Halkidiki Reviews -General

They told me that Halkidiki has the best beaches and this is true! They are all clean (one by one, with no exception), although I think that some of them could be more organized. Gerakini, for example, where we stayed was nice but there were not enough sun beds and umbrellas for everyone. Hotels were nice but most were actually apartments to rent, not big hotels with international standards. Food was excellent in every single tavern. Some menus were even written in bulgarian language, as Halkidiki receives many tourists from the Balcans. I also saw many immigrants working in Halkidiki, mostly in the taverns and in the fields. The locals seem to do nice job with the tourists, they are constantly friendly and smiling. It is very easy to have a chat with them and they can give you precious informaion about the best beaches, the best taverns or how to go from here there. I think that the Greek government should also develop the mountainous areas of Halkidiki, not just the beaches. Roads in the mountainous for example were very unsafe and narrow.
