Best Beaches

Central Macedonia's coastline spans the Thermaic Gulf and the three peninsulas of Chalkidiki. This selection includes the white rock formations and turquoise coves of Sithonia's Kabourotrypes, alongside the shifting sand spit at Possidi Cape, which features a 19th-century lighthouse. Closer to Thessaloniki, the organized sandy stretch of Peraia offers views across the gulf. The list also highlights the secluded Voulitsa beach on the Athos peninsula and the narrow isthmus of Lemos Beach at the southern tip of Sithonia.
