MORE ABOUT HALKIDIKI GREECE
Halkidiki Greece is a verdant peninsula located on the northern side of the country.
It has been a popular destination among the locals for a long time, mainly due to its short distance from Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece.
Standing out for its beautiful seaside resorts and exotic beaches, this area is one of a kind!
The peninsula is divided into three smaller peninsulas, Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos.
The first is the busiest one, the second is more secluded and popular for camping, while the third one hosts a closed monastic community that can only be accessed by male travelers under special permission.
If you manage to peel yourself away from the stunning beaches, you should go sightseeing! A drive around the region will get you to impressive sites such as the Cave of Petralona, Byzantine towers, ancient monuments and beautiful monasteries.
If you’re feeling up to it, you should do a boat tour from Ouranoupolis to Mount Athos. Since entrance to the Athos peninsula is not allowed to the public, the boat sails along the coastline, giving passengers the chance to marvel at the beautiful monasteries from the sea.
Halkidiki is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Greece, so expect to find a great selection of hotels and luxurious resorts, restaurants, bars and shops for every taste!
Whether you’re traveling with your family, friends or significant other, this area is one of the best Greek destinations you have to visit!
