The three peninsulas of Halkidiki jut into the Aegean sea creating one fantastically varied holiday destination. Stay on Kassandra for its award winning beaches and popular tourist hotels that ensure families and couples alike have all they need for a relaxing Greek break in the sun. Visit Sithonia to discover small fishing villages tucked in secluded coastal bays and pine forests that roll down to the sea. The third peninsula, Mount Athos, is home to an ancient monastery and not accessible to visitors but you can enjoy a scenic boat trip to catch some beautiful pictures. Visit the birthplace of Aristotle and see the mosaic floors of Olynthus before returning to your resort hotel for an evening of cocktails and entertainment.
