It is located in the middle of the eastern coast, 135 km from Thessaloniki (a 2-hour 15-minute drive). What sets it apart is the view: looking west, you can see Mount Athos rising 2,033 meters high across the water. The sand is fine, and the seabed is shallow for at least 30-40 meters, making it a favorite among families with children. One section (near the village) is fully organized with sunbeds, beach bars, and showers. As you head south, the organization becomes sparser, leading to a free section—ideal if you prefer your own towel and some peace and quiet. The sunset from Sarti is rare for Greece: the sun sets behind the Athos peninsula, and the silhouette of the mountain turns black against an orange backdrop. It is one of the few beaches with this angle of view. In the village of Sarti, right by the beach, there is a complete tourist infrastructure: hotels, tavernas, a supermarket, an ATM, a pharmacy, and a gas station. From the small harbor, cruises to the islands of Diaporos depart (30-45 euros, duration 7 hours). For families with children: ideal. For couples looking for "action": the northern part has several beach bars and nightlife. For tranquility: the southern part or beyond it. Nearby interesting beaches within a short drive: Kavourotripes (12 km southwest), Platanitsi (7 km north), Karydi Vourvourou (25 km north). --- Source: Type: Beach · Halkidiki, Greece
