Gomati is one of northeastern Halkidiki's most unseen villages: ~1,000 residents in a green valley between the mountain and the Ierissos sea (6.9 km), with a farming character, its own oil and honey, and a rhythm that has nothing to do with Halkidiki's two "legs".
Around the village
- Ierissos (6.9 km): The east coast's long sandy beach — Gomati's "swim".
- Pyrgadikia (8.8 km): The twin-view fishing village on the other side.
- The mountain road: The route to Megali Panagia and Arnaia runs through forests and olive groves.

Practical notes for international visitors
Gomati is the green valley behind the Ierissos coast — farming, calm, honest prices. For independent travellers the answer to "coast-near without coast-cost": ten minutes to the beach, no promenade noise.
