SIGHTS

Halkidiki boasts a compelling blend of picture-perfect beaches, interesting archaeological discoveries, and adventures. It is no wonder that the region is such a sought-after holiday destination. 

Nestled between the peninsula’s mountains and the Aegean Sea lies a wealth of sights to uncover. The Byzantine Tower of Prosphorio, dating back to 1344, welcomes voyagers into the port of Ouranoupolis and is a must-see and serves as the gateway to the holy Mount Athos with its 20 monasteries. This World Heritage Site has Eastern Orthodox monasteries going back to the 8th century AD, and is still in use to this day. If history and archaeology pique your interest, there is plenty to explore. The limestone Petralona Cave, with its mesmerising stalagmite and stalactite formations, is home to a wealth of fossils. Head to Aristotle’s Park, the birthplace of Aristotle in the ancient Stagira, for a historical adventure, or visit Olynthos, a city deeply rooted in Greek mythology and Arnea where Macedonian architecture takes centre stage. Don’t miss the chance to feel the beating heart and rhythm of Thessaloniki, a vibrant city eclectically rich in museums, shopping opportunities and delectable local cuisine specialties. Halkidiki, with its coastal gems, traditional villages, olive groves and pine trees, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts; whether you want to explore the natural sights from a yacht, bicycle or on foot, there is something for everyone. The biodiverse Cholomontas Mountain, with its lush vegetation, is rich in fauna and against the backdrop of awe-inspiring landscapes and views, tranquility is up for grabs, giving visitors a real chance to connect with nature.
