Halkidiki

Halkidiki is mostly famous for the amazing beach resorts. Due to the large size of the region, these resorts are innumerable and suit all preferences, so you will find both organized busy resorts or totally secluded places. The most tourist popular region is the first peninsula of Halkidiki, while the second is more calm and popular for camping. Sightseeings are many in the region, including the Cave of Petralona rich in stalactites and stalagmites, Byzantine towers, ancient sites and lovely monasteries. Very interesting is the boat trip from Ouranoupolis to Mount Athos. As entrance to the monastic community of Athos is prohibited, the boat makes the tour of this peninsula and visitors see the impressive monasteries from the sea.
