Situated
in the south of the city of Thessaloniki, Chalkidiki consists
of 3 smaller peninsulas, Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos. The
capital of Chalkidiki is Poligiros lying in its geographical
centre, 69 kms away from Thessaloniki. You can use the road
network for your transportation and the closest airport, Macedonia
which is found 17 kms away from Thessaloniki.
Kassandra
is the most western peninsula of Chalkidiki's trident. It
is one of the most famous places of Chalkidiki, of great tourist
development displaying a lot of amenities concerning the educational
field and the modern tourist trade
Sunny,
golden beaches, picturesque bays, traditional small villages,
scattered islands, protected coves, pine clad hills diving
in the sea waters, make up today's Chalkidiki
Lying
on the Kassandra peninsula, Fourka Beach
is 100 km far from Thessaloniki. It is a village packed in
greenery, an earthly paradise full of pine trees, olive trees
and all sorts of flora and fauna which promises to give you
the time of your life.
A
place where “the tranquil sea reflects the sun
rays as if a legendary diamond lake” is what
a poet has written to depict the crystal clear waters of the
sea which has been awarded the blue flag of Europe and which
is perfectly combined with the green of the mountain. The
fascinating beauty of the scenery could only be topped off
with the breathtaking sunset which the visitor can relax watching.
The
mountainous village Fourka itself is located 2 km away from
the beach, displaying a variety of historical traits. An
inscription which is found in St Athanasios Church, takes
us back to the Roman years. The Byzantine findings which
have recently come to light in the ruins of St John's Church
as well as the chapels and the renovated houses displaying
remarkable and unique architecture are characteristic signs
of the development and progress of Fourka through the course
of time.
Fourka
Beach is also an ideal choice for peaceful family holidays
characterized by quality entertainment since traditional tavernas
and chophouses with delicious, mouthwatering local food promise
to make your accommodation here second to none.
But even if food is not your
first option, ideal seaside bars and cafes guarantee to give
you a good idea of the Greek vivid spirit and temperament.
You are then invited to enjoy
our warmest welcome and the incomparable hospitality of the
local people which we consider to be a necessary prerequisite
for every visitor's comfort and relaxation.
