DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF HALKIDIKI
Halkidiki is home to beautiful beaches, dramatic waterfalls, and spectacular ancient ruins – a hidden gem in northern Greece. With 3 peninsulas to choose from, you’ll discover everything from popular beaches and secret coves to clifftop Byzantine monasteries. That means you get to lay back and work on your tan, or explore to your heart’s content – the choice is yours.
In Kassandra, you’ll find the resort towns of Kallithea and Hanioti – both offering white, sandy beaches and a wide choice of hotels including family-friendly all inclusives and exclusive spa retreats. In neighbouring Sithonia, you’ll discover dozens of unspoiled beaches away from the crowds, while the wonderful cliff-top monasteries of Athos can be seen on a boat tour from either peninsular.
Wherever you base yourself in Halkidiki, you’re in for a real treat. Even in the summer months, you’ll always find a place to lay down your towel and enjoy the area’s Caribbean-like beaches. The hotels are well-equipped for families and couples alike, so whether you’re after an action-packed beachside hotel with world-class amenities, or a tranquil escape for adults-only – it’s all here.
