Set on Sithonia’s tranquil western coastline, Acrotel Athena Pallas & Residence sits above a curve of soft sand and clear water at Akti Elias (also known as Elia Nikitis). The hotel is wrapped in pine forest and olive trees, with views across the Toroneos Gulf and sunsets over Kassandra in the distance.

You’re pleasantly tucked away from the busier resorts, yet still within easy reach of Nikiti’s shops and seafront tavernas to the north and the livelier harbour town of Neos Marmaras to the south. It’s a superb base if you’d like relaxed beach time with the option to explore Sithonia’s coves, mountain roads and traditional villages.
