Leisure Activities

Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is within easy reach of Halkidiki and is Greece’s second city, so it’s well worth a visit. It’s home to the biggest church in Greece, the Basilica of Sant Demetrios and with its quaint cobbled streets, it’s like going back in time.

Kassandra Peninsula

If you fancy a bit of activity on your vacation, the Kassandra Peninsula is perfect for walkers. Apart from the stunning white sandy beaches, if you travel inland, there are picturesque villages with tavernas offering delicious menus featuring locally grown produce. For bird watchers there’s a fantastic pine forest.

Blue Lagoon Cruise

What better way to spend a relaxing day than to cruise around the coast of Sithonia. Explore inaccessible beaches and snorkel in the sea in remote inlets under a stunning blue sky.

More About Halkidiki

Halkidiki comprises of the three peninsulas of Kassandra, Sithonia and the UNESCO World Heritage monastic site of Mount Athos. In total, you will find over 500 km of scenic coastline with more than 70 Blue Flag glorious sandy beaches. The scenery is stunning with endless sandy beaches and azure waters, hills and pine forests, picturesque villages, family-friendly resorts and fine archaeological, historical and religious sites. Each of the peninsulas has its own characteristics - most holiday resorts are sited in Kassandra, Sithonia has lots of secluded coves plus charming fishing villages and Athos is a close monastic community where the entrance is only allowed to men with special permission. You can still admire the majesty of Mount Athos and the interesting monasteries that are set along the edge if you join one of the popular boat trips which run along the coast. Our must-visit beaches are Orange beach in Sithonia which can only be accessed on foot but you‘re rewarded with soft sand, white rock hills, greenery and turquoise waters and Chrouso beach on the Kassandra peninsula which has a long stretch of sand and wonderfully shallow waters.
