Flights to Halkidiki

If you’ve ticked off the islands and fancy getting to know Greece’s mainland a bit better, consider flights to Halkidiki. This three-pronged region on the country’s west coast dips its toes into the Aegean Sea. And the best part is, each of its peninsulas has its own vibe, so it’s ideal for adults-only retreats or family holidays with the children. If you like things on the lively side, Kassandra is your bet best. Here, wide sandy beaches give way to seaside villages and popular holiday towns, as well as Greece’s second-biggest city, Thessaloniki. Over in Sithonia, meanwhile, you can expect quieter shores, as rugged coves and forest-covered hills take centre stage. The final peninsula is home to Mount Athos, and the whole area is somewhat of a mystery as it’s closed off to the public. This holy region has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as its 20 monasteries are said to house the longest surviving monastic community on earth. If you’re intrigued and fancy catching a glimpse of Athos, take a cruise along the coast. As you sail past, look out for the tiny huts that are tucked into the crevices of the rock face, where some monks have chosen to live in isolation.
