Chalkidiki, the Prefecture with the longest coastline in mainland Greece

Chalkidiki is a three-pronged peninsula located south of the city of Thessaloniki. It comprises of three smaller peninsulas (Cassandra, Sithonia and Athos) that resemble a trident piercing the blue waters of the Aegean.

These three "prongs" give Chalkidiki a uniquelly winding shape, as well the longest stretch of coastline (approx. 550 km) than any other mainland prefecture in Greece.

Golden, sun-drenched sandy beaches, idyllic gulfs, traditional villages and modern vacation resorts, scattered islets, sheltered coves, pine-clad hills dropping to the sea, all together make up the picture of modern-day Chalkidiki. The capital city of Polygyros is located right in the centre of the peninsula.
