Halkidiki holidays

About Halkidiki

Holidays to Halkidiki offer a unique opportunity to explore a lesser-known part of Greece's mainland. This three-fingered peninsula juts out into the Aegean Sea from the north of the country, and is home to some of the most stunning scenery in the country. The westernmost peninsula, Kassandra, is the most popular with visitors, and the town of Hanioti is a must-see, with its village square and evening markets. Sani is another great destination, boasting a Blue Flag beach and a yacht-filled marina. For a lively after-hours scene, head to Kalithea. Sithonia is wilder and more rugged than Kassandra, with tiny fishing villages and sprawling pine forests. Secluded coves and virgin bays line the coast, and numerous walking trails lead inland. Finally, Mount Athos is the easternmost of Halkidiki’s peninsulas, and while it is off limits to visitors, you can get a good look at the place with a boat trip around its shores.
