Of course we should not forget the beach of Afitos, where you find the cleanest waters all over Halkidiki. Finally, if you want to find a beach for the whole family, Siviri will satisfy your needs.
The second peninsula, Sithonia, is the one that is famous for the magical natural landscapes that the area has. Kavourotripes is the most famous beach, which is really like heaven. Of course, if you prefer something more quite and less crowded, you can go to the nearby beach, called Mega Portokali. You will find the same beauty, but less people, as this beach is a bit harder to reach. However, your visit there, will reward you with its beauty. Sarti is a beach for all tastes.

And last but not least, we have the third peninsula of Halkidiki. The Athos peninsula, as we know it, has the "avato" for women. But there are areas at the beginning of the leg, which are accessible by everyone and the beaches at the area are fantastic. In Ouranoupoli you will find various beaches, awarded with blue flags, and in Nea Rhoda as well. You will find peaceful beaches, with not many people around and everything you need to relax on your vacations. Ammouliani is also a very good choice.
