Halkidiki is famous for its Byzantine towers and ancient ruins including the Birthplace of Aristotle, Ancient Stagira and areas of historical importance such as Xerxes canal. Mount Athos is also a top religious destination. Here is where Athos (the name of one of the giants in greek mythology) cast a massive rock to the god of the sea, Poseidon which missed and fell into the Aegean waters creating Mount Athos (with a height of 2000m!). From early christianity to the Byzantine and Ottoman eras which also had an immediate influence in Mt.Athos, several monasteries were being developed, and till this day the presence of women is prohibited since the monks don’t want to be distracted to their path of spiritual enlightenment. Today you can still enjoy a boat cruise to better understand the monastic life, bringing you closer to the history of orthodoxy. The special geographical composition of Halkidiki with the three legs that protrude and form two enchanting bays create unique natural beauties. Each "leg" has developed its own generous contribution to history over the years creating a unique charm and beauty to the present day. The three legs consist of Kassandra(quite close to Thessaloniki) famous for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and vivid nightlife, Sithonia known for its beautiful beaches, and Athos offering travelers special walks in the mountains in the eastern peninsula of Halkidiki. Halkidiki has dense forests and exotic beaches with clear waters that are waiting for you to be discovered with the sailboat or yacht of your choice.

In the peninsula of Athos, you cannot miss the chance to visit Ammouliani, the only inhabited island of Chalkidiki that enchants every visitor and can only be accessed by boat.
