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.

Andrey Khodus (AnKh)

Great office! We rented the car for three weeks, the car was in good technical condition, there were no malfunctions during the rental period. The car is spacious, clean, powerful and, at the same time, economical (we took an Opel Insignia, diesel). I was also very pleased with the service for transferring and accompanying the car: our manager Anna was constantly in touch (phone, WhatsApp). Despite the rather early arrival (about 8 am) and late departure (about 10:30 pm), we received the car and

Anastasia Lyashkova

We rented a convertible car for a week. We quickly contacted and agreed to rent and deliver the car the next day to the hotel.
The car is clean, fully operational, no complaints. It was very helpful that we could communicate in Russian and leave a deposit in cash, which really helped us in an unusual situation.
If necessary, we promptly kept in touch throughout the rental period. They go to the meeting and treat the problem with understanding

Nicola Pearce

Very easy to book online and confirmed immediately. Prices are good and we appreciated the drop off at Aretsou Marina and the fact that you could insure an extra driver at no extra cost. Car was good but the best was the delivery chap who gave us recommendations of things to see in the area. Definitely recommend this company and would use again.

Арина Штерн

Great car rental company! Individual approach, we handed over and picked up the car where it was convenient for us, provided us with a Green Card to travel to Serbia! We use it all the time and will recommend it to everyone ????

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.
