SHORT DESCRIPTION

A trip to Sithonia, the most beautiful of the “fingers” (though in Greek these peninsulas are often referred to as ‘legs’), of the Halkidiki peninsula, is an ideal tour that will allow you to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of cities. A trip to Sithonia, the most beautiful of the “fingers” (though in Greek these peninsulas are often referred to as ‘legs’), of the Halkidiki peninsula, is an ideal tour that will allow you to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of cities. This is a corner of Greece, where it seems like Nature or God threw a mosaic, which, by falling, formed into a kind of kaleidoscope. During your visit to Sithonia, you will have the opportunity to admire endless enchanting landscapes, golden secluded beaches, lush meadows and forests, picturesque villages and the stunning architecture of traditional houses and churches. Only in Sithonia can you enjoy unique sandy beaches with a perfect combination of green and blue as the pine trees reach the sand and the waves. By the way, every year a large number of beaches on the peninsula receive the highest quality mark – the “blue flag”. As you travel around Sithonia, you will find that each area you visit is unique and very different from the previous one.
