Southeast of Thessaloniki is the peninsula of Halkidiki which boasts some of the finest beaches in all of Greece. Kassandra is the most westerly of the three prongs of Halkidiki. It is remarkable for its sandy beaches, pine forests and small villages as well as for the impact tourism has had upon it. The entire Kassandra peninsula has several major hotels and organized camping grounds, many surrounded by woods and close to the beaches. There are also many smaller hotels and rooms available though difficult to find without booking in advance. Sithonia is less tourist-impacted than Cassandra though it still boasts some of the area's most popular and attractive resorts including the Porto Carras Grand Resort and Golf Course, one of the largest and best in Greece. There are still small hidden sandy beaches particularly on the east coast. The third and most eastern peninsula is where Mount Athos is located which is to Greece as the Vatican is to Rome, a religious state within a state which you need special permission to visit (and if you are a woman you can't go there at all). But you can go as far as Ouranopoulos which has beaches, hotels, seafood tavernas and is the last town before the no-mans-land between the Holy mountain and the un-holy rest of the world. See Matt's Halkidiki Page Click on the links below to see my recommended hotels followed by other highly rated accommodations. A great way to plan your trip is my Create-an-itinerary page which allows you to put together a custom itinerary with the help of a travel agency with no obligation to book. You can find recommended travel agencies on Matt's Travel Agencies and Tours Page. Because many of these hotels you are going directly to the hotel’s booking page you won’t find customers reviews and the descriptions were written by the hotels. You can find reviews by googling the name of the hotel and location or Searching Booking.com. But please come back here to book the hotel and help support my websites. Or get assistance from one of my reliable travel agencies. |
