Fine Beaches And Colourful History

Kalithea, Greece is a tourist settlement in the county of Halkidiki, 90 kilometres from Thessaloniki. Living up to a name that translates as ‘good view’, from here you can see both the whole of its peninsula and the neighbouring peninsula of Sithonia, as well as the jaw-dropping Gulf of Toroneos, where a swimming crossing takes place every year.

Kalithea is a cosmopolitan village, and its colourful history is exhibited through a clutch of surviving churches, chapels and even a fourth century Doric temple intended for the worship of the mighty Zeus of Ammon.

Intertwined with such architectural relics are the other selling points of Kalithea holidays: its sandy, sprawling and delectable beaches, many accredited with official EU Blue Flags for their water quality and cleanliness. Nor are they the only source of approval for the sea here at Kalithea resort: Hippocrates, no less, having supposedly endorsed its healing properties.

Great Cuisine And Enchanting Villages

But the relaxation and fun of Kalithea, Halkidiki does not begin and end in the water and under the Kalithea sun. Nights allow you the chance to retreat to one of Kalithea’s many bars, restaurants, clubs and taverns. Here, a variety of dishes are served. On the outskirts, meanwhile, can be found some of the biggest clubs in the whole of Halkidiki.

Come the morning, adventurous day-trippers from Kalithea Hotels won’t want to miss out on a journey through a string of charming countryside villages 51km north to the proud Halkidiki capital of Polygiros. From here you can appreciate more historic sites, visit the local museum and get yet another stunning view, this time of all three points of the peninsula.
