Destinations
Step into the Aegean in Halkidiki

Discover Halkidiki / Thessaloniki

Halkidiki is an exotic paradise known for its three peninsulas which reach out into the Aegean Sea. They are perfectly surrounded by turquoise waters and Caribbean-style white beaches. Each tendril, Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos have their own unique atmosphere, but all reach temperatures in summer for sun worshippers to dream about.

At only 20km away, Thessaloniki is a short distance away with many complementing the city's friendly, upbeat vibe as you stroll through the centre.

A place to enjoy the sun go down

Find yourself on the Byzantine Walls at sunset for a simply stunning watchpoint. In Greece you should know that your night never comes to a cold end when the sun goes down. 

By night the Grecian waterfronts of Halkidiki and Thessaloniki are swarming with international holiday makers enjoying the steady row of cocktail bars. And if you enjoy local delicacies then you certainly won't go hungry during your stay. Delicious fish and seafood dishes are usually complimented with Macedonian; a strong-flavoured wine as old as the Roman times. Popular after dinner indulgences include cream or custard-filled pastries called Bougatsas and Trigona Panoramatos.
