Why you shouldn’t miss Orange Beach
If you’re vacationing on the Halkidiki peninsula, don’t miss the chance to take an exciting trip to a very beautiful — we’d even say unique — place. We’re talking about the beach called Kavourotrypes, also known as Orange Beach.
You can get to this beach by car, and right now we’ll tell you how. Get behind the wheel and take the road that leads from Vourvourou to Sarti. On the way, watch the signs carefully so you don’t accidentally miss the one you need — it will say “Kavourotrypes” or “Orange Beach”. If you miss it, you’ll have to turn back and look for it again, and because the roads are narrow and winding, you’ll need to spend quite a bit of time doing that.
Once you reach the beach, you’ll be amazed by its beauty and the color of the water. The shoreline draws attention with its unusual shapes, and here, in the rock, you can also see the remains of the “Petrified Mermaid” sculpture that was destroyed in 2015. By the way, it was destroyed by none other than the author himself, Dionysis Karipidis.
Overall, Orange Beach is very popular with tourists. If you check Instagram, you’ll see photos of many famous people (and not only them) relaxing on this very beach.
There are always lots of visitors here; many arrive by car and pitch tents on the shore. In other words, as you can imagine, even “wild” camping is not forbidden on Orange Beach.
Come to Orange Beach, make sure you find a free spot on the sand, go for a swim in the sea, and of course take a few beautiful photos for your Instagram! Have a great trip and a wonderful vacation on one of the most beautiful beaches in Halkidiki!
