Information about Chalkidiki

Halkidiki has become a much loved tourist destination. Its unique geographical formation has attracted tourism from all over the world, making it one of the most popular holiday attractions. Made up of three extended peninsulas reaching out from mainland Macedonia, Greece into the Aegean Sea, Halkidiki has possibly the largest stretch of sandy beaches, both populated and isolated within northern Greece.

The deeply indented coastline of 500km shapes four large gulfs and hundreds of smaller sandy alcoves. To the south, the shores of Halkidiki are washed by The Kassandra Gulf and The Mount Athos gulf. As the peninsulas do not exceed 40km in width at any point, Halkidiki is rather like 3 large islands, and therefore a beach is always close by.

The coastline of Halkidiki is of outstanding natural beauty and the combination of green landscapes and pine tree forests reaching down to the water's edge and reflecting into the calm sea, is truly unique to this area. Halkidiki can be easily accessed by car and is also very close to main city Thessaloniki (60 km) and The International Macedonia Airport of Thessaloniki, interlinked with a road network that is among the best in Northern Greece.
