Sithonia

Cosmopolitan presents the best beach picks of luxury travel sales company “Secret Escapes” that include the not so famous Porto Zoro bay in Zakynthos on the top of its list, with the coast of Chalkidiki taking 13th spot on the list.

Two Bulgarians were detained for illegal camping in Greece, the Foreign Affairs Ministry announced, quoted by bTV. 

A group of illegally camping people, including the two Bulgarians, was detained by the police in Sithonia in the morning of August 1. The same day they were released, while an investigation is currently underway.

People in many parts of Greece spent Tuesday assessing and repairing the damage caused by two days of bad weather, which also claimed a life.

A Thessaloniki resident walks past the 'Umbrellas' sculpture by Giorgos Zongopoulos on the northern city's seafront promenade on Monday, as the region was hit by strong downpours. Areas in the Sithonia peninsula in Halkidki saw major flooding as heavy rain overwhelmed rivers and streams, prompting the municipality to declare a state of emergency.

Emerald and turquoise waters, heavenly beaches, exceptional nature, beach bars, seaside resorts for family holidays and a vibrant nightlife.

There was once a stone mermaid at Kavourotrypes (meaning “Crab Holes”) at Sithonia, Halkidiki. Dionysios Karypidis sculpted it in 1997 and it gave the area an added edge of uniqueness. Until suddenly, last summer he showed up and destroyed his work. Was this the act of a mad artist? No, there was a reason for this destruction.
