What to do in Kriaritsi Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Kriaritsi Beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Kriaritsi Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Kriaritsi Beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

Hawai beach bar and Thea beach bar are among the top-rated beaches on the Sithonia peninsula, with stunning views. They are also more affordable compared to Klimataria and Tigania beach. The sand on both beaches is exceptional, and Thea beach bar offers an incredible view.

This beach is ideal for swimming and diving, but it's worth noting that the neighboring beach is a nude beach.

The beach offers a lovely expanse of granular sand, complemented by convenient amenities such as a camping site, a beach bar, a taverna, and a supermarket. Unfortunately, our visit was marred by a bout of heavy rainfall that left the water murky, resulting in a one-star deduction. Additionally, the steep terrain of the sand made it difficult to lounge comfortably on the sun beds.

The beach is absolutely wonderful, with breathtaking nature and crystal clear waters that offer a stunning view of Athos. Additionally, there are two great beach bars that play good music and are reasonably priced.
