✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

At the southern tip of Sithonia, Kalamitsi forms two small coves with sandy beach. The sea has good depth for swimming and is suitable for snorkeling. There is an organized campsite and a diving center, while the natural protection of the bay is limited.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces southeast. With northwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.

On days with northwesterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Thanks to the sheltered bay it is one of the safer bets in the area on windy days.
