## Description

<p><strong>Neos Marmaras</strong> is the largest and most cosmopolitan resort of <strong>Sithonia</strong>, built amphitheatrically above a picturesque little harbour on the western coast of the second leg. It combines the vibrancy of a developed destination with the character of a traditional fishing village.</p>
<h3>What sets it apart</h3><p>It has full tourist infrastructure: a marina, a picturesque harbour with fishing boats, shops, restaurants and lively nightlife, without losing its charm. It's the natural "capital" of Sithonia and an ideal base for the whole leg.</p>
<h3>Porto Carras</h3><p>Next to it is the legendary <strong>Porto Carras</strong> complex — one of the largest resorts in Greece, with a marina, golf and one of the country's largest <strong>vineyards and wineries</strong>, open for visits and tastings.</p>
<h3>Beaches</h3><p>Nearby are beautiful shores such as <strong>Paradisos</strong>, <strong>Lagomandra</strong> and Castello, with crystal-clear water and pines reaching the sea.</p>
<h3>Food and nightlife</h3><p>At the harbour and along the seafront you'll find fish tavernas, restaurants and cocktail bars — from a calm dinner beside the boats to a lively night out.</p>
<h3>Getting there and around</h3><p>It's about 1.5 hours by car from Thessaloniki. Above the village sits traditional <strong>Parthenon</strong>, while Elia and Vourvourou are close by.</p>
<h3>Who it suits and when</h3><p>Ideal for everyone — families, couples and groups — wanting amenities, entertainment and beautiful beaches. Main season is <strong>May–September</strong>.</p>
