Holidays in Halkidiki

 

An introduction to Halkidiki

This three-pronged peninsula spearing the northern Aegean overflows with pleasures and treasures. We're talking sun-drenched sandy beaches straight from a storybook. Lush hills studded with timeless hamlets and serene monasteries. Haunting Roman ruins, Byzantine watchtowers and prehistoric caves. All rubbing shoulders with gorgeously unspoilt harbour villages and charming family-friendly resorts. What more could anyone possibly want? Yet each of Halkidiki's peninsulas has its own personality. The most visited is Kassandra, to the west. And it's easy to see why. Here, breathtaking sands are framed by Caribbean-esque waters and stunning green hillsides, which give way to peaceful old-time hamlets and bigger resorts offering exciting evening entertainment. The next peninsula, Sithonia, is wilder and more rugged, with secluded coves interspersed with sandy bays whose beauty will make your heart skip a beat. Up above, steep hills cloaked in fragrant pine forests evoke a feeling of Austria or Scotland, beckoning walkers and outdoor-lovers up into their arms. And finally, there's mystery-cloaked, silent Mount Athos. The easternmost of Halkidiki's peninsulas, this holy region is a secretive land of monasteries and is closed to most ordinary visitors. The only way to experience it is on a cruise along its shores. It's fairytale stuff. And all part of the spell that this bewitching region is sure to cast over you.
