It's on a private bay and is surrounded by a natural forest. With only a couple of holiday properties on the island, it remains one of Halkidiki's unexploited areas, which explains how its retained its pure natural beauty. For picking up fresh local produce or holiday essentials, Diaporos is right across the Greek mainland from Vourvourou village on the Sithonia peninsula. There you'll find a couple of local shops and restaurants, as well as pine forests to explore and sandy beaches. Diaporos Island is located 5 min by boat from Vourvourou and 10 min from the village Ormos Panagias which have some of Halkidiki's best fish restaurants. It's a really intimate & private place surrounded by stunning beaches and crystal clear water.

It's a really calm and peaceful place & on the meantime it's just 5 min by boat to go to all the restaurants/shops/bars. From Diaporos, there many reefs where you can snorkel. Diaporos also belongs to a complex of islets including Kalogria, Ambelitsi, Kalamonisia, Prassonisi, Peristera and Agios Isodoros. You can reach them by renting a private boat or paddle on a kayak or canoe to the secluded coves. The Blue Lagoon is also an extraordinary marvel in Halkidiki. It's a small strait between Diaporos Island and another small island and has a shallow bay with a white sandy bottom. This combination of sand and the shallow depth allows for a glacier blue colour to the water. From above it appears as if somebody turned on the underwater lights to illuminate the lagoon like a brilliant gem – it's stunning! For lazy afternoons on the beach, Vourvourou also has an excellent option, or you could head to Karidi on the south end. It's known as one of Halkidiki's most photogenic beaches with powder-soft sand. For culture lovers, the region's notable archaeological sites include Aristotle's birthplace and Olynthus, known for its well-preserved mosaic floors. They're both must-sees!
