There is something magical about the moment the Halkidiki sky is painted in shades of orange, purple, and gold. For photography lovers—and the hopeless romantics—Sithonia offers some of the most spectacular sunsets in the world.
To fill your Instagram (and your mind) with unforgettable images, here are the top spots to visit during your stay at Lagomandra Beach Hotel.
1. Lagomandra Beach: Magic at Your Doorstep
You don’t have to go far. Lagomandra Beach faces west, meaning the sun sets right in front of you.
- The "Shot": Capture the silhouette of the pine trees as the light filters through their branches, creating natural filters.
- Tip: Sit at the hotel’s beach bar with a cocktail in hand as the sun touches the sea.
2. Old Parthenonas (The "Balcony" of Sithonia)
A short distance from Neos Marmaras lies the traditional settlement of Parthenonas. Due to its altitude, it offers a panoramic view of the Sithonian Gulf and Kelyfos Island.
- The "Shot": The stone rooftops of the houses and the cobblestone alleys bathed in the "golden hour."
- Tip: Arrive 1 hour before sunset to catch the long shadows over the mountains.
3. Kelyfos Island (The Turtle) from the Coast
The coastline between Lagomandra and Neos Marmaras offers many openings with a view of Kelyfos Island. As the sun sets behind the island (which looks like a turtle), the scenery becomes cinematic.
- The "Shot": Use a zoom lens to bring the island closer as the sun hangs directly above it.
4. Ormos Panagias
Even though it's on the eastern side, sunset time at Ormos Panagias offers incredible pastel colors in the sky as the light reflects off the calm waters of the harbor filled with fishing boats.
- The "Shot": The reflections of traditional wooden boats on the water.
5. The Castle of Toroni
At the southern tip of Sithonia, the ruins of the ancient castle (Lykithos) provide a historic backdrop for your photos.
- The "Shot": The contrast between the ancient stone walls and the deep red sky.
Tips for Perfect Photos:
- The Golden Hour: The best time is about 20-30 minutes before sunset. The light is softer and flatters both faces and landscapes.
- Focus on the right spot: If you're shooting with a mobile phone, tap on the brightest part of the sky to balance the exposure.
- Don't forget the "Blue Hour": Immediately after the sun goes down, the sky turns a deep blue. It’s the ideal time for atmospheric shots.
