Halkidiki
Halkidiki: A Truly Unique Destination
Halkidiki boasts an amazing 550km of coastline, featuring a thousand different beaches, some offering an endless expanse of golden sand or rocky pebbles. Some beaches are crowded-socializing spots, while others are no more than deserted coves among the rocks. All of them are blessed with crystal clear waters reflecting the deep green of the pine-tree forests.
Halkidiki is famous for its olives, its high quality olive oil, its fine breads and cheeses, as well as for its traditional sweets and pastries made with delicious local fruits. The region is also well known for producing honey of the highest quality as well as wine being cultivated in the several wine routes of the region. This is the ideal place to enjoy the healthy tastes of the Mediterranean diet and to savor dishes made from the purest natural ingredients.
Halkidiki offers a series of alternative tourism proposals, including sea sports, mountain biking, spa facilities, hiking, agro tourism, religious tourism and sports opportunities. The region offers an unlimited choice of activities, ideal for those who love to keep busy.
Greece is famous for its 24/7 entertainment, its clubs, restaurants and bars buzzing with life until the early hours of the morning. For those seeking fun and entertainment outside the resort, Halkidiki has plenty to offer: morning coffee in a traditional kafeneion (Greek coffee shop), cocktails at the beach bars until the sun goes down, dinner at traditional tavernas or upscale restaurants and festive Latin, Jazz or mainstream nights.
The most enchanting peninsula of Halkidiki is by far Mount Athos, home to the unique Orthodox community of monasteries. It is a place dedicated solely to prayer and worship of God, known informally as the Garden of the Virgin Mary. Mount Athos is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.
