Halkidiki Holidays – Authentically Greek beach paradise
Halkidiki holidays are something of a Greek holiday secret. Holiday resorts in Halkidiki receive far less attention than their Greek island holiday rivals. Holidays in Halkidiki are based on a three-pronged peninsula in Northern Greece, served by flights to Salonica (Thessalonica) airport. Beach holidays in Halkidiki are blessed with over 300 miles of superb, varied coastline with clean sandy beaches, sheltered bays, cliffs and small coves backed by mountains. Relatively restrained development means unspoilt, uncrowded Halkidiki beaches are easy to find. Completely undeveloped Halkidiki beaches can be found on the Sithonia peninsula. As holidays in Halkidiki are popular with discerning Greeks, Halkidiki holidays enjoy rather more authentically Greek flavoured restaurants and nightlife than the islands. Halkidiki holiday nightlife tends to revolve around romantic waterfront tavernas and live music rather than all-night discos. The busiest Halkidiki holiday resort is Kallithea, where you will find the liveliest Halkidiki nightlife.
Halkidiki Beach Resorts – The gorgeous Kassandra peninsula
Most Halkidiki holiday resorts are on the beautiful Kassandra peninsula. Beach holidays in small relaxing Halkidiki resorts like Afitos, Polichrono and Pefkohori, combine good sandy Halkidiki beaches with pretty, traditional villages set back from the sea. Halkidiki family holidays in resorts like Fourka, Hanioti and Kriopigi are well placed for exploring fine Kassandra beaches and traditional terracotta villages. Upmarket beach holidays in Halkidiki tend to focus on the Sithonia peninsula.
Holidays in Halkidiki – Explore beautiful countryside
Halkidiki holidays offer excellent walking, with good marked trails exploring mountains, hills and farmland full of sunflowers, fruit orchards, olive groves and vineyards. Walking holidays in Halkidiki are particularly rewarding in spring when the island is covered in wild flowers. Worthwhile Halkidiki holiday excursions include the Petrolona Cave and vibrant, cosmopolitan Thessalonica. Family holidays in Halkidiki could include the Waterland theme park. No Halkidiki holiday should miss out on the extraordinary monasteries of Mount Athos or the incredible rock monasteries of Meteora.
