This duplex suite sits in Paradisos, on the right side of Neos Marmaras on the Sithonia peninsula, and comes with a private pool and outdoor furniture for the days that don't call for the beach at all. Inside, the 37m² layout sleeps up to four adults across one double bed and one double sofa bed, with a kitchen fitted with a stove, microwave and fridge, plus a Nespresso machine for the mornings. A safe deposit box, satellite TV and Wi-Fi cover the practical side of things, and mosquito nets on the windows are a small but welcome detail for summer nights.

Paradisos Beach, roughly 1,100 metres of sand and pebble with shallow water, has held the Blue Flag for several years running and lies just a couple of kilometres from Neos Marmaras itself. Around the beach there are about seven dining options, from simple tavernas to beach bars, and Neos Marmaras adds its own run of restaurants, mini markets, banks and a health centre for anything else that's needed during a stay.
