Practical Travel Information

• Location: Western Sithonia, overlooking the Toroneos Gulf.
• Distance from Thessaloniki Airport (SKG): Approximately 110 km (a scenic 1.5-hour drive).
• Parking Tips: Because the town is built on steep hills and gets very busy in July and August, it is highly recommended to use the public parking areas near the local school or the port, rather than driving through the narrow central streets.
