Beach Bars in Halkidiki

Best beach bars for cocktails by the sea

0 results

Halkidiki's beach bars are some of the most evolved in northern Greece. Beyond just a place for a cocktail under an umbrella, many run as full day-to-night destinations: opening with coffee and smoothies at 9 AM, serving solid lunch menus, switching to beach parties with DJs in the afternoon, and closing with sunset cocktails or late-night events. Kassandra (mainly Kallithea, Hanioti, Pefkochori) has the most popular, cosmopolitan venues — Sithonia (Vourvourou, Nikiti) is more relaxed but equally high quality. This list collects beach bars with the highest visitor ratings.

The bigger beach clubs open in June and close around September 20-25.

Tips

  • Sun-bed reservation: At popular beach clubs (mainly Kassandra), book online 1-2 days ahead for weekends. Premium sets €30-60/day for two.
