Halkidiki
Northern Greece – Aegean Coast
Halkidiki is a stunning region of northern Greece, famous for its three peninsulas—Kassandra, Sithonia, and Mount Athos—each offering a different charm. Known for its crystal-clear waters, pine-fringed beaches, and relaxed atmosphere, Halkidiki is perfect for those seeking both natural beauty and authentic Greek culture.
Kassandra is the liveliest of the three, with bustling resorts, beach bars, and nightlife, while Sithonia offers a quieter, more unspoilt experience, with secluded coves and scenic hiking trails. The third peninsula, Mount Athos, is a spiritual centre home to historic monasteries, accessible only by boat (and restricted to male visitors).
Beyond the beaches, visitors can enjoy traditional villages, archaeological sites, and authentic tavernas serving fresh seafood and local wines. With its mix of relaxation, culture, and scenery, Halkidiki is a favourite summer escape for families, couples, and nature lovers alike.
Top Things to Do in Halkidiki:
- Relax on golden beaches such as Sani Beach, Kallithea, and Kavourotripes
- Take a boat cruise along the coast of Mount Athos to admire its monasteries
- Explore traditional villages like Afytos, with its cobbled streets and stone houses
