Sani is a pretty holiday village that perches perfectly upon the velvety soft shores of one of Halkidiki’s stunning peninsulas. This resort may be small, but that’s all part of the beauty of this tranquil paradise. Fine white sands rest alongside vibrant green pine trees forming incredibly refreshing, scenic views. There’s even a picturesque harbour, nestled in the heart of town, where you can take a wander and experience the wonder of this town’s past life as a simple fishing village, before becoming a rising star in the world of relaxing Greek beach escapes.
Beaches
Kissed by the gentle waves of the Aegean Sea, Sani’s main beach boasts a beautiful, golden crescent that stretches out for seven long kilometres into the distance. Spend your days sun-soaking in the glorious Greek sunshine, whilst your worries melt away as you take in the soothing deep-blue sea views. The beaches here slope gradually into the sea, so these warm, shallow waters are perfect for everyone from confident swimmers and even toe dippers too! If you’re an avid explorer, take to the coastlines for an adventure and discover plenty of screen-saver worthy stretches of silky smooth sands. For wide, open oceans, craggy costal cliffs and plenty of sun bathing space, take a trip to the north of the Island where the elegant sands of Stavronikita Beach lie ready and waiting…
Food & Drink
Sani cuisine takes influences from its Mediterranean roots, meaning rich olive oils, rustic flatbreads and marinated meats frequently take the limelight in these parts of town. If you fancy trying a local dish, add some cheesy goodness to your meal with a side of halloumi. This superstar staple of Greek kitchens is well loved across the islands, and if you’re anything like us, you won’t be able to get enough of the stuff! Discover Sani’s authentic cooking style with a trip to the marina. You’ll be spoilt for choice with elegant seafront dining options, cosy cafes with ambient outdoor terraces and cocktail bars serving everything from the classic minty Mojito to tropical and creative new concoctions.
Culture
Sani Festival is the shining highlight of the Halkidiki cultural calendar. This highly anticipated event celebrates all things artsy, with magical modern dance and musical performances from around the world. Taking over the town from mid-July through until the end August, it’s a cherished tradition in this part of the island that’s been held for over 25 years! So make sure you plan to catch a gig or a show whilst you’re here. Foodies are also in for a treat. Each May, the Sani Gourmet food festival takes over the town’s restaurants, celebrating the culinary skills of Michelin star chefs from the far corners of the world. Book your table in advance for this one, as you won’t want to miss this luxurious feast.
Nightlife
Laid back and low key, Sani nightlife is the epitome of Greek luxury. Wind down from your day over some chilled-out drinks as you watch the sunset with your loved ones. Our favourite spot to do this has to be the Anemos Beach Bar, which sits right next to Sani’s main sandy stretch. Add a touch of class to your evening with a trip to Imeros Cocktail Bar. This intimate venue serves spectacular fine wine and ice-cold beers. Many of the resort’s top hotels also offer fantastic entertainment options, from live music performances to comedic tribute acts and carefully-rehearsed musicals that will truly get you in the holiday spirit.
