Setting off from Thessaloniki, our day trip lasts 10 hours and includes suggested stops at the following: 

• Nea Potidea: Famous for its impressive canal which connects the Thermaikos and Toroneos Gulfs, Potidea is the perfect retreat from the bustling city life of Thessaloniki. Take a leisurely walk along its beautiful fish port, marvel at the ruins of the village’s ancient fortified walls and bask in the sun on its well-organized beaches where you can also enjoy breathtaking views of Sithonia!
• Afitos: Definitely the most picturesque village of Kassandra, Afitos has retained its traditional charm in its stone-built houses and cobbled streets. Do not miss the chance to step back in time at Aletra’s house, located in the central square, which houses the Folklore museum. Afitos is also the perfect spot if you want to go for a swim in the area’s stunning beaches or soak in the amazing views of Toroneos Gulf. 

Kalithea: Kalithea, one of Halkidiki’s top 10 beaches and largest shopping hub, is perfect for sun-seekers enjoying the beach by day and immersing themselves in Halkidiki’s vibrant nightlife at night. While less known for its historical attractions, Kalithea beckons history enthusiasts with the ruins of the Temple of Ammon Zeus, along with the intriguing churches of Saint Panteleimon and Saint Nicholas.
