According to mythology, Kassandra has been the place where Giants were born and the area where the battle between the Olympian Gods took place.
As of today, Kassandra is the westernmost part of the trident – shaped peninsula of Chalkidiki and a peaceful place that hosts thousands of visitors every summer.
Compared to the rest of the “legs”, Kassandra is the most developed while it preserves its natural and pristine beauty with its sandy beaches and marvelous azure colored waters.
There are many villages with summer resorts that are popular among locals and tourists. Some of the most distinguishable places are Kallithea, Pefkochori, Chanioti, and Polychrono with multiple options for eating, accommodation, and entertainment. Moreover, there are known for their engaging nightlife with numerous beach bars and nightclubs. Also, you can arrange a boat trip from Kassandra and experience unique moments!
Apart from these, Kassandra has other charms and gems to show. Such as Afitos, an old but quite charming village, which differs from most of the places, as it has sustained its stones houses and enchanting pedestrian with cobblestones that leads to a huge balcony with great sea view. Or Possidi, a scenic sandpit that stretches for hundreds of meters into the sea and it is ideal for kite-surfers due to its strong waves. Even for antiquity lovers, in Kassandra lies the temple of Ammon Zeus, the small church of Agios Nikolaos and the stone tower of Nea Fokea from 1407. A busy day that can end up in the thermal spa of Agia Paraskevi to rejuvenate body and spirit.
