Once you’re in Halkidiki
- Best time: June – September
- Typical stay: 3 days
- November: Better avoided: Halkidiki is a summer resort coast: from November to April almost all its resort hotels, beach bars and boat cruises close, and the villages are quiet. For a winter trip in the north, stay in Thessaloniki instead.
