Talgo Beach(Paralia Talgo)

Located in the coastal village of Vourvourou on the eastern coast of the Sithonia peninsula in Greece, Talgo Beach is a small, very popular beige sand beach with many rocky portions.  The beach is positioned in a sheltered inlet along the Singitic Gulf and has a beautiful backdrop of a beachfront bar, unique rocky formations, and forested mountains, which together provide incredible views of the uninhabited islet of Kallogria, Mount Athos, and the Aegean Sea.

Talgo Beach does not have lifeguards but offers many other amenities, including showers, restrooms, shady areas, a bar with parasols, and sunbed rental facilities.

Talgo Beach offers several fun activities, including sunbathing, swimming, beachcombing, hiking, and fishing.  If you are planning to go into the water, the beach has a safe swimming area, but the water is known to have rocky bottoms.  If you enjoy fishing, you may catch a variety of fish.   Hikers can enjoy the nearby hiking trails, which offer unique insights into the local biodiversity.  Talgo Beach is considered a party beach – there is a beach bar with the same name that hosts many interesting live events and parties which attract a large influx of younger beachgoers, especially during the weekends.  Because of this, the beach gets very crowded and we recommend reserving sunbeds and parasols in advance of your visit.  Dogs are allowed if they are on a leash, and the beach is open from sunrise until sunset.

Talgo Beach does not offer an access path for people with disabilities.

Getting to Talgo Beach is easy - the beach has a paid parking lot located at Vourvourou 630 78, which provides easy access to the beach.  After parking, visitors have to walk on a rugged path for five minutes to access the beach.

Talgo Beach is an ideal spot to enjoy beach parties while watching the sunset over the Sithonia Peninsula.
