Sixty kilometres,
almost empty.
Sithonia is the middle of Halkidiki's three peninsulas, pine-covered, mountainous, and quieter than the holiday strip on Kassandra. A single coastal road loops the perimeter, dropping into bay after bay of clear water and white sand.
Inland, mountain villages, monasteries, and Porto Carras, one of Greece's larger wineries, keep things interesting on the days when even another beach feels like too much.
