The village of Nikiti on the Sithonia Peninsula offers a variety of beaches with soft sand and calm waters, both within and outside the village. The main beach in Nikiti attracts tourists with its length and amenities, but there are several uncommercialized wild beaches located on the outskirts of the town.
Among them is the small Spathies Beach, situated 9 kilometers south of Nikiti, which can be accessed via an asphalt road that branches off from the main route towards Akti Kalogrias. Surrounded by pine trees and rocks, this beach has become increasingly popular with visitors in recent years, although it was once mainly a favorite retreat for locals.
Spathies Beach consists of two coves. One is smaller, more picturesque, and rockier, but it often gets crowded; it’s perfect for diving. The other cove is larger, sandy with some pebbles, and features turquoise waters that gradually deepen. The natural shade from the trees provides comfortable spots to relax. The right side of the beach has a sandy bottom, while the left side is rocky, where sea urchins may be found. The beach is suitable for snorkeling due to its clear water, which reveals a variety of fish and crabs. Stunning sunsets over Toroneos Bay leave an unforgettable impression on those who wish to linger until evening.
Spathies Beach has no facilities. There are only a few apartments along the road for those seeking a tranquil stay by the sea.
The beach is entirely dedicated to swimming and sunbathing, so visitors should bring their own food and umbrellas. Finding parking during peak season can be challenging, especially after 9 a.m., as the beach grows increasingly popular with tourists. The absence of large waves makes this spot appealing to divers and fishermen.
