Beach Radar tracks 12 beaches in Halkidiki, 8 of them organized. 2 of them sit in enclosed bays with a shelter index of 0.45 or higher, which keeps the water swimmable even on breezy days. The shores face several different directions, so there is almost always a sheltered side. Every beach has its own page with a live score — wind, waves and water temperature at the moment you look.
🏖️ See the live ranking for Halkidiki →The shores of Halkidiki do not all face the same way: 5 beaches look east and 2 look southeast. That is an advantage — there is almost always a sheltered side. A westerly wind flattens the shores facing east, while a northwesterly wind flattens those facing southeast. The live score on each beach shows which side is working on the day you ask.
