Sithonia is the second of the three “fingers” of the Halkidiki Peninsula. The peninsula was named after Sithon, the son of Poseidon. There were several cities on this territory in ancient times: Galeps, Sing, Derra, Torona, and Sarta.

Many sights from the mysterious times have survived to the present day. Rent a car and have a drive to Sithonia’s most distinctive spots:

  • Sarti – the city that hosts the Xiropotamos monastery;
  • Toroni – a settlement with a fascinating history. Visit the church of St. Athanasios and the ruins of the ancient acropolis while you are there;
  • Sykia – it is famous for its picturesque views and comfortable beaches;
  • Neos Marmaras – it is a town for fun-seekers. There are numerous taverns, cafes, and other places to unwind in it;
  • Porto Koufo – it is a beautiful bay at the very tip of the peninsula, an area that was formerly known as a submarine station during World War II.

Sithonia’s most notable feature is its beaches. Every coastal city has beaches to suit every taste: pebble beaches, sand beaches, bay beaches, and open water beaches. It is a paradise for travellers who adore lying in the sun.

Why rent a car?

There are numerous sites worth seeing in Halkidiki’s Sithonia. Given the peninsula’s 514 km2 size, it is simply impossible to visit all of them in a short period without a car. Sithonia’s public transportation system is underdeveloped. Travelling via a private vehicle will allow you to experience the region’s unique natural beauty, including mesmerizing mountain ranges, wonderful forests, and magnificent beaches.

Of course, you can take a taxi but it will cost more than renting a car.

We came to Greece for a month as we always do every year. We rented a car from Aktis and the price was very very reasonable. Furthermore, the car was very well maintained and economical and the people working for Aktis were super friendly and helpful. Everything was excellent, no scams, we got our deposit back immediately after giving the car back. We picked up the car at the airport even on a Sunday afternoon with a smile and we gave the car back and everything was really smooth. We will be ren

We rented a car in august 2023 and drove over 1500km with it without any problems. Good car for 4 people with spacious trunk. We are satisfied with the very attentive and customer oriented service company offered.

There was a plenty amount of damages on the car and there was a little fear that upon receipt something was left unnoticed and could be charged to us, but everything was adequate and we fully received our deposit back. The value for money was very good and if we will come back to Thes

Good day everyone! I want to share information about Aktis Car. This year I decided to visit Greece for the first time with my family. In addition to a beach holiday, I wanted to rent a car and travel around the country for several days, see the sights. At the same time, like. Ya. Ya. Accidentally went to the site Aktis Car. The site turned out to be in Russian, which greatly simplified communication. In the correspondence I was informed that they are ready to accept payment and a deposit in cas

Traffic features

The peninsula has a well-developed road system. Almost all the roads are well-paved, and the drive along with them brings a lot of pleasure. Serpentines are the only problem of the local roads. There are many serpentines in the area, and they are all quite narrow. When travelling along them, you should be extremely cautious, especially at night.

Pay attention! The region is famous for its beaches. To access them, travellers quite often have to drive along dirt roads. It should be noted that insurance does not apply in cases when a car is damaged on such a road surface.

Useful tips

When you come to Greece, you will not need to adjust to new regulations because the country's rules are the same as those in other countries. The only difference is that priority rules apply when entering the circle. In this case, the advantage goes to the car that enters the circle first.

Pay attention! Maintain the following speed limits while in Greece: 50 km/h in the city, 90 km/h beyond the city, 110 km/h on regular roads, and 130 km/h only on autobahns.

Required documents

You must have a valid driver’s license, preferably an international one, and a foreign passport or any other document identifying you with a photo. If you plan to use a card to pay for services, it must be issued in the driver’s name.
