The Halkidiki Peninsula drops three long fingers into the Aegean, all lushly forested and lined with white, sandy coves. Each of the regions has its own character, with Kassandra inviting eager sun seekers, and more laid-back Sithonia and Athos catering to nature-focused travellers and pilgrims. Our Guru’s pick of the best places to stay in Halkidiki spans all three peninsulas, promising something for everyone in this beautiful part of Greece.
Still relatively undiscovered by tourists in comparison to the Greek islands, Halkidiki has been primarily a destination for pilgrims and heritage enthusiasts until very recently. Each of the three parts of the peninsula has its own distinctive character, perfect for keen explorers of all ages and interests. Kassandra is the peninsula with the liveliest infrastructure, where you’ll find the most glamorous resorts and bustling villages. The villages of Sani and Skala Fourkas promise the best nightlife in the region.
The sleepy region of Sithonia, on the other hand, is famed for its white sandy beaches and secluded campsites. Journey to Olynthos to marvel at the oldest mosaics ever discovered in Greece, and to amble between lovely stone villages. Tranquil Athos, Halkidiki’s third region, is home to the ancient Mount Athos monastic community and most visitors are still dedicated pilgrims. Whichever region you choose, keen hikers and ramblers will be thrilled with unspoilt paths across green hills and meadows brimming with wildflowers. This is quiet, rural Greece at its most charming — and the best places to stay in Halkidiki keep guests returning again and again.
