Sitonia is the so-called second finger of the Halkidika Peninsula, which, in turn, is glorified as the most popular resort on the continental part of Greece. Sithonia is open for tourists from May to the beginning of October. At the beginning of the season, there are few people, the tours are cheaper, but also to swim is still cold. The most injuality falls on July and August. The temperature is the highest for the entire summer season and prices are increasing. Therefore, the optimal price of the price and weather is June.
Here are excellent hotels in different categories, there is a type of apartments. Many of the hotels in private possessions, so the hosts carefully follow the whole that is happening, the service is excellent, the staff is responsive, many of them are Russian-speaking. In general, in Greece there are many people from the countries of the former USSR, including Georgia.
Hotels are located both not the first coastline and the second. To walk the house of the sea from the second line is not long, do not overcome long distances. All close. No hurry will have to go through 3-5 minutes in the village. Many hotels have no beaches. For the country it is the norm. I was originally somewhat discouraged by this news, but there was even the benefits of the absence of the beach on the spot. There was a stay experience in Cassandra at a hotel category 5 with a private beach. The entrance was stony, and the beach is small, even the chairs for everyone who rested at the hotel was not enough, and every morning to walk and occupy the chaise lounge, something did not want. This was oppressed and made his back into rest. Therefore, in the next time I took hotels without the beaches, it concerned and Sithonia. You can choose for a beach holiday any place you like, even go to another village. Many sandy beaches, for example, in the metamorphosis village. It should be noted that the beaches of the peninsula have a blue flag, this is evidence of their purity and purity of seawater. The Aegean Sea is actually very clean.
You can swim here, and there are also such magnificent paints of the sea from the light blue, emerald and to dark blue. When you float on a small boat, you can cross the sea stripes different.
It turns out that the dark blue color of seawater is obtained at the expense of algae growing on the bottom. Due to the merge of the paints and it turns out such an effect with transitions and peculiar boundaries.
During swimming near the shore, you can see my own shadow, and you can also see the flocks of small fish. You can swim from the mask, but there is no special beauty in the sea. Maritime landscape.
Watching on which side of the Sithonia, you will rest, you can see either the shore of Cassandra, or Athos. The trip to Athos will be unforgettable for you. This is an opportunity to see the ancient monasteries, including the Russian - the name of St. Panteleimon.
Unlike Cassandra - the first finger of Chalkidikov, on Sithonia, richer nature, as well as the rest is more calm due to the absence of night clubs and discos in the villages. The pastime here is preferable for those tourists who want to really get relaxes from staying at sea in silence. Relax Here you prefer family couples with children. There are elderly tourists, young people are mainly settled on Cassandra.
You can travel alone on the Sitonia. Greece is European country. No one imposes its services here, it concerns merchants as well as staff at the hotel. No one will "cling". Personally, I prefer rest in the company with friends or family. So I got out, several times in Cassandra and once on Sithonia. What is better, and what is hard to say worse. But I want to say one thing that, regardless of the place of rest, the rest itself in Greece has always passed perfectly. Emotions and impressions are extremely positive.
From Sitonia you can travel. Tour operators are offered in principle the same trips as from Cassandra - Meteor, Petralon, Thessaloniki, Athens, Dion, Katerini, as well as shub tours to the castor, Paralya-Katerini or Neo Callicism. Rest can be combined with pleasant and interesting trips, touch the history of the Great and Ancient Civilization. There is no desire to travel, then it is worth thinking about rest on the islands, and not on the continent. There the cost of tours is slightly lower than on Chalkidiki, but excursions at least. Chalkidiki are good for combining and relaxing at sea and pleasant trips.
