Halkidiki
Halkidiki’s trio of peninsulas trail like tentacles into the northern Aegean Sea and are home to some of the best family-oriented resorts in all Greece, including the award-winning Sani Resort, which counts five hotels in total, spread out along a sandy beachfront on the Kassandra Peninsula, and the all-inclusive Ikos resorts, Olivia and Oceania. Both the Kassandra and Sithonia peninsulas offer white-sand beaches to rival the Greek islands, wild interiors cloaked in pine forests, wide bays and steep cliffs that plummet towards tranquil, hidden coves. Most of the easternmost peninsula belongs to Mount Athos, the Holy Mountain, whose 1,400 or so monks continue a 1,000-year tradition of religious practice in the 20 remote monasteries that pepper the peninsula. Women, even female animals, are banned from Mount Athos but cruises to admire the monasteries (from afar) depart regularly from Ouranoupoli in the secular portion of the peninsula.
