Explore Halkidiki’s Peninsula

Halkidiki (Chalkidiki) is probably one of the most beautiful regions in Macedonia. This unique area of Greece comprises three peninsulas (Kassandra, Sithonia, and Agion Oros, or Mount Athos) extending into the Aegean Sea. Although somewhat similar, they all have differences. While Kassandra boasts a rich history with various archaeological sites, pristine sandy beaches, lush forests, and a vibrant nightlife, Sithonia is the low-key area with fewer tourists and luxuriant vegetation. Agion Oros, better known as Mount Athos, is a monastic independent state where women and children are forbidden to enter. Ouranopolis, at the border, is in stark contrast to the religious community.
