Kavourotrypes (Orange Beach) : Unlocking the White Rock Labyrinth of Sithonia

Kavourotrypes—often called “Orange Beach”—is arguably the most beautiful coastline in Greece. It is a 5-kilometer stretch of white, wind-sculpted limestone “rooms,” where the pine trees grow horizontally over the turquoise water. However, it has a problem: It is a victim of its own beauty. By land, the dirt roads are chaotic and the small beaches are overflowing.

The “Lux Sea” secret? The most breathtaking parts of Kavourotrypes aren’t even accessible by land.

The “Faces” in the Rocks

From the water, you can see the legendary sculptures carved into the limestone by local artists over the decades—including the famous “Dolphin” and the “Mermaid.”

• The Hidden Coves: Beyond the main “Orange Beach,” there are dozens of “Micro-Coves” (like Mega Portokali) that are separated by sharp rocks. On our boats, we “cove-hop” until we find a private one just for you.

• The View of Athos: Kavourotrypes offers the most iconic view of the Mount Athos peak across the water. On a clear day, the marble pyramid of the Holy Mountain feels like it’s within arm’s reach.

The Stealth Specialist: 2024 Compass 7s

The coastline here is jagged and intricate.

• Shallow Access: The Compass 7s is the “surgical” way to see Kavourotrypes. We can navigate the boat into the small rocky “lagoons” where the water is only a meter deep, allowing you to swim in total seclusion.

• Agility: If one cove is busy, the Compass 250hp engine lets us relocate to the next “hidden room” in seconds.

The Photography Platform: 2026 Saxdor 270 GTO

The contrast of the white rocks, the emerald pines, and the Saxdor’s sleek lines is a photographer’s dream.

• Stability for the Shot: Even if there is a light breeze, the Saxdor stays rock-solid. Use the walk-around deck to get the perfect shot of the “Mermaid” rock without the land-based crowds blocking your view.

• Performance Dash: Want to combine Kavourotrypes with a lunch run to Sarti? The Saxdor makes the southern coast of Sithonia feel like your personal playground.

Total Coastal Comfort

To experience this rugged, wild coastline without sacrificing Italian luxury, the Cranchi Zaffiro 34 is our premier third choice. It allows you to watch the sunset over the white rocks of Kavourotrypes from a shaded, comfortable cockpit with a cold drink in hand.
