The peninsula of Halkidiki

Halkidiki is a peninsula 60 kilometres south of the Greek city of Thessaloniki. The peninsula has a highly distinctive shape, reminiscent of three ‘fingers’ of land pointing out into the Aegean Sea. Halkidiki is renowned for its beautiful coves and bays, rocky headlands, secluded white beaches and crystal-clear waters, as well as its olive groves and pine forests. The beaches are famous worldwide and widely considered to be some of the best anywhere in Greece. No fewer than 45 of the local beaches have been awarded Blue Flags for their quality.

Our hotel is located on the first finger of Halkidiki, in Kassandra, between the villages of Kallithea and Kriopigi. Its location is breathtaking and offers contrasting natural landscapes of unique beauty. It is surrounded by a verdant wooded area reaching all the way down to a golden beach and the crystal-clear blue waters of the Gulf of Toroni.

The climate in this part of Greece is typically Mediterranean, with lots of sunshine, and summer temperatures in the early 30s in the summer months. The sea is pleasantly warm with an average sea temperature of 25 degrees in August. The region has a great deal to offer anyone with an interest in culture and history. It is home to Mount Athos, the Holy Mountain – created, according to Greek legend, after the giant Athos threw an enormous rock at the father of the gods, Zeus. Mount Athos, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, has been an Orthodox spiritual centre since 1054, and has enjoyed an autonomous statute since Byzantine times. The caves at Petralona, a local archaeological site containing prehistoric settlements, are around 7,000 years old.
