Halkidiki is a popular beach destination situated in the peninsular region of Central Macedonia, in northern Greece. It is especially known for its lovely beaches, blue waters and rocky stretches that grace the shoreline.

Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Flights to Halkidiki land at Thessaloniki-Macedonia Airport. If you’re planning to explore, car hire is a good option and you can pick up a car at the airport. Bus transfers involve taking a taxi to the bus station so, for an easier car-free alternative, it’s best to pre-book a shuttle or private transfer. The resorts of Kassandra are easy to navigate on foot but many tourists still opt for cars.
Find your Dream Resort
Most of the tourist action happens on the peninsula of Kassandra. The resort of Sani may be purpose-built but it boasts a charming marina and a safe, Blue Flag beach so it has character in (buckets and) spades. Hanioti too is popular for its Blue Flag beach and village feel. Kalithea also boasts beautiful beaches and a sophisticated nightlife.
See Fabulous Thessaloniki
As it’s only an hour’s trip away, most holidays in Halkidiki include a day trip to Greece’s second city Thessaloniki in the itinerary. Ornate church spires dominate the landscape and the city is well known for its ancient sites, including the ruins of a Roman palace dating back to the 3rd century and the White Tower. The restaurant-lined waterfront is a lovely place to stroll as you decide where to stop for lunch.
Try Cool Watersports
If you’re feeling daring, dive into the watersports available at the seaside town of Hanioti. This picturesque village has heaps of activities worth making a splash about, from windsurfing and water-skiing to scuba diving and parasailing. If you’re looking for a calmer ride across the waves, hire a pedalo and soak up the stunning views.
See Ancient Treasure
Halkidiki is home to several Byzantine towers. Browse ancient artefacts at the 14th century Pyrgos Prosforeiou museum in a restored tower at Ouranoupoli. See where rebellious islanders once barricaded themselves against their enemies. The old water mills on the slopes of the Tower of Galatista at the centre of the city are also worth putting on your checklist.
