The area is very safe. There are many beach events like concerts and beach parties organized across Sithonia and within Nikiti during summertime. An international swimming marathon takes place in Nikiti. It is organized every year since 1970. The athletes start from the beach of Kallithea in Kassandra and finish in Nikiti covering a distance of about 25km. It usually takes place after mid-July and it is more like a local festival as many other events accompany the main swimming event. For the kids there is a big playground with cars and swings. In the evening, children and the parents can enjoy ice cream or Greek traditional sweets. At night the action continues to happen around the beach promenade. Evening with its vivid sunsets attracts couples to the beachfront restaurants and tavernas looking for a romantic sunset dinner. As the night moves along the restaurants tend to fill up and remain festive until late.
