Hhalkidiki is one of the most beautiful areas and is developing into an international tourist resort.
Its morphology is characteristic with the three "foot" peninsulas being washed by the Aegean waters and ending in amazingly beautiful golden beaches.
Kassandra ,Sithonia and the peninsula of
Athos peninsula on which a very special
monastic city is built.
The discovery of a cranium belonging to an archaic man in the cave of Petralona in Chalkidiki verifies the ancient habitation of this area (at least 600.000 BC).
Chalkidiki has been closely related with legends and myths since ancient times.
During the Byzantine years Athos became a refuge place for the Orthodox and "dependencies" of the monasteries of Agion Oros were built on the whole peninsula
Polygiro is Chalkidiki's capital, built upon a "balcony" of Mt. Cholomontas with a view over the peninsula and the sea beyond that ,like a canvas to the glittering reflections of the sun.
Chalkidiki’s coasts have a total length of almost 500Km, a fact that give us a variety of choices; you can either spend your vacations calm and isolated or among many people and a cosmopolitan night-life or even a combination of both.
Chalkidiki’s second foot is the peninsula of Sithonia, which is washed by the Kassandrian Gulf and the Gulf of Agion Oros.
On sithonia you will meet equally charming places as the rest of Chalkidiki, impressive hotel buildings and many beaches ideal for all taste
