BEFORE YOU GO

A well-planned trip.

Getting around

The car is the most practical way to explore the peninsula and reach beaches and villages with fewer transport links; in high season, however, consider traffic and parking difficulties. From Thessaloniki, you can get there by bus with KTEL services heading directly to Halkidiki, but frequencies and local connections may vary, especially outside summer. Check the updated timetables before you set off and don’t assume there are evening services. For short trips, taxis and organized transfers are useful alternatives.

When to go

From June to September, you’ll find the most suitable climate for the sea and most tourist services open; July and August, however, are the busiest and hottest months. May and the second half of September often offer a calmer atmosphere, even if the weather and sea temperatures can be less stable. In spring and autumn, check in advance the opening hours of accommodation, restaurants, and transport connections.

Where to eat

In coastal towns, look for seafood tavernas and try the catch of the day, asking the price and how it’s prepared before ordering. In the inland villages, it’s easy to find traditional Greek cuisine, with grilled meats, seasonal vegetables, and local cheeses. For a more casual meal, choose a bakery or grill house and sample specialties like souvlaki and pita. In summer, it’s advisable to book dinner at the more popular places.

Quick tips

Bring water, a hat, and sunscreen with you: in summer the sun is intense and some beaches have little natural shade.
Rent a car only if you feel comfortable on local roads and check the insurance coverage conditions before you set off.
In high season, arrive early at the busiest beaches to find parking and a comfortable spot.
Keep some cash for small purchases and parking, while still checking in advance which payment methods are accepted.
