Sithonia, the second peninsula of Chalkidiki, is located between the peninsulas Kassandra and Mount Athos. Sithonia is surrounded by the Toronean Gulf at the east side and the Siggitic Gulf at the west, and was named to Sithon, son of the god of the sea Poseidon.

Sithonia has retained its pristine beauty and atmosphere, making it attractive to wildlife lovers. You will admire the beautiful landscapes, secluded beaches surrounded by small villages with typical Greek architecture. Only here you will enjoy the amazing combination of green and blue tones, where the lush forest vegetation meets the sea waves. Each village - Nikiti, Neos Marmaras, Yerakini, Metamorfosi, Psakoudia - has its own charm and character.
