Beaches in Halkidiki are beautiful and clean. I personally love sandy beaches and pine trees so the best choice for me is Sithonia in
Halkidiki. Villages and nightlife are better in Kassandra. There are no significant historical monuments in Halkidiki, especially compared to Sterea Elada, Atica, Peloponissos and islands, such as Crete. I love greek food and we often prepared it at home. Since we live in neighborhood in the Balkans, we share same taste so we enjoy greek restaurants and gyros-houses. Make sure not to forget your driving licence! Or simply come by car. There are so many places you need to explore and feel in Halkidiki. Do not spend your vacation sitting on one single beach in one single place! Also you will really enjoy shoppingin Thessaloniki, the second biggest town in Greece: try the shopping malls, Mediterranean Cosmos, Ikea and Tsimiski and Egnatia avenues.
