Elani Beach is located on the Halkidiki peninsula, on the western coast of the Kassandra peninsula, 7 km from the Sani resort. This natural spot is surrounded by pine forests that stretch all the way to the shoreline. Turquoise waters and sandy coves make the beach especially appealing to visitors. At sunset, when the sky takes on golden hues, the location becomes even more picturesque.
In the center of the beach, there is a paid area with sunbeds and umbrellas, costing around €15. A taverna nearby serves traditional dishes and snacks at reasonable prices, with a beautiful view of the coastline from its terrace. However, some visitors have expressed concerns about the quality of the food, so this should be taken into account when planning a visit.
For those looking to save money, free, unserviced zones are available at the edges of the beach. Supplies can be purchased in the nearby villages.
The beach received the "Blue Flag" award in 2024 for its cleanliness and ecological standards. Facilities include showers, changing cabins, and a small ice cream kiosk for children. With its long sandy shoreline, shallow waters, and gentle slope into the sea, Elani Beach is well-suited for family visits.
The beach stretches for about half a kilometer, offering both a serviced area in the center and quieter, more secluded spots on the sides. In the morning, it’s convenient to settle near the sandy cliffs on the right side of the beach to escape the hot sun. While parts of the beach have rocky sections, the overall atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing.
A path runs along the coastline, shaded by pine trees, making it great for casual walks.
Nearby, there are apartments and villas available for rent. The Elani Resort also provides accommodation with access to swimming pools. The area is known for its lush greenery and calm atmosphere, attracting those seeking a peaceful retreat.
Three kilometers south lies the village of Siviri, where you can find shops, fish markets, bakeries with fresh bread and pies, as well as souvenir stores. Children can enjoy gaming machines in the main square. Siviri is a 10-minute drive or a 30-minute walk along a scenic trail.
On Tuesdays, the town of Kassandria hosts a market where locals sell fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, and other goods. Arriving early in the morning ensures the widest selection, while visiting closer to closing time, around 2 PM, often means discounts.
