Halkidiki-Sithonia

Chalkidiki – Greece’s Three-Finger Peninsula

Gently sloping sandy beaches, pine forests, and pine groves that extend down to the sea in secluded, picturesque bays characterize Chalkidiki. It is an ideal destination for surfers and sailors. The three peninsulas of Chalkidiki stretch into the Aegean Sea like three fingers. Kassandra, in the western part, features gentle hills, lively towns, and a wide range of leisure activities. Sithonia, in the middle, offers a more mountainous landscape and a more authentic character of the region—less developed for tourism, but with uniquely beautiful bays and turquoise waters. In the east lies the monastic republic of Mount Athos, accessible only to men, with around 20 monasteries. It belongs to the Greek state but is self-governed. What makes Mount Athos so fascinating is not only its lush vegetation, but also its monastic architecture, its unique mystical religious atmosphere, the treasures of ancient icons, and the oldest and most extensive Byzantine library. The “Avaton” rule still applies today for women. Only men are allowed to enter the Holy Mount Athos with special permission from the prefecture of Thessaloniki. From Ormos Panagias, daily boat excursions around Mount Athos are organized. On the Sithonia peninsula, our holiday homes are located directly on the beaches of Trikorfo, Nikiti, and Spathies, as well as on the eastern coast near Agios Nikolaos, Ormos Panagias, and Vourvourou.
