Why go
The choice of peninsula changes the trip. Kassandra offers resort towns and sandy beaches; Sithonia brings pine-fringed coves and a less built-up feel. Inland villages and the Cholomontas hills add another setting. The Mount Athos peninsula has a distinct monastic character, so it should not be assumed to work like the other beach areas.
What to look for
- Kassandra and Sithonia offer different coastal landscapes.
- Pine-covered coves shape parts of Sithonia's shore.
- The Cholomontas hills rise inland from the peninsulas.
Useful to know
- Pick Kassandra or Sithonia as the main coastal base before planning individual beaches.
- Treat Mount Athos separately and verify its access rules before making plans around it.
- Leave time for an inland village if you want a contrast with the shore.
