Frequently asked questions
About Halkidiki
Halkidiki is a region in northern Greece known for its stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and lush green landscapes. The currency used in Greece is the Euro. Halkidiki consists of three peninsulas, each offering a unique experience - Kassandra with its lively beach resorts, Sithonia with its secluded coves, and Athos with its monasteries. Visitors can enjoy fresh seafood, traditional Greek cuisine, and vibrant nightlife in Halkidiki.
When to visit
The best time to visit Halkidiki is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. Spring and fall are also great times to visit for milder temperatures and fewer crowds. Winter is the off-peak season with cooler weather and some establishments closed.
Getting around
The best way to get around Halkidiki is by car, as public transportation options are limited. Rental cars are available at the airport and in major towns. Taxis are also a convenient way to travel between villages and beaches. Boat tours are popular for exploring the coastline and nearby islands.
Traveller tips
Make sure to carry enough cash as some smaller establishments may not accept credit cards. Respect the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting monasteries in Athos. Pack sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses for protection from the sun. Try the local specialties like moussaka, souvlaki, and Greek salads. Learn a few basic Greek phrases to communicate with the locals. Be prepared for siesta time when many shops and restaurants close in the afternoon.
