Paradise on Earth
The Prefecture of Chalkidiki is just below Macedonia. To the north, it borders on the Prefecture of Thessaloniki, while to the east it is washed by the Strymonic Gulf, to the west by the Thermaic Gulf, and to the south by the Aegean sea. The most notable geographical feature of Chalkidiki is, its three ‘legs’: the peninsulas of Cassandra, Sithonia, and Athos.
As a whole, Chalkidiki stands out for its natural beauty, its deserted little bays, its beaches washed by crystal-clear water and backed by pine trees, the alternating wild and more domesticated faces of Nature, and the unique and impressive Mount Athos peninsula. It also has a rich historical background and a wealth of architectural tradition is to be found in its villages.
History of Chalkidiki
Chalkidiki was first inhabited in prehistoric times, by Thracians. In the 8th century it was colonized by Chalkis, in Euboea, from which it took its name, and by Eretria, also in Euboea. Later colonizing cities, included Corinth and Andros. In the Persian Wars, the cities of Chalkidiki were compelled to recognize Persian sovereignty. Later they joined the Athenian Confederacy and, during the Peloponnesian War, founded the Koinon (Community) of Chalkis. After this happened, Chalkidiki came under the sway of Philip of Macedon. In Byzantine and post-Byzantine times Chalkidiki was badly affected by the raids of pirates, but under Turkish rule, many of its villages enjoyed special privileges because of the importance of their metal mines. Despite this preferential treatment, Chalkidiki rose in revolt against the Turks in 1821, along with the rest of Greece, under the leadership of Emmanouil Papas from Serres. The area was not united with Greece until 1912.
Something About The Region Of Chalkidiki
There are frequent departures from Thessaloniki for Chalkidiki. Those arriving by yacht will find facilities at the Porto Karras marina in Sithonia. From Chalkidiki, the obvious excursion is to Thessaloniki, while men may also visit Mount Athos, which can be reached by caique from Lerissos or Ouranoupolis. Another trip could be to the islet of Amoliani, reached by daily ferry sailings from Tripiti. The islet has quiet beaches and good tourist facilities. Nea Moudania has ‘Flying Dolphins’ services (summer only) to the islands of Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos.
Chalkidiki is an ideal place for the sport of all kinds. Basket-ball, volley-ball, and tennis courts are to be found almost everywhere, while pedalos, canoes, and wind-surfing boards can be rented at most of the beaches and from many hotels. The main center for yachting is the Nea Moudania Naval Club. Walkers will discover the charms of Mount Cholomon, while the sea abounds with fish. The capital of the Prefecture is Polygyros, a wealthy town with a population of 4.000.
There are good tourist facilities. Some of the most interesting towns and villages are Arnaia, Lerissos, Ayia Paraskevi, Afytos, Ayios Nikolaos, Galatista, Gerakini, Kallithea, Kallandra, Nea Moudania, Nea Kallikrateia, Nea Roda, Nea Fokaia, Ouranoupoli, Petralona, Stagira, Neos Marmaras, Vourvourou, Stratoni, Nea Poteidaia. There are also many others with excellent beaches, wooded scenery, archaeological and historical sites, comfortable hotels, and rented rooms for a pleasant stay. Of particular importance are the Petralona Caves, where palaeontological finds, including prehistoric skeletons, have been found.
A Few Ways To Get To Chalkidiki
Chalkidiki, with its capital Polygyros, was once part of Macedonia, just a few dozen kilometers away from Thessaloniki, the second-largest city of Greece. Chalkidiki consists of the mainland and three peninsulas, they are from west to east: Kassandra, Sithonia, and Mount Athos. Kassandra is the most populated and combines the pine trees forests, the deep blue sea with the cosmopolitan charm.
The villages are spread on both sides of the mountains to the coasts. Sithonia is the middle peninsula and less populated. The area is famous for its impressive natural scenery. The peninsula of Mount Athos known also as the garden of the Virgin combines the beauty of wild nature with Byzantine monastic architecture.
This unique monastic community is a world cultural heritage of humanity, according to UNESCO. The Community of Mount Athos consists of 20 monasteries that form an autonomous region. Mount Athos can be visited only by men with a proper license. The mainland of Chalkidiki dominated by Mt. Cholomontas is the ideal place to find cool shade in summer, and the most magical of retreats in the heart of winter. Chalkidiki region is very hot and dry summer with little rainfall. Autumn is quite warm, with average rainfall, winter is colder with more rain. In spring, nature gives beauty to the area. The coast around Chalkidiki is close to 500 kilometers in length. It is home to countless superb beaches, almost all of the blue flag winners.

There is everything you will need except these few things, which is a rarity, by itself, and those are: solarium, and why would anyone need one, you are in Greece, they don’t have tavern, and darts in place for your pleasure, but again, you’d have much more fun just staring at the sunset, they do not allow pets, and let’s be honest, most of the hotels don’t want a pet for one reason only, and that is – other guests.
