About Sithonia Peninsula
The peninsula is famous for its double-sided coastline: the western shore faces the calm Toroneos Gulf, while the eastern side opens to the wilder Singitikos Gulf. Small traditional villages like Nikiti, Vourvourou and Sarti are dotted along the coast, each with their own character. Porto Carras Grand Resort — one of Greece's most iconic luxury complexes — occupies the southern tip. Transfer from SKG takes approximately 75 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Thessaloniki Airport to Sithonia?
Sithonia is approximately 110–140 km from SKG Airport. First villages (Gerakini, Nikiti) take about 65–75 minutes. Southern Sithonia (Toroni, Porto Carras) takes up to 85–90 minutes.
Is Sithonia better than Kassandra?
It depends on what you are looking for. Sithonia is quieter, more natural and preferred by those who want peace and unspoilt scenery. Kassandra has more infrastructure, larger hotels and a livelier nightlife scene.
What is the best village in Sithonia?
Nikiti is popular for its combination of a traditional village atmosphere and good beaches. Vourvourou is loved for its unique bay with pine-covered islets. Sarti has a long open beach with views of Mount Athos. Porto Carras is the top luxury option.
Does the transfer go to the ferry port for Skiathos or Sporades?
Sithonia does not have a major ferry port. For ferries to Skiathos and the Sporades, you would need Nea Moudania or Volos. We can transfer you to either port — ask for a custom quote.
