Nikiti · Sithonia · Halkidiki
The old village of Nikiti rests on a hill, 2 km above the better-known seaside town. Founded in the 14th century, it has kept its traditional character for 700 years, a place few travellers know.
Here you'll find the Historical and Folklore Museum, the 16th-century Church of the Assumption with its surviving frescoes, and the church of Agios Nikitas, dating to 1870.

Cobbled lanes and terracotta roofs
Nikiti sits on the northwest coast of Sithonia, the second 'leg' of Halkidiki. These are the beaches our guests return to.
A long beach of soft, velvet sand with a tiny rock island offshore, exotic, crystal-clear water, with a beach bar at one end.
Location
One of the area's most popular beaches, with two beach bars, plenty of food and coffee, and calm, shallow water ideal for young children.
Location
A magical, unorganised beach between Nikiti and Ai Giannis, two small coves of clear, shallow water and sandy bottom, with natural shade from the trees. Bring your own kit.
Location
A lovely, easily accessible beach backed by a beautiful pine forest, largely organised, with everything you need close at hand.
