It is a small hidden cove, mainly known to those exploring eastern Halkidiki. The shore is sandy with small pebbles, about 300 meters long, and features shallow waters. It is mostly free — with a few sunbeds in certain spots and a canteen on peak days. The waters are exceptionally clear due to its relative seclusion, with visibility usually between 8-10 meters. For swimming: safe shallow waters. For snorkeling: decent opportunities along the rocky edges with bream and octopus. Clientele: locals and groups familiar with the area. There is little crowding even in August. In nearby Olympiada (close by), there are notable fish taverns serving local fish and mussels. Recommendation: swim in the morning at Kakoudia, have lunch in Olympiada. The surrounding area has archaeological interest — nearby are Stagira (the birthplace of Aristotle) and the Aristotle's Grove. Access: via provincial roads. Parking is irregular at the edges. Bring water, snacks, towels, and sunscreen. Best period: June-September. --- Source: Type: Beach · Halkidiki, Greece
