Discover Nikiti and Sithonia

We are building in Nikiti. Not a place out of a brochure, but the one we stand in when something goes wrong on site — and where we look for the same taverna in the evening that you will.

This guide collects what we were missing ourselves. Distances instead of superlatives. Limitations instead of gloss. It grows as the house does.
