Hotels of Greece

|
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.
