Kalithea – Popular sandy beach resort in an ideal central location
Kalithea Holidays offer one of the livelier resorts in the Halkidiki region. Holidays in Kalithea are based in a small and quite modern beach resort in the middle of the east coast of the Kassandra Peninsula, 75 minutes from Thessalonica airport. Kalithea holidays are popular with families, drawn by a good beach with gently shelving sand and calm shallow water. Kalithea holidays provide exceptionally safe conditions for swimming and excellent pale golden sand for sunbathing. Kalithea beach has consistently proved to be one of the most popular Kassandra Peninsula beach resorts. Many visitors find Kalithea holidays provide a lively comfortable base and an ideal central peninsula location for exploring the fine beaches, dramatic mountains and traditional villages of the Halkidiki region.
Kalithea holidays – A popular choice for beach fans and children
Kalithea holidays offer a good all-round mix of beach, reasonably lively nightlife and modern facilities. Kalithea beach is a popular choice with swimmers and children, and is attractively set on a wide bay prettily backed by forested low hills with fine views across the gulf. Holidays in Kalithea provide facilities for watersports, including scuba diving, paragliding, waterskiing and windsurfing. Most Kalithea holiday restaurants and bars are found on the main resort road and also down along the waterfront, the two areas divided by a short but quite steep climb. A further cluster of Kalithea holiday restaurants are found to the south of Kalithea beach. Holidays in Kalithea enjoy a wider choice of nightlife than neighbouring resorts, with the village being quite animated in the main summer months, with a mix of music bars, family oriented entertainment and a couple of discos open until quite late.
Holidays in Kalithea – Excursions to atmospheric mountain villages
Holidays in Kalithea should find time to visit some of the tiny atmospheric villages in the interior of the peninsula for fine views, a glimpse of tranquil traditional village life, a quiet drink and perhaps a meal in a characterful taverna under a shady plane tree. Kalithea holidays offer ancient history enthusiasts several sites, including remains of the Doric sanctuary to Zeus, by the sea. Popular Kalithea holiday excursions include tours of atmospheric inland mountain villages, boat trips to Mount Athos, and the monasteries of Athos (men only).
