Diaporos Island Island

Diaporos Island is a small island off the east coast of the Sithonia peninsula in Chalkidiki (Central Macedonia), Greece. It lies in the Toroneos Gulf and is part of the coastal island group off Sithonia.

The island is best known for its beaches, shallow bays and clear water, making it a common destination for day boats and private yachts during the summer months. There are no large settlements on the island and facilities are limited compared with the nearby peninsular resorts.

Historically the island has been used primarily for local fishing and seasonal recreational visits rather than as a permanent population center. Land use remains largely recreational and maritime.

Geographically it sits off Sithonia in the northern Aegean region of Greece, within the municipal area of Chalkidiki.
