OVERVIEW

NORTHERN GREECE DELIGHT PACKAGE: A 10-day/9-night trip to Thessaloniki and Halkidiki, available from April 15 to November 15. Suitable for families, couples, and small groups who want a luxurious and exclusive travel experience.

A big splash of culture, deep traditions, great food and a week of intense blues and greens await as you discover the best of Thessaloniki and Halkidiki. Prepare to feel the incredible pulse of Thessaloniki before venturing into the three ‘fingers’ of the Halkidiki peninsula, discovering some of the best beaches of a region that has attracted a devoted following.

Thessaloniki, named after the half-sister of Alexander the Great is the second-largest city in Greece. Nestled in the heart of the Thermaic Gulf, Thessaloniki is easy to fall in love with. It has beauty, chaos, history and culture, remarkable cuisine and wonderful, vast sea views. Ever since the 4th c. BC when it was founded, Thessaloniki has kept its urban character and has remained a civic centre and the hub of that region. The city’s multicultural history has been associated with great empires, as it has known the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Rule. But sightseeing is not the only thing to do in Thessaloniki. It is perfect for endless strolls and city exploration. Walk along Thessaloniki beach promenade, have a coffee at Aristotle Square, taste the local delicacies at Ladadika, and time travel to the past at Thessaloniki Old Town.

Halkidiki, is a verdant peninsula located on the northern side of the country. It has been a popular destination among the locals for a long time, mainly due to its short distance from Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece. Standing out for its beautiful seaside resorts and exotic beaches, this area is one of a kind! The peninsula is divided into three smaller peninsulas, Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos. The first is the busiest one, the second is more secluded and popular for camping, while the third one hosts a closed monastic community that can only be accessed by male travelers under special permission. If you manage to peel yourself away from the stunning beaches, you should go sightseeing! A drive around the region will get you to impressive sites such as the Cave of Petralona, Byzantine towers, ancient monuments and beautiful monasteries. If you’re feeling up to it, you should do a boat tour from Ouranoupolis to Mount Athos. Since entrance to the Athos peninsula is not allowed to the public, the boat sails along the coastline, giving passengers the chance to marvel at the beautiful monasteries from the sea.  Halkidiki is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Greece, so expect to find a great selection of hotels and luxurious resorts, restaurants, bars and shops for every taste! Whether you’re traveling with your family, friends or significant other, this area is one of the best Greek destinations you have to visit!
