If you have the time, an interesting itinerary offered by Apollonia for those wanting to combine mainland beaches and a selection of islands is sailing up to the Halkidiki peninsula. Halkidiki (or Chalkidiki) is located up in the north of Greece and southeast of Thessaloniki, which is Greece's second largest city. The region has a very distinct geography with its main peninsula ending in three smaller fingers – Kassandra (or Cassandra), Sithonia and Mount Athos each offering their own history and unique attractions. There truly is something for every traveller in Thessaloniki and thankfully due to its fantastic road network and superior tourism planning, the hoards of visiting tourists are well catered for. The western prong, Kassandra, would be the most developed towards tourism and well organised with plenty of services, accommodation and a buzzing nightlife. Situated in the middle, Sithonia, named after the mythological God Poseidon's son Sithonas, has a definite appeal towards nature lovers and those wanting more primitive surroundings. That said, there are still plenty of hospitality services of all types but they are in perfect harmony with the spectacular landscape. There are plenty of spots for refuge and relaxation, quaint fishing hamlets, numerous tiny harbours and deserted beaches to escape the summer crowds. Lastly, Mount Athos, is the most magnificent of all the peninsulas and the only Monk republic still in existence. Home to nearly 2000 monks in 20 monasteries, the Orthodox religion is continually devoted to and a primitive lifestyle still remains in keeping with ancient tradition. Regulations are still in place so that women are not permitted to visit and men must ask well in advance for a permit to enter. With many blue flag beaches to choose from and unspoiled areas to enjoy, Halkidiki is like a secret paradise. A wonderful holiday choice for people wishing to getaway this summer.
