Reviews about the "two fingers" of the resort
So called main headlands, between whichThe whole fertile region of Sithonia and Cassandra stretches. Some people like it here even more than in Crete. After all, these are monasteries and villages lost in the mountains, and villages that are not at all tourist-oriented, but no less attractive from this. And what can I say about the lush green mountains, secluded beaches and magnificent bays! The best sea, according to the resort's regulars, is, of course, Sithonia. The water there is so pure that it even sparkles in the sun. But there are lovers and other bays. In order to experience all this, take a ride from one “finger” to another, and make your choice, be sure to rent a car. After all, life is better in Kassandra, and rest in Sithonia. Moreover, it is better to take hotels only with breakfasts, and the most profitable thing is to rent an apartment. Look all better on the road. Then you will discover the secret charms of Halkidiki.
Reviews about travel and kitchen
Those who came here for a long time, still can notfully enjoy the local holiday and argue that a month passes unnoticed here, like one day. Well, and if you’ve seen everything and you still have a desire to change the situation, then from Halkidiki it’s convenient to make pilgrimages to famous monasteries: Athos, Meteora - and other attractions. Most tourists are delighted with the cuisine in Chalkidiki. Greece, reviews of which are full of praises of Mediterranean dishes, is famous for good food. The seaside taverns and the mud huts in the mountain villages are especially good in this respect. Tourists traveling by car, traveling around bays and monasteries and enjoying freedom of movement, saw this from personal experience and advised others to visit such places.
