The most popular tourist area on the continental part of Greece - Halkidiki Peninsula. Resting here for three years in a row and do not regret it at all, but on the contrary, after another arrival there is an even greater desire to return here again.
The peninsula itself is located near the central city of Ellala - Thessalonikov, where we are tourists landing by plane. Through thessaloniki, most tourist routes are held, which offer travel agencies from the Halkidiki Peninsula.
The peninsula itself, as if Poseidon's trident, is divided into three parts, they are also called "fingers". The first one is perhaps the most attractive for active and passive recreation, Cassandra. There are many villages that are located one along one along the entire coast of the Aegean Sea.
The climate on Cassandra is great. It is hot, but no humidity, dry air. In the heat there is easy to breathe. Were and rains, but they only refreed everything around, and after an hour, everything was dry again.
The sea on Cassandra is very clean. This is one of the charms of recreation. When you get, you can see my own shadow, you can also consider fish, but they are not so picturesque as in the Red Sea.
Why do Many Tourists choose to rest the Cassandra? In addition to the excellent sea, climate and service, there are many attractions that can be seen, not leaving from the peninsula. One of these petrolone. In this small village, located in the mountainous part, there is a cave. It found the remains of an ancient person and the Anthropological Museum operates. This is an excursion in the ancient history of Eldlas and all mankind.
