Camping Katerina beach

We returned to this beach after a two-year hiatus for one reason: tranquility, serenity, and overall wellness. The owner of the place is incredibly friendly and genuinely concerned about the satisfaction and requirements of his guests. Each morning, a car arrives with delectable and fresh pastries, while every other evening, another car brings a variety of vegetables and fruits.

We had to park the car on the main road because the path to the beach was filled with large rocks and fallen trees, which almost caused damage to our car. My boyfriend fell multiple times since this path requires proper footwear, not just flip flops. Unfortunately, the beach lacks any sort of amenities, including shade from trees. We ended up walking for 20 minutes down and 20 minutes back up, enduring the scorching sun with temperatures reaching 35 degrees, only to find nothing at the beach.

This place is truly a paradise! It is one of the most stunning beaches I have ever visited. There is a cozy beach bar where you can enjoy complimentary sunbeds and umbrellas by simply ordering something at the bar. We easily reserved ours beforehand using the chat feature on Google Maps. The food and drinks were decent. The only downside is that the road leading to the beach is quite rough with no asphalt. Additionally, the only drawback is the absence of proper toilets, as there are only dry ones available in the parking lot.
Kavourotrypes Beach

We were disappointed with the only beach on the Sithonia and Kassandra peninsulas. Despite its natural beauty, with pristine white sand and crystal-clear blue water, it was marred by the overwhelming presence of people. The beach was littered with trash, and many individuals were living in tents. Sun beds were scattered about haphazardly, making it difficult to appreciate the stunning surroundings.
Despite these shortcomings, there is a nudist beach located nearby for those who are interested.
