Halkidiki is a peninsular region, located to the north of Greece.
This region protrudes out into the Aegean Sea and as a result it gives rise to the formation of four gulfs: the Thermaic Gulf in the west, the Strymonic Gulf in the east and the Kassandra Gulf and Mount Athos Gulf on the south.
The entire region actually resembles like a hand with three |

Halkidiki has a vast coastline that stretches for more than 500 km. |

The beaches of Halkidiki in Kassandra Peninsula, the left foot, are usually sandy, while the beaches in the middle foot, Sithonia Peninsula, are rockier, but still very clean.
The area of Halkidiki is very tourist, particularly Kassandra, but due to its large size, there are still many quiet places. |
