Spathies is a small white beach located in the southern part of Sithonia, between Kalamitsi and Porto Koufo. It is one of the most "untouched" beaches in Sithonia — secluded, without facilities, featuring exceptionally clear waters.
It is 145 km (about 2 hours and 20 minutes drive) from Thessaloniki. Access is only via a dirt road 2 km from the main asphalt road — this difficulty in access keeps it relatively empty.
The beach is sandy, white, and about 300 meters long, with a shallow bottom and turquoise waters. There are no facilities — no sunbeds, no beach bar, no showers. A kiosk may appear during the peak months, but don’t count on it.
The water is so calm and clear that you can see every little fish at a depth of 5 meters. For snorkeling, it’s one of the best spots in southern Sithonia — rocky edges with bream, wrasse, octopuses, and rich marine life.
Practical tips for visiting:
Bring plenty of water (2L/person), snacks, sunscreen
A hat and UV t-shirt — there’s no shade
Water shoes for sea urchins
Snorkeling gear if you have it
Take all your trash with you
Access: SUV is more comfortable, compact cars may struggle
For families with small children: OK due to the shallow waters but requires preparation due to lack of services. Better as a 2-3 hour trip rather than a full day.
Combine with a visit to nearby Kalamitsi (5 km) or Porto Koufo (7 km) for lunch afterward. Parking is irregular at the edges.
The beach is located in Παραλία Σπαθιών, Σιθωνία, Sithonia, Halkidiki.
