💡 Tips
- Wake up early to watch the memorable sunrise behind Mount Athos right from the beach.
- Parking in the center gets tough in the evenings; try the lots at the north or south ends of the beach instead.
- The southern part of the beach is quieter and has shallower water, making it well-suited for families.
- Stroll through the old village for a more traditional atmosphere away from the bustling beach bars.
🍽 Food
Grab one at the small local spots around the main square in the old village.
Enjoy the catch of the day at the fish taverns lining the beach promenade.
Greek donuts soaked in honey, available at bakeries along the main streets.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Pick up these local staples at the small souvenir shops and grocers in the old village.
Find anything you might have forgotten at the boutiques running parallel to the beach.

Sarti is a bustling coastal village on the eastern edge of Sithonia, originally settled by refugees from Asia Minor in 1922. It is renowned for its expansive sandy beach, which stretches for nearly 3 kilometers and consistently earns the Blue Flag award. The town's most iconic feature is the panoramic, unobstructed view of Mount Athos across the sea, particularly memorable during the golden hours of sunrise. Sarti is divided into the 'Old Village' with its traditional charm and the newer southern extension catering to modern tourism. It serves as a well-suited base for exploring the nearby 'Orange Beach' (Kavourotripes), famous for its turquoise waters and smooth white rock formations. The waterfront is lined with a diverse array of shops, bars, and tavernas serving local specialties like grilled octopus and moussaka. Windsurfing and kayaking are popular activities due to the gentle breezes in the bay. In mid-August, the town celebrates the Panagia festival with traditional music, dancing, and local delicacies.
