A few words about our amazing location.
Halkidiki is a majestic three-pronged peninsula in Northern Greece where you can find endless hidden treasures. Its coast of 500 kilometers in length and the numerous islands and isles in the area wait for you to discover them. From Vourvourou, we highly recommend visiting Diaporos island, while from Ouranoupoli you should visit Ammouliani and Drenia islands.

Ammouliani is a small, yet astonishing island right across from Mount Athos peninsula. Tradition is evident all throughout the island, with original folklore houses, trademark gastronomy and typical small gardens filled with astonishing natural goods. Isolated and magnificent beaches, vibrant food & entertainment options, and a mix of impressive vegetation & giant rocks make up for the ideal escape to the sole inhabited island of Halkidiki.

The Donkey Islands, also known as the Drenia Islands, are constituted of 6 beautiful small islands filled with incredible sandy beaches on a picturesque ‘’Greek summer’’ setting. Their folklore name is attributed to the legend that locals used to bring their very old donkeys to the islands in order for the animals to die in a magnificent setting.

Moreover, embark on a voyage to the Monasteries of Mount Athos, often referred to as the “garden of Virgin Mary,” an Orthodox spiritual center boasting a history of 1,000 years. This monastic community, home to 20 ancient monasteries, stands as a unique and sacred place. Capture the essence of these centuries-old monasteries, offering a glimpse into a world untouched by time. Keep your eyes peeled, as luck might grant you a breathtaking encounter with dolphins along the way!
