Dear visitors,
Welcome to our beloved Halkidiki, a blessed place that rightfully earns the praise of the Northern Greeks who claim, “There’s nothing like Halkidiki”. Get ready to surrender to the charm of its three stunning peninsulas – Kassandra, Sithonia, and the pre-Athos region [the third “leg”], encompassing the eastern coast of Halkidiki, the birthplace of the great philosopher Aristotle, and the renowned monastic state of Mount Athos.
What does a vacation in Halkidiki mean? Emerald beaches, dense pine forests, dreamy hotels, quaint seaside villages with fish taverns and cafes, beach bars nestled in coves, archaeological sites, and museums steeped in history, traditional villages, and the Petralona Cave.
Halkidiki has something that sets it apart from the rest of Greece. It is this uniqueness that combines the stunning – almost surreal – landscape, its nearly 1,000 beaches, the enticing blend of sea breeze and pine scent, vibrant festivals, rich cultural heritage, profound religious significance, exceptional local products, and divine cuisine.
Halkidiki is a little “land of wonders”. Explore it with all your senses and discover Greece’s “hidden treasure”, Halkidiki.
Welcome to Halkidiki!
