Sarti beach view, Sithonia.
Sarti
is a friendly, comfortable, small town in the south of the Greece's
Sithonia Peninsular. The beach is not as wonderful as some down the
road a few miles, but those don't have a fair selection of bars, restaurants,
shops or accommodation. The sand here is generally a little coarse
and the sea - fanned by a steady breeze - can be choppy, but experienced
travellers who are in the mood for the perfect beach will simply jump
on their scooters and head off for the day.
Others will enjoy the views across to Mt Athos and stroll to the far
south end of Sarti's beach where there are mini dunes and finer sand.

A
fine block of new domatia [apartments] designed for foreigners, facing
Mt Athos and only 5 metres from the beach. On the right is an old
Greek cottage complete with old Greek widow.
Like much of Greece, Sarti is growing, with smart new domatia appearing
regularly, and one suspects, little old cottages disappearing just
as regularly.
Domatia like these are well equipped, very clean, with balconies overlooking
the beach and a useful little kitchen. Twenty metres away in the street
behind are grocer stores, restaurants and bars.

Domatia [plural] like these are well equipped, very clean, often with balconies overlooking the beach and a useful little kitchen and costing not much more than €20 or €30.
