HAlKidiKi
The birthplace of Aristotle has everything from lush green forests to golden beaches and clear turquoise sea. It’s a haven for water-sports enthusiasts (there’s a huge swimming competition here every year), as well as for mountain bikers, with kilometres of track through pine and oak forests.
During summer, an arts festival draws many musicians and artists to the island. Halkidiki doesn’t have an airport, so you need to make your way to Thessaloniki where it’s a two-hour journey on to Halkidiki. Flights cost about $75.
Greece has 227 inhabited islands, so it’s still possible to find a perfect secluded beach in the archipelago. Wherever you choose to go though, you’re guaranteed sunshine, crystal clear sea, great food and stunning landscapes.
Halkidiki: Karydi beach and Vourvourou, Halkidiki, Greece.
