Why Visit Chalkidiki?

This area is known best for its turquoise waters, amazing beaches and hidden coves. The rich mix of sun, sea and history in this area is what makes it such a popular holiday destination!
A daytrip to Petralona caves is sure to be an interesting day out for the family. This cave became famous in the 1950s due to the fossils that were found inside it, which included a 700,000-year-old human skull! Aristotle’s Park has many fun activities that help visitors understand the ideas of one of the world’s most famous philosophers. A trip to Ammouliani Island will provide you with some of the best beaches the resort has to offer.
