General: Halkidiki is my heaven

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT

Halkidiki is like heaven! For me, it has the best beaches and landscapes in northern Greece. Sithonia is a fantastic area. Just take care of your forests, because I was very sad to see that some of them were burnt down. The beaches of Halkidiki are gorgeous, my best is Lagomandra. Also Kassandra is nice village but something should be done with the traffic. Cars are stuck together for several m...

Beaches: Sandy Agios Mamas

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT

Nice and very, very long. Sand was all over on Agios Mamas. Our accomodation was close so we were frequent visitors:)) Great tavern by the beach, Mr Manolis is an excellent cook and his specialite is melitzanes papoutsaki, I believe. This dish is traditional Greek and it is actually eggplant stuffed with onions and minced meat. Our camping was close to Agios Mamas. Just book early because hote...

General: The area of contrasts

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT

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.

I wanted to visit the northern part of Greece for a long time, since I have been to most of the islands. So last summer we went to Halkidiki. We went in May and it was better because there weren't many people and beaches were almost isolate. We actually stayed in Moudania but rented a car to go on excursions. I particularly liked Ouranoupolis and took the boat to go on a trip around Agion Oros....

General: Relaxing and refreshing

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT

We have been spending our summer holidays in Halkidiki for many years, because it is easily accessible from my country, Bulgaria, by car. We used to go to Mola Kaliva but this summer we decided to go to Gerakini. We stayed in a large apartment with air-conditioning, TV and other facilities, like pool and balcony with panoramic view; the price was quite acceptable. In Halkidiki, we find quietnes...

Villages: Gerakini is less touristified than other places

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT

We were invited to a wedding in Thessaloniki and spent an additional week. The beaches are great, and the area in general is friendly. We stayed in Geraniki which is less "touristified" than other places in the area, and we liked that. Historical places were very interesting, but sometimes difficult to find. We very much enjoyed the local tavernas, and the food was great. A very positive expe...

Villages: You will remember your childhood

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT

The trip to Halkidiki was very good, although some parts of the highway around Tessaloniki were under construction. In Polychrono the attractions were only a few. Polyhrono is a quiet country-side village. The water was perfect (warm and crystal clear), the beach was pretty good (not very clean, but Ok!), the night life was poor (just tavernas!), a karting place, a disco and, far away on the ro...

General: One of the best places in Greece

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT
Halkidiki is one of my favourite places because it is full of vegetation and has terrific beaches.
It is known as one of the best places of Greece and is sure is.
The part called Cassandra (the first finger of the peninsula) is more touristic and lively. It is perfect for those who wish to combine entertainment and relaxation in a wonderful environment. It offers all kinds of acco...

General: A perfect place

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT
I spend my last summer holidays on the wonderful "island" of Halkidiki. In fact it?s not really an island, it is a peninsula situated in the north of Greece. I went to the second ?finger? of the peninsula, which is called Sithonia. It is the calmest part of Halkidiki and the perfect place for me and my girlfriend.
We stayed at a camping, went to many beautiful beaches (check out Ahlada, the ...

General: Perfect place for holidays

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:16 GMT
I went with a couple of friends to Halkidiki and we had a terrific time. We mainly stayed in the peninsula of Cassandra but we also went to some villages and beaches in Sithonia. We were amazed by the beauty and the quantity of the beaches and by the rich vegetation of the place. In comparison to the Cyclades (I have been to Amorgos, Paros, Santorini and Naxos) Halkidiki is an oasis of freshn...
