It will take you back in time. You can visit the Weaving Museum of Arnea, hike all the way up to the ruins of Castle Neposia or head to Domaine Claudia Papayianni, one of the recommended wineries for a good wine tasting. Sample some of the best wines of the region!

3. Buy a handmade soap in Polygyros

Polygyros is the capital of Halkidiki. There is a traditional method for making soap with the oil produced in the area that families used to do at home in the garden. Nowadays, some establishments continue to craft these local products at some workshops. The soaps are very well presented in wonderful packaging. The fragrance comes from the natural scents added to the soap such as pine, lavender, bay or eucalyptus. Vasilakis Soaps is one of the most known and you can find their soaps at many shops around Halkidiki.

4. Visit a 700-year old village

This is a must if you book a villa in Halkidiki and decide to visit Sithonia. A Macedonian small village nestled up in the hills that still retains some nostalgic romance in the air. The quaint village has plenty of stone houses with so many colourful flowers decorating walls, balconies and gardens. Not so long ago, they opened a local History and Folklore Museum where the old school was. Here, you can learn more about the past of the region and admire some pottery, artefacts and a picture of Athanasios Xanthopoulos, in front of piles of coal, when the area was in the coal trade. In the summer they host a film festival during which, classic films are screened in the main square.

5. Take in the wonders of Ouranoupoli

Ouranoupoli is an ancient city with great history and it is the last village of the third peninsula, Athos. It was built in a strategic location. Tower Prosforios is where Asian refugees settled after the war and is the largest and most well-preserved fortified building. Many people swim the waters underneath the impressive building, which can be seen perfectly from the water.

6. Fall in love with Mount Athos

Mount Athos is Halkidiki's holy mountain, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This monastic region is the oldest surviving one in the world. The religious importance of the area, with several monasteries, hermitages and retreats has turned it into a place of high demand that can only be visited if you book it way in advance with one of the monasteries. Be patient, sometimes it can take up to six months to do so. If you cannot wait that long, then, take a boat tour and see it from the sea.

7. Take a day trip to Thessaloniki
