Why the West Coast
The beaches on the western side of Kassandra face the Thermaic Gulf and Mount Olympus. This means sunsets with the mountain of the gods in the background.
Possidi
Possidi Cape is perhaps the best spot. The sun sinks into the sea right in front of you. The light in the shallow waters creates golden reflections.
Furka & Skala Furkas
A popular place for sunset cocktails. Beach bars on the sand with live music.
Siviri
A quiet beach, less crowded. Ideal for romantic dinners by the sea.
Nea Fokea
A historic village with fishing boats. The sun sets behind Olympus - a unique sight.
Sarti (Sithonia)
Although on the eastern coast, Sarti overlooks Mount Athos. The sunset illuminates the monasteries - magical.
