Harbour nights, pine-backed beaches, zero regrets
Neos Marmaras is Sithonia’s “best of both worlds” resort: a proper Greek harbour town with a beachy heartbeat and just enough buzz to keep evenings lively. It tumbles down a green hillside to the sea, with a promenade for sunset strolls and a marina dotted with fishing boats (and the occasional yacht doing a slow flex).
For beach time, you’re spoiled. Paradisos Beach is the easy, close-by classic, while dreamy Lagomandra is a short drive away for pine-backed sand and water so clear you’ll start narrating your own nature documentary. When you want to swap loungers for exploring, hop on a boat trip, or head to the nearby Porto Carras estate for a marina wander and a winery tasting that tastes like summer in a glass.
Food is half the holiday here. Think grilled octopus, saganaki, and big Greek salads that crunch like they mean it, served on terraces with sea views and “just one more” energy. Finish with a scoop of something cold, then watch the harbour lights flicker on. If you fancy a trip, Nikiti’s shops and Vourvourou’s bays are within reach too. Neos Marmaras does easy days brilliantly. Arrive hungry, leave sun-kissed, and plan to come back.
