The area has some of the most beautiful beaches of Halkidiki.
Full of golden beaches, eucalyptus trees and a picturesque harbour lined with excellent fish-taverns, Neos Marmaras is the most cosmopolitan village of Sithonia.
It was built amphitheatrically on a top of a hill, surrounded by a pure blue sea. The village was founded in 1922 by some refugees from Asia Minor, joined by some of the inhabitants of Parthenionas in 1970.
Just outside the village stands the modern and luxurious hotel complex of Porto Carras, offering three hotels, a marina, an open-air theatre, a golf course and a casino.
In its vast lands citrus, almond and pistachio trees are cultivated, while its vineyards produce the well-known Carras wines. Combining sea, mountain and full entertainment, Neos Marmaras is a great place to go for those who want to enjoy dynamic and crazy holidays.

Entertainment in Greece
While you are visiting Greece, you can combine your holidays with attending some interesting art festivals.
You can find an updated list of running Festivals in Greece and to book your tickets here: Greek Festivals. Thanks God, the page is in English :)
The most famous festivals are: Athens Festival, that mostly take place at Lycabettus Theater and Epidaurous Festival, a festival dedicated to the ancient Greek theater. The official websites can be found here: Epidaurous. Fortunately enough, the last page includes many events through out Greece.
If you are visiting Syros or Cyclades, you could attend an event of the Aegean Festival, hosted at the Apollo Theater in Syros. If you have visited Syros, but you missed to visit Apollo, you should do it! An excellent place to be. The official website of the Festival is: Aegean Festival-Syros.
In case that you are visiting any part of North Greece on 15th August (Dekapentaugoustos in Greece), keep in mind that almost all the villages of North Greece celebrate Saint Mary's name day. Indeed, an important day for the Greek tradition and the local life. I am definitely recommending you to look and attend these events.
And for properties in Greece, please visit the link: House for sale in Greece
I will update you with more soon!
