Things to do in Halkidiki
A slow paced atmosphere awaits you in Halkidiki ensuring that you unwind and relax almost as soon as you arrive.
Divided into three peninsulas, Halkidiki has something to entertain everyone across the three varying headlands. Kassandra is the most well known of the three and SPL Villas have villas with private pools near to the town of Hanioti. Hanioti has a delightful villa centre and evening markets adorn this during the week.
Halkidiki is renowned for natural scenery and there are plenty of walking trails to explore, and endless stretches of beach to enjoy.

History and Culture in Halkidiki
Legend has it that Halkidiki was the site of a huge battle involving Zeus, Olympian Gods to the Giants, children of Gaea and Uranus. It is said that the leader of the Giants, Enceladus was buried on the peninsula of Kassandra and his unrest and his attempts to flee his tomb are supposedly the sources of any earthquake within the area.
The peninsula of Kassandra takes its name from Cassander the King of Macedonia who ruled Greece after the death of Alexander the Great.
Sithonia, one of the most beautifulk peninsulas is named after Sithon, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. The final peninsula, Mount Athos, is named after the giant Athos, who is said to have thrown a huge rock into the sea following a battle with Poseidon. The rock still stands today as the peninsula and Mount Athos or Holy Mountain is now a UNSECO world heritage site.
