Sani Beach Halkidiki Peninsula
The Sani Beach, we find it in the beautiful Chalkidiki Peninsula in the first phalanx called Kassandra in a northwest direction about ten kilometers from the lively Nea Fokea village. Thessaloniki, where you will have to arrive if you travel by plane, is about eighty kilometers away.
A long coast of soft white sand, bathed by clear and crystalline waters, with a sea of colors that change from bright blue to turquoise to blue with a gently sloping seabed and allow lovers of long swims to have fun up to the extreme and for the little ones to play in total safety while the adults can relax under the warm rays of the sun.
Let's say that most of the beach is owned by the large Sani Resort hotel complex and that for those who are not lucky enough to stay there, there is a part right in front of the Anemos café. We will not tell you lies, during the summer and high season this small area is quite crowded but it is always worth spending a couple of hours there.
Sani beach is almost always awarded the Blue Flag thanks to its services and the natural beauty of the area. Along the coast it is dotted with tamarisk trees that provide natural shade during the hottest moments of the day, creating a relaxing and wild environment.
There is therefore no shortage of sunbeds, umbrellas, traditional taverns where you can taste local delicacies and classic Macedonian Greek cuisine given the proximity to this historic and important region of Greece, bars where you can relax with a classic Greek coffee, and a wide range of water sports to have fun together with friends or family.
