Halkidiki is the place of contrasts. You can fing both virgin beaches or large coasts filled with umbrellas and sun beds. We stayed in Vourvourou. In Ormos Panagia, 3 km from our hotel, we took the boat to Ouranoupolis and Mount Athos. The food in Halkidiki is excellent nad the prices are OK, except for the big fish dishes which are expensive.
