Hotels in Sithonia

Not usually: none of the Sithonia listings mentions one. These are small, self-catering places, and housekeeping varies. Thalassokipos Hotel and Bay View Suites clean and change linen every three days, while Casa Bloo has daily maid service. Thalassokipos also has a cafe bar on site for coffee, drinks and simple food. Ask us if you expect to arrive late.

For a short walk to the water: Thalassokipos Hotel above Vourvourou is 80 metres from a small sandy beach. Serenity Suites in Nikiti is 200 metres from the sandy beach, and Sunshine Apartments in Neos Marmaras is about 700 metres from the sea, among the village's tavernas.

Yes: Casa Bloo Adults Only by Still Collection, in Elia Nikitis, between Nikiti and Neos Marmaras, is for guests aged 16 and over and sits on Elia Beach. Anmian Suites in Vourvourou takes guests aged 15 and over. About half of the stays here have a pool, so ask us if a quiet pool matters.

For evenings, Neos Marmaras has the liveliest front on the peninsula and Nikiti a beach settlement with cafes, a supermarket and a pharmacy. For quiet, Kalamitsi is the calmest village with a beach worth the name, and Vourvourou has calm water and boat days, though both need a car. Sithonia is less busy than Kassandra, with quieter villages.
