From this there is a circle of black mountains and beaches of a variety of colors - white, red and black.

Many researchers, including the famous Jacques-Yves Custo, still suggest that it is here, in Calder Volcano, after an earthquake plunged to a depth of 300-400 meters, there is a missing Atlantis. Many tourists choose this island for romantic dinners, wedding celebrations and honey months: the breathtaking views and the unique island's atmosphere to this have.

Several interesting facts about the island:

Therefore, if the purpose of your trip is the purchase of fur products, and you do not plan a full-fledged 1-2-week holiday in Greece, - Paralia and neighboring coastal towns can be a good option. In other cases - not sure: the beaches we saw here cannot make a full-fledged competition by reinforcing the beaches of other corners of Greece earlier, in particular: suburbs of Athens, Halkidiki Peninsula, Crete Islands, Rhodes, Corfu, Santorini and others, The purity of the coast and water, nor the tourist infrastructure.

Being in the mainland of Greece, with the beauties of Peteria to meet, definitely, it is: it is here that the habitat of the ancient Greek gods is located - the famous Mount Olympus with a magnificent national natural park on the slopes. Picturesque villages and mountain resorts at the foot of Olympus are full of charm. Especially struck by his extraordinary atmosphere Litohoro mountain village.

But this is not so simple: even experienced travelers in Greece have been thinking for a long time before choosing a destination. The resorts of the country of Socrates are conventionally divided according to the geographical position (on the mainland and on the islands), by what the sea is washes the coast (Ionian, Aegean or Mediterranean), as well as internal infrastructure.

Northern Greece

In the north of Greece you are pleased with the warm Aegean Sea and the famous resorts: Thessaloniki, Cassandra, Sithonia, Athos and, of course, Castoria.

Thessaloniki is one of the largest Greek cities, it is called the capital of Northern Greece. It is here that an international airport is located, and there are many hotels and apartments of the most different level of availability (from the categories of VIP and de Luxe to cozy removable apartments).

However, most resorts of Northern Greece are concentrated in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Chalkidiki Peninsula. The peninsula itself resembles a trident in shape, and his "teeth" is Sitonia, Cassandra and Athos (Agion Oros). The main advantage of these places is that, unlike the southern islands, the territory of Chalkidika is drowning in greenery even in the midst of the summer season. To go in June and can be perfectly resting here connoisseurs of relaxing holidays, couples with children. The peak of high temperatures on the peninsula is observed in the second half of July and August, and in June, when the sea is already quite warm, there is still no strong heat.

Sithonia is a peninsula, whose name according to mythology corresponds to the name of the Son Poseidon. The resort is famous for the purest sea and beautiful natural species. Here, in addition to hotels in a different level of star, there is even a golf course, the casino is the only on Chalkidiki (in the tourist hotel complex Porto Carras).

As happened everywhere in Greece, there are ancient cities in the Sithonia Peninsula (Toroni, GalipSos, Sarti, Singos and Derra), where you can see unique archaeological monuments. The best coast on Sithonia is considered West - from Neos-Marmaras to Nikiti. These villages are famous each in their own way: Nikiti is a concentration of vintage houses with invariably red roofs, and Neos-Marmaras is a nightlife center at Sithonia.

All beaches of the peninsula are covered with small crumbbed sand, and forests are rich in pine. If in June you were on Sithonia, be sure to look at Vurvuru Bay, where the beach is the same name, which is considered the most exotic and beautiful on the peninsula. Here you will see the crystal clear sea, scenic coves and olive groves. The best hotels of Sithonia are customary to Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa, Maria Elena Villas, Porto Carras Meliton Hotel, Lagomandra Beach. All these complexes offer a large selection of rooms, which allows you to choose options for both family pairs, and for those who wish to plunge into romance.

The Holy Mount Athos is a place where the atmosphere of privacy and spirituality reigns. There are two dozen of Orthodox monasteries, among which there is a Russian Orthodox Monastery of St. Panteleimon. It should be said that the entrance to Athos women is strictly prohibited, and even men can visit the peninsula only with a special resolution. However, admire the stroke spiers and architecture of buildings can always be from the sea.

In almost any resort town, marine excursions on Athos will start at almost any resort town, during which the yachts fit the peninsula pretty close. On Athos there is a visa regime, it is possible to obtain a visa to a limited number of days and it is issued, as a rule, professors and students of theological specializations. Such precautions have their own foundation, because it is here, in the capital of the monastic republic. Caris, there is a museum of Orthodox Christianity, which stores the oldest icons, manuscripts and unique books. Given the specificity of the territory, tourist hotels on the peninsula not as many, they are located in the 2 coastal towns of Uranopoli (the name of which is translated as "Heavenly City") and neo-kind. The best among them is Alexandros Palace 5 *, ARISTETELS Hotel 4 *, Eagles Palace & Spa.

Among the Greek resorts has special popularity has the Castorian. This city is located on the coast of the Orestiad mountain lake and has a special attractiveness. Castorina is the global center for the production of fur products. If you want to buy a high-quality and beautiful fur coat at the manufacturer's price, look at Edika's shopping center in Castor's. About 80 thousand models of fur products are represented in 12 shopping halls. As for hotels, the choice is small, the best can be called Apollo Palace 5 *, Esperos Palace 4 *. Rooms in hotels are better to choose overlooking the lake. There are no beaches in Castorian: in the lake is not accepted, but there are wonderful opportunities for fishing.

South Greece

South Greece resorts are customary to Loutraki, Eui, Wulyagmen, Glyfand and of course the island of Crete.

The most famous resort of this part of Greece, where, in our opinion, it is better to go in June, it is Loutraki, it is located near Athens (80 km) and washed by the waters of the Corinth Gulf. Despite the fact that the city is small, it is here that the largest casino is located in the Balkans (Club Hotel Casino Loutraki 5 *). Hotels here are not very much, they are built mostly along the coast. It should also be noted that most hotels in Loutraqi new or newly renovated. As entertainment, tourists are offered scuba diving, surfing, riding on yachts, water skiing, motorcycles. Beaches at this resort pebble.

In Loutraki in June and not only go to relax and heal, because there are many sources of healing mineral waters. There is also a hydrotherapy center in the city, where, combining with rest, you can go through the course of therapeutic procedures. Lutraki is an antiquity admirers: this town is quite close (a few dozen km) from the main attractions of Greece: ancient Corinth, Acropolis, Mycene, Epidaur, Delph. In Loutraki, you can look at the famous Byzantine and antique temples, such as the temple of the goddess Gera. Thus, this town is universal in terms of tourist infrastructure.

In the suburbs of Athens (15-20 km) are glyphada and vulgmena. Prices for accommodation here in the season are always higher than in the rest of the resort Greece. The influence of the proximity of the capital affects. This area is the concentration of fashionable five-star hotels, but not all of them can correspond to the stated level of star. As for the beaches, they are sandy here. "Wild" beaches do not always boast of cleanliness, unlike those equipped (although it is about 4 euros for renting sun beds and umbrellas). Hotels with category 5 * have their own beaches and provide such equipment for free. As for the sea, it in glyfade and vulgaria is very clean, as in all Greece. In general, the resorts boast of excellent entertainment and sports infrastructure. These resorts are a great place for both business tourism.
