Map & location
Akti Elias, Halkidiki, Greece
Tucked into a peaceful cove on Sithonia’s western coast, Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa enjoys a privileged position directly on the sand in tiny Akti Elias (also known as Elia Nikitis). Behind the hotel, pine-covered hills rise gently; in front, the bay shelves softly into clear, shallow water, ideal for relaxed swims and family paddling.
You’re in a quiet spot here, but still well placed for exploring. Neos Marmaras, with its marina, tavernas and low-key nightlife, is around 7km away, while charming Nikiti – all stone alleys and seafront promenade – lies about 12km in the other direction. The hotel operates shuttle buses to both on selected days, so you can dip into local life without hiring a car.
- • Beach on the beachfront (private-style bay with complimentary sun loungers & parasols)
- • Neos Marmaras resort centre 7km
- • Nikiti resort centre 12km
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 45 minutes from Thessaloniki (SKG)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are spoilt for choice. Three outdoor freshwater pools are scattered through the gardens, including a lagoon-style main pool with integrated children’s section and another with a whirlpool area. One of the outdoor pools – with kids’ section – is heated in the cooler months (typically late April to May), ideal for early-season stays.
In cooler or windier weather, retreat to the indoor heated pool at the spa (seasonal opening). Around all pools you’ll find generous sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols, plus complimentary pool towels.
Step beyond the pool deck and you’re directly on the hotel’s own sandy bay, with shallow, typically calm water and rows of sunbeds and parasols included for guests – exactly what you picture when you think “Greek beach holiday”.
Spa, sports & wellness
The spa & wellness centre (16+ years) offers an indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room and whirlpool, alongside massages, facials and beauty treatments, plus a more exclusive private cave pool (all treatments and certain facilities carry local charges).
A well-equipped, air-conditioned gym features cardio machines and a free-weights area, open seasonally during daytime hours. Organised activities include aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga, table tennis, darts, tennis and volleyball, giving you plenty of ways to stay active between beach sessions.
Practicalities are covered with a 24-hour reception, concierge services, currency exchange, luggage storage, on-site mini-market and facilities for charging mobility scooters. Wheelchairs can be hired on request (subject to availability).

Food & drink
Food is a genuine highlight at Anthemus Sea. The main Elia restaurant serves generous buffet breakfasts and dinners with live show cooking, mixing international favourites with Greek classics. It’s poolside, bright and family-friendly, with a kids’ buffet and highchairs.
For something more intimate, Horizon a la carte crowns the roof terrace. Expect elevated Greek and Mediterranean dishes paired with sunset views – a memorable setting for a date-night dinner. Down on the sand, Yialos a la carte keeps things relaxed with lunches and dinners right by the water, plus a dedicated children’s menu.
Two bars complete the picture: a laid-back Beach Bar open from morning coffee through to after-dark cocktails, and a refined Main Piano Bar for pre-dinner drinks and live music vibes.
A smart dress code may apply in the evening (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in certain venues). Reservations are recommended for a la carte venues and dine-around credits or supplements vary by board basis and season; check the latest details in resort. What All Inclusive typically includes.
