How to move around the Chalkidiki Peninsula
Considering the many beautiful beaches, the villages full of charm and history, a sea that has nothing to envy to Caribbean and tropical landscapes, our advice is always to rent a car.
Why the car? Because first of all it allows you to reach one of the three fingers from Thessaloniki, Kassandra is the first the most developed touristically speaking with its rolling hills, fresh pine forests and a large choice of tourist facilities suitable for all budgets, the second Sithonia most sought after for a holiday in Greece based on relaxation and extraordinary nature with its mountains covered with thick vegetation and transparent waters with gently sloping seabed perfect especially for families with children, the third is Mount Athos reachable by land up to Ouranopoli then the road ends. This part of the Chalkidiki peninsula has a religious importance comparable to our Vatican and a sore point is only allowed to men, the fairer sex is banned, they can only admire it from the sea at a distance of 500 meters ... We know it is not right but for it has been like this for centuries and it is right that it should remain like this.
The car will also give you the opportunity to visit all three fingers. If you stay in Kassandra and want to go to Sithonia, the journey takes about two hours, so it takes quite a long time and with a scooter it becomes heavy and demanding.
However, for true bikers, nothing detracts from the option of renting a two-wheeler, always remember that it is necessary to have an A or A1 license in Greece it is not like in Europe that even if you have had a B license for several years you can ride a motorbike and definitely choose a cylinder capacity of at least 150 cc.
For the rental, if you want, write to us at info@meraviglioseisolegreche.com we will be happy to give you a hand in finding the best solution for you.
If, on the other hand, you prefer public transport, know that the connections between one peninsula and another are almost non-existent, so study the timetables carefully in order to organize yourself in the best possible way and not risk getting stuck somewhere.
