Trips

Each place has its own charm: The cosmopolitan Thessaloniki, breathtaking Afitos, marvelous Neos Marmaras, sweet Sarti or the traditional Greek village Agios Nikolaos. One of the most beautiful traditional villages of Chalkidiki you will find in Parthenonas, where you can enjoy a magical view of the Toroneos gulf.

Sailing & boat trips

Boat trips to the beautiful bays on the west coast of Sithonia or sailing to the hidden shores of Chalkidiki will make your day perfect. We highly recommend boating to the Diaporos island with the unbelievable Blue Lagoon. The water there is said to be almost unreal with its vibrant shades of blue.

Diving and snorkeling

The coastline and the underwater world of Sithonia is a true paradise for divers. If you prefer to stay closer to the coast, snorkeling is a great way to discover the hidden coves on the west and east coast of Sithonia. The water here is amazingly clear and a real pleasure for underwater lovers.

Hiking
Mountainous Sithonia is a spectacular place for hiking. Mount Itamos, the highest peak, offers at over 800 meters stunning panoramic views of both the peninsula and the Aegean Sea. Here you can admire Mount Athos in the east and Mount Olympus in the west. The flora and fauna there are incredibly diverse.
Monasteries
Mount Athos itself is an autonomous monastic state and not easily accessible to tourists. But with a boat tour you can admire the monastic architecture and feel the peaceful atmosphere of Mount Athos. And there are also a lot of other spectacular and historic orthodox monasteries in Chalkidiki you can visit.
Old town Nikiti

A walk in the narrow roads of Nikiti old village is a travel in the past. You will find here a charming traditional village with beautiful, restored stone houses that represent the typical northern Greek architecture of the late 19th century. In the Folklore Museum of Nikiti, you will get to know the history of the village better.
