Luxury Sithonia Holidays

A picture-perfect peninsula

Sithonia takes you to the beautiful Halkidiki peninsula on mainland Greece’s south east coat. Fringed by the golden sands and crystal clear waters of the beaches on one side and the emerald green pine forests on the other, it’s a beautiful area just waiting to be explored. Families will love the many beaches dotted throughout the area, while couples can simply relax and spend their days enjoying the restaurants, bars, spas, and pretty architecture of the town.

The south east coast of Greece is made up of three peninsulas, with Sithonia being the middle one. Active visitors will love walking, hiking and water sports, with plenty of opportunities to explore and make the most of the stunning surrounding landscapes. Off the coast you can explore the underwater world with snorkelling and scuba diving trips, as well as the chance to become PADI certified during your holiday. Alternatively, make the most of the ancient sites which date back to the 7th Century BC and are dotted throughout the landscapes.

Things start heating up in July and August, when the temperature can get into the early 30s.

Tipping

In Greece, a service charge will be included in the bill at restaurants and bars. Much like the UK, an additional tip is not required, although is appreciated for particularly good service. It is common to round off the amount when paying cash, particularly with wait staff and taxi drivers. 

Introduction to languages

The official language of Greece is Greek.  English is widely spoken, too, so getting by is easy.
