“There is nothing like Halkidiki”, say the people of northern Greece, and they know something. Prepare to succumb to the charm of its three beautiful peninsulas – Kassandra, Sithonia and the third “leg”, which includes the seaside town of Ouranoupoli and the famous monastic Mount Athos.
What does a holiday in Halkidiki mean? Emerald beaches, dense pine forests, dreamy hotels, small settlements by the sea with fish taverns and cafes, beach bars in coves, archaeological sites with a long history, traditional villages in Sithonia, the cave of Petraloni in Kassandra. A small “wonderland” is Halkidiki. Explore it with all of your senses.
Arnea and Afytos
Two different villages, two “jewel” villages. Each with its own tradition. Cobblestones, stone, traditional Macedonian architecture, restoration projects, museums. The picturesqueness takes you back to village life years ago.
The canal of Potidea
Behind the canal, the isthmus of the Kassandra peninsula. Behind the isthmus, a long history: the project was implemented by the Macedonian king Cassander, to facilitate navigation and protect the city.
The fir trees of Taxiarchis
Mountainous Halkidiki. The joy of Christmas is “cultivated” here. In the village of Taxiarchis in central Halkidiki, all families are engaged in the cultivation of fir trees on the beautiful mountain of Holomont.
