Sithonia beach. The beaches are divided into smaller or larger bays of rocks and most of them are completely empty because the way there is black and not visible from the main road. Water and other sleeves is crystal clear, transparent and peaceful. However, the bottom of the beach is very rocky and well to beware of sea urchins. The water is salty from the Black Sea and is much easier to stay afloat. Boiling sea of life, and if you get water glasses, you can see schools of fish passing, small octopuses and sea snail.
