Halkidiki
in Greece

Halkidiki, just south of Thessaloniki in northern Greece, is a three-pronged peninsula stretching into the Aegean Sea. Kassandra, the more visited of the three, is known for its golden beaches and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. At the opposite end lies Mount Athos, a monastic state with restricted access, where boat trips paddle along its shores and stop by historic towns such as Ouranoupoli, and the nearby Ammouliani Island. Sandwiched between the two is Sithonia, where winding coastal roads weave through pine forests and lead to secluded coves – making it a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers.

ERGON Beach House Nikiti

Nikiti dinner

checked in

From the team behind Ergon House and Ergon Bakehouse in Athens, this cool beachside retreat on Halkidiki's Nikiti beach offers safari-like canvas tents alongside villas and cabanas, some with pools. The tents have outdoor rainfall showers and full hotel amenities. Working with local farmers and fishermen, the food is taken seriously, a well-stocked deli and a restaurant menu with nods to their Athens bakery sibling.

beauty

Just an hour from Thessaloniki, this summer-only (May to October) hideout on Greece's Halkidiki coast feels more like a Mediterranean village than a hotel. 58 suites scatter through bright green gardens alongside a bakery (with jam to take home) and the country's largest wine cellar. Originally a family home, now run by the second and third generation who've filled the rooms with treasures from their travels.
