Melia

Melia is a restaurant in Vourvourou, next to Karydi beach, with creative Mediterranean cooking and a focus on seafood. It's one of the more refined options on Sithonia's east coast, with mid-range prices, and it takes reservations, which are recommended for a summer dinner.

Karydi is one of the best-known beaches in Halkidiki, with white rocks sculpted by the wind and shallow, clear water. It's worth pairing dinner with a late-afternoon swim there, once the daytime crowds have left.
