These are the best places to visit, on Halkidiki’s first “leg”, at that most pleasant hour of the day as the sun starts losing its power at the beginning of its descent, and you feel the sea salt still on your skin and all you want is a refreshing drink while you take in the sunset.
Villa Stasa Sea Bar
The wooden deck appears to be hanging over the sea, the pine trees offer their shade all day, but what’s important right now is the orange horizon right across from you. At the Loutra of Agia Paraskevi, Villa Stasa Sea Bar is the ideal destination at sunset. The blue water and the white rocks form the perfect background for you to enjoy the sun painting everything in shades of red and orange. They offer well-made cocktails and wine by the glass from a select list.

Barco Cocktail Bar
Starting with turquoise and moving on to deep blue and orange and red, these will be the colours you’ll be looking at on the sea in front of you. Built in Siviri, right next to the sea, Barco is the ideal place for when you want to spend all day on the beach and around sunset feel the desire to get a bite to eat, have a drink, and relax. The view of the sunset, the excellent service, and the relaxed atmosphere will surely help you enjoy this moment.

Anemos
Right on one of the first ‘legs’ most beautiful beaches, Sani beach, and for that reason always filled with people during the day. However, as the day progresses, people start to leave and it’s the perfect time for one last dip in the crystal waters while there’s still daylight. In the horizon the sun will be diving behind the mountains painting everything red. The return to your sunbed is made perfect with a neat cocktail named “Beach Life” with gin, mastic and lime, or a Piña Colada which is one of their specialties.

Bousoulas Beach Bar
With the sun’s last rays falling over the sea, the fine sand, the rocks, and the white wooden deck of Bousoulas Beach Bar will all be transformed. The bar is part of Sani Resort and is one of the finest beach bars of Kassandra, where you can enjoy the sunset while drinking a well-made Daquiri or, why not, even a glass of champagne.

Pagopoieio
Among the many cafés, bars and restaurants on the beach of Siviri, Pagopoieio stands out. Its name (ice-shop in Greek) was not randomly selected, as this was where ice to preserve the fishermen’s catches was produced back in the day when Siviri was mainly a fishing village. Here you can enjoy the sun setting across from you, painting the beach a beautiful shade. Guest DJs, guest mixologists and lovely cocktails will make you stay long after the sun has set.
