Chalkidiki Peninsula Island

Home > Isole > Chalkidiki Peninsula

The Chalkidiki Peninsula, located in northern Greece, is a hidden gem of the Greek treasure that is increasingly becoming one of the most loved and sought after destinations for a relaxing holiday in a still authentic territory. A corner of Eden where history, traditions and lush nature offer magnificent experiences for those who want to discover its secrets.
A land rich in myths and legends. Alexander the Great was born in Macedonia, Zeus fought against the Giants here, destroying them and giving their names to the “three fingers”, Kassandra which takes its name from one of the Giants, son of Zeus and the nymph Lamia, who fought valiantly against the Gods, Sithonia owes its name to Sithon, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. This peninsula is considered a sacred place dedicated to the god of the sea and his powerful forces. And finally Mount Athos whose name is linked to Athos, a Giant who challenged Zeus and tried to throw a mountain at him. Mount Athos itself would be, according to legend, the boulder thrown by Athos.
A succession of breathtaking landscapes and its beaches are considered truly dreamlike. The first phalanx Kassandra is perfect for those who love nightlife and fun, Sithonia instead will fascinate you with its nature, coastlines and romantic sunsets. Mount Athos on the other hand is a place where spirituality and a tremendously wild environment stop time. Athos is reserved only for men, women are not allowed, they can only grasp its beauty from afar and from the sea.
The Chalkidiki Peninsula is the ideal destination for those looking for an authentic Greece, far from the most touristic routes. Find out how to get to the Chalkidiki Peninsula, what to see in the Chalkidiki Peninsula, and book your holiday packages for families or couples. Let yourself be conquered by the beauty of this unique place!
