Halkidiki, especially Sithonia, is one of northern Greece's top snorkelling destinations. The water is particularly clear (15-25m visibility on most days), the coastline has many small bays with rocky bottoms hosting marine life, and most beaches are accessible without a boat. You don't need equipment beyond a mask and snorkel — buy them at any supermarket for €15-25. This list collects beaches with the best snorkelling spots.

When to snorkel
Best visibility: September-October (up to 25m). Summer 15-20m due to algae. Best water temperature: August-September (25-26°C). Best time of day: Morning 8-11 before wind stirs the water. Avoid: After a storm — turbidity stays for 24-48h.
Snorkelling tips
- Gear: Mask + snorkel + water shoes. Fins aren't needed in the shallows (1-3m).
- Best spots: Rocky edges of bays with small openings to the open sea — that's where fish gather.
- What you'll see: Common — sea bream, salpa, sea bass. Rare — octopus, sea urchins. Very rare — jellyfish.
- Safety: Never alone. Pair up with a snorkelling buddy.
- Sun protection: Reef-safe sunscreen. Cover your back with a rash guard — it burns.
- Combine with water sports: See our water sports page for guided tours.
