Why We Prefer This Deal

While most visitors to Greece go straight to the islands, those in the know head north, past Thessaloniki to the Halkidiki region. Here, you’ll find Mediterranean forests, ancient archaeological sites, including Aristotle’s birthplace and some of the best beaches in the country.

Perched on a clifftop overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Thermal Spa Agia Paraskevi is the ultimate place to relax and unwind. As well as offering traditional massage and body treatments, you can spend time in the swimming pools, sauna, hammam and hydrotherapy pools.

One of those postcard-perfect Greek beaches, Kalamitsi Beach is all soft, golden sands and teal-hued waters. It sits in a sheltered bay, which makes it an ideal spot for families with small kids and there are some tavernas just back from the beach too.

As well as going for a daily swim in the crystalline waters that flank the region, why not spend a day kayaking on the sparkling sea too? A full-day kayaking trip will take you around Diaporos island where you will also get the chance to swim and snorkel in its beautiful waters.
