Cheap Halkidiki Holidays

For many a holiday in Greece is usually on one of the many islands that lie dotted off the coast of the mainland. However many people have discovered an area close to the second city of Greece - Thessaloniki, the area is known as Halkidiki and is a three fingered shaped peninsula that is not as widely known as the islands.

Halkidiki holidays offer you the chance to relax and enjoy this beautiful part of the world where time passes slowly and the way of life has changed very little in centuries. The thing that attracts most tourists is the beautiful beaches which are almost white sands lapped by crystal clear waters and the best beaches are on the Kassandra peninsula, the area where the resorts of Halkidiki are situated.

Halkidiki – A great destination for foodies!

As with many other areas of Greece, the food is wonderful. Fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown locally are used in the restaurants and tavernas of Halkidiki where traditional Greek favourites are a popular choice with locals and tourists alike. Seafood dishes are really popular and very tasty with the catch of the day always a good choice. Nightlife is fairly laid back although there are a few discos/nightclubs in the larger resort where you can dance the night away into the small hours.

Even though holidays to Halkidiki are laid back it does not mean there is nothing to do, in fact there are plenty of excursions on offer including boat trips to the other peninsula's or shopping is always popular choice.
