Fourka Beach

Reviewed By Nikola I - Hungary

To be honest, having a blue flag on the beach is extra DOT on that rating ... and Fourka has the flag soooooo.... that Extra 4th dot is just because of the clean water;
Overall, a nice place for relaxing holiday, village has not much of a night life.
But for me that was exactly what I was looking for. To be honest I`m going there next week with my family (water is clean almost transparent and really nice when there are no weaves. Its generally with sand and maybe few stones on the way...but you will hardly notice them)
On down side, starting from September, the village is almost empty...the shops are closed and if that poor Masoutis doesn't support us with food ... people will die from hunger;
Only two local restaurants worked during our stay there last time.
But I bypass this and still going there, coz of the nice relaxing time.

Possidi Beach

Reviewed By Xenios_Kofteros

A long stretch of beach forming a sandbank with water on 3 directions. You can leisure there as it's pretty quiet, enjoy the view of the hills and Mountains behind you or swim in the cold crystal sea. You can also enjoy jumping in the waves that intensify on the tip due to the crisscrossing of the currents.

We start driving at 10:30 from Afitos to Nea Fokea we will stop at the byzantine tower. After we are driving to suni resort there there is a small lake. We will drive between sani and Kassandria in the forest. And we will stop before Fourka where is a small church from 1850 there we are going to have our launch. Near to the church there is a very beautiful bay for swimming. We will follow the road

Before going on the trip Sven has been really helpful providing all the information needed before boarding.
We went for an afternoon sail and once we got on the boat Sven took us to this beautiful spot where we could jump in the water whilst he was preparing a delicious food salad. The view, spot and trip were well chosen for the time and day of the trip but most importantly Sven is a very approachable and sociable host.
The only regret we have is that we didn't do the sailing earlier when we arrived in Halkidiki. Don't make the same mistake.
Thank you Sven and it was nice crossing paths :)

Reviewed By Zoran N - Veles, Republic of Macedonia

Almost all sunbeds in combination with an umbrella are paid in Kallitheas Beach, stating from 10€ for two sunbeds with umbrella per day! Additionally, a frappe coffee is 4€! On top, the order is too tight, you have no commotion! That's a shame!
The beach is sandy and is more or less okay.

A very good beach for young kids.. and their parents. If it had been only possible to isolate smokers it'd have been just perfect. Cafe waitresses--who serve beach visitors--do their best to pick all the cigarette buts. Yet sloppy smokers seem to have been winning so far.

We decided to try the Discover Scuba program with Dive-greece (no prior diving experience) .... best choice we made this holiday. Instructor was very professional and careful; constant status checks while in the water. Went throught safety training and off we go....
Gear looks great and everything went flawless.
Extra: pick-up and drop off service from the hotel! Simply brilliant.
100% recomended!

Polichrono Beach

Reviewed By callybird - London, United Kingdom

Fantastic beach in places. Calm clear sea but overcrowded. Sun beds on average were the price of a drink 3 euros _ quality of beds drinks and WiFi vary. One area had a non smoking section but was packed. This beach would be better if there was a no smoking policy as this might prevent the build up of cigarette butts in the sand . At one point felt like I was smoking several cigerettes myself. Couldn't find any showers or taps to rinse off sea water, This resort is mainly frequented by Bulgarians and Serbians didn't meet hardly any Greeks apart from the young waiters/waitresses who were mainly students from Thesonoloniki _ very charming and highly educated. Apart from the sea and Sun did not feel like Greece at all. Will not be returning _ will stick to other Greek Islands that retain relaxed Mediterranean vibe.

Byzantine Tower

Reviewed By Tuqe - Tirana, Albania

As we reach Nea Fokea the little harbor and the tower it was the most panoramic view. In summer area looks quite impressive, but city is small and doesn’t offer much to do. We spend hours just to discover some attractive spots... but couldn’t succeed. Tower itself make the difference!! Indeed is worthy visiting this place just because this tower which by the local peoples is well-known as the tower of Saint Paul. It is well protected and beside is some ruins of an almost demolished castle. Very closed with tower is a little chapel which offers much quietness!

Spent a day here out of main season so there was availability of loungers for €3 each. Quite narrow but clean and lovely water - ideal for snorkelling and bathing.
