Gerakina is quite a small settlement but with plenty of tourist facilities. It manages to retain its Greek charm partly due to the size and partly due to the warmth of the Greek people.

The beach at Gerakina leads down to translucent waters where you can cool off from the sun's rays. It's a great location for sun worshippers looking for a beach on which they can completely relax.
Try some of the local cuisine for a real taste of Greece. Fresh fish and shellfish are particularly popular in Halkidiki. They will usually be served with a Greek salad, and washed down with a glass of local ouzo.
Nightlife here is geared more towards peace and quiet than hustle and bustle. When evening comes, wander around the shops or stroll along the coastline, before settling down with a cold, refreshing glass of wine to watch the glorious Greek sun set over the sea.
Gerakina has some good shopping if you're looking for something to take home such as local handicrafts, jewellery or souvenirs. However this isn't the place to come for boutiques and designer labels.
Away from the beach, the main attraction is Mount Athos and its mysterious monasteries. The scenery is spectacular, with narrow paths running parallel to the shore or weaving through scented hills and forests.
