Halkidiki in Greece is a well kept secret. These three peninsulas stretching into the Agean Sea boast beautiful beaches and pine covered hills. Here in the greenest part of Greece there are idyllic, quiet beaches and small villages yet also sophisticated restaurants and bars – if you know where to find them.
The Greeks have been keeping Halkidiki for themselves as many have built holiday homes there. At the weekends nearby Thessaloniki empties as city dwellers head for the beach. During the summer months the people of the towns of northern Greece as well as the city holiday in Halkidiki.
It is also a popular destination for weddings and it is easy to see why. What makes Halkidiki so wonderful is the endless green of the pine trees set against the azure blue sea. And of course the bright sunshine and cloudless skies. Perfect backdrops for the bride and groom's photos can be seen everywhere. What most people in the UK don't know is that there is fabulous cuisine and first class hospitality to be had in Halkidiki. Anything you need for the perfect day can be found here and the hotels and restaurants will go out of their way to make sure that your special day is everything you dreamed of.
Greeks have a long tradition of extravagant weddings and so nothing is too much trouble for the efficient and smiling hoteliers and restaurateurs in this region. The smallest celebration to the biggest extravaganza can be accommodated.
Northern Greece is also renowned for the art of patisserie and chocolates. Walk into any Zacharoplastio (cake shop) and you can see cakes and pastries to die for. Chocolate pralines are also dreamy. Any kind of wedding cake can be made to order. Chocolate favours, or the more traditional sugared almonds, can also be obtained.
