About Halkidiki
Image
Text
Oozing culture, swoon-worthy seafronts and a welcome as warm as the weather, this jewel in northern Greece shows off something for everyone. It's a trio of peninsulas where luxury hotels sit alongside rural retreats and a bounty of beaches glimmer under the Greek sunshine. Kassandra's swish resorts are the star of the show, but make sure you sink into Sithonia’s knockout beaches too. Rolling hills of herbs, honey and juicy olives mean there’s flavour-filled cuisine to look forward to, while ancient relics mean there’s a heap of history to dig into. We’re talking cultural sites like Ancient Stagira and Petralona Cave, which is famous for its prehistoric discoveries! Halkidiki has something for everyone, and it’s also all within easy reach of the city of Thessaloniki.

It’s great if you’re seeking solace and splendid weather away from the buzz of your typically busier Greek destinations. And thanks to tasty homegrown produce, the food is second to none.
