[Maria Athanassopoulou]

Kallithea

Halkidiki lies roughly one hour from Thessaloniki and is a beloved summer destination for many people from all over the world. The beaches of the region are picturesque, accessible and well set up for tourism - and the nightlife is just as appealing, with plenty of restaurants, Greek tavernas, bars, and clubs.

 

Ouranoupoli

The last station in Halkidiki before the visitor takes a ride with the boats that sail around Mount Athos. Coastal place, beautiful, with azure waters, Ouranoupoli constitutes a very good summer destination on its own.

 

Olympiada,Chalkidiki

Olympiada is located on the northeast side of Halkidiki and about 90 km away from Thessaloniki. The area is protected by NATURA 2000 program and is suitable for relaxing summer holidays. The surrounding beaches are clean and most of them awarded  with Blue Flag. According to the local tradition, the village was named Olympiada after the mother of Alexander the Great.

 

Elia Beach

Chalkidiki at its best, with a beautiful sandy beach covered by people during the summertime! You will find the Elia Beach a few kilometers away from Nikiti. Its sparkling clean blue waters paint a charming picture you shouldn’t miss to enjoy at your very first chance!

 

Lagomandra beach

Lagomandra is one of the most beautiful beaches of Sithonia in Chalkidiki. It is just 7 kilometers away from Neo Marmara. You will be mesmerized by its golden-brown sand and the turquoise-green shades of the water, it’s a magical place! Lagomandra has become quite well-known to tourists during the last few years, so there’s no problem of accommodation, food or enjoying a good cup of coffee. One visit is enough to make you a fan of the area!
