Chalkidiki Peninsula - luxurious holidays with the scent of the sea

The three promontories of the Chalkidiki Peninsula - Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos - resemble Poseidon's trident. They are surrounded by secluded and turquoise bays. Thessaloniki is located in the north-west of the peninsula - the second largest city in Greece. Chalkidiki's typically Mediterranean climate ensures dry and hot weather in the summer months. In July and August, temperatures reach up to 34 degrees. You can count on less hot weather in the spring and autumn months. Then the Chalkidiki Peninsula is not so crowded with tourists. The most popular headland of the Chalkidiki Peninsula - Kassandra is teeming with life, a place of open-air events, numerous beach bars, restaurants and discos. The holiday fun zone starts practically at the base of the headland and stretches with white beaches, the most popular of which is Kalithea. The very end of the headland and the Loutra spa are a bit quieter and less populated. Attention is drawn to Cape Paliouri and the lighthouse towering over it. In turn, Afitos, a town hanging over a high cliff, tempts with its pine groves. The central headland - Sithonia with the main town of Marmaras, is an offer for vacationers looking for contact with nature, a slightly quieter holiday, intimate meetings with locals and a unique atmosphere. Sithonia also boasts the most beautiful coastline - crystalline and hot bays, along which there is a beautiful scenic route with Mount Athos emerging in the distance. The northern tip of the Peninsula is Athos. It is dominated by a XNUMXth century Byzantine tower. From Athos you can sail on excursion boats towards the fabulously beautiful Drenia islands. White rocks, azure sea and its rich fauna and flora tempt diving enthusiasts.

Traces of prehistory and antiquity

The history of the Chalkidiki Peninsula dates back to the 200th century BC, and the ruins of the sanctuaries of Zeus and Dionysus can still be seen today. A trace of prehistory is the Petralona Cave located near Thessaloniki and a XNUMX-year-old human skull found there. Luxury holidays, relaxation for the body and soul are for everyone! Carter Travel Agency will be happy to take you to this beautiful corner of the world. .
