Here are our favorite things to do on Halkidiki beaches
- Snorkel to meet friendly fish and not so friendly sea urchinsย – beware where you step underwater!
- Float in the shallow waters and absorb some vitamin Sea.
- Lie on a sun chair and enjoy a cup of Frappe, made in Greek beach style!
- Play the game with wooden rackets and a rubber ball to stay in shape.
- Read a nice book that fits the summer beach atmosphere.
- Stare at the endless blue sea and dream!

Nace Sapundjiev
And it doesn’t seem very hard to get there from Sofia ๐
Michelle Joy (@harborsnhavens)
They all look great! Looks like I have some beach hopping to do.
Bistra Yakimova
Absolutely! And in September they’re still good for hopping!
Sandy N Vyjay
All of these look like really promising beaches. Great getaways for some fun and frolic amidst sand and sea.
Bistra Yakimova
Yes, they are super cool getaways, especially those with very few people knowing of them! ๐
Claire (@clairesturz)
They all look beautiful, I’d love to beach hop here! With a nice frappe and a handsome greek guy please!
Bistra Yakimova
I think the Athos peninsula might suit you best, although nice frappe is much easier to find than a handsome (and free) Greek guy!

Looks like I’ll need the whole summer in Greece to get to all the beaches… nothing wrong with that!
Bistra Yakimova
It would take a summer to cover just those around Chalkidiki! It would probably take years to go around every beach in Greece! What a blessing! ๐
Tracy
I want to explore as many as I can! Haha..Which one is your most favourite?
Bistra Yakimova
It’s super hard to tell the favorite one – they are all so nice! We recently went to Emma beach – it’s tiny but amazing!
