is next south of beach Koviou. The water here is also shallow and calm, so it’s another good beach for families.

(Beach) Tigania

This is truly one of the more dreamy and top beaches in Sithonia, but it’s harder to reach, making it less touched by tourism. A beach bar and cape separate crystal waters and golden sands, creating the perfect little piece of paradise to relax and unwind.

(Beach) Lagomandra Beach

This is a family-friendly beach, and the nearby forest is also ideal for camping. It is a Blue Flag beach which offers a good amount of shade and a good breeze. The water isn’t too deep, and it’s pretty calm most of the time. You’ll find a lifeguard on duty during the summer months.
