The sandspit with the lighthouse

Defined by Possidi Cape — a long natural sandspit that pokes into the sea and changes shape with the currents, with crystal water on both sides. On Kassandra.

On the cape stands a whitewashed lighthouse from 1864 that still operates, and nearby survive ruins of a temple of Poseidon (the source of the name). Quiet, famous for its sunsets.
