Planning your 2026 summer holiday in Nikiti?
While the turquoise waters of Sithonia remain free, the landscape of beach bars and sunbed rentals has shifted. We’ve walked the entire Nikiti coastline—from the Saint George area to the southern tip—to bring you the most accurate pricing and "insider" tips for the 2026 season.
The 2026 Price Comparison Table
Beach Bar | Avg. Price (Set of 2) | Minimum Spend? | Reservation Policy | Best For... |
Kukunari | €20 - €30 | No (Pay per set) | WhatsApp Recommended | Families & Soft Sand |
Saint George | €15 - €25 | No | First-come, First-served | Casual vibes & easy parking |
Nalua | Consumption-based | €40 - €50 | Highly Recommended | Luxury & Cocktails |
Reis | Free with drinks | None | Walk-ins only | Budget-friendly / Quick dip |
Mango | €15 (Set Fee) | + €25 Spend | WhatsApp only | Trendy crowds & Music |
Local Insight: In 2026, many bars have moved away from "Free with Coffee" to a tiered pricing system where the front row (closest to the water) is significantly more expensive than the back rows.
Strategic Logistics: How to Secure the Best Spots on the Beaches
1. The "9 AM Rule"
During the peak season (July 15 – August 25), the best umbrellas in Nikiti are gone by 9:30 AM. If you are a walk-in, aim to arrive while the staff is still setting up the cushions.
2. WhatsApp is your Best Friend
In 2026, the "old school" phone call is out. Most popular spots now manage their bookings via WhatsApp.
Pro Tip: Message them 48 hours in advance. Most bars will hold your spot until 11:00 AM; if you aren't there by then, they will release your bed to the next person on the waiting list.
3. The "Southern Secret"
If the main Nikiti promenade is too packed, drive 3 minutes south toward the Saint George area. The beaches are wider, the parking is significantly easier, and you can often find a set of sunbeds for €15–€20 even at midday.
Frequently Asked Questions (2026 Edition)
Can I bring my own umbrella to Nikiti? * Yes! Greek law requires "Free Zones" between organized beach bars. Look for the gaps between the bars where you can set up your own gear for free.
Are sunbeds cheaper in the afternoon? * Often, yes. After 4:30 PM (16:30), many bars stop charging the "Set Fee" and move to a "Consumption Only" model as the morning crowd departs.
Is parking included? * At Saint George and Mango, yes. In central Nikiti, you will likely need to use the public parking lots behind the marina and walk 2–5 minutes.
