Halkidiki Attractions

Probably the most famous sight is Mount Athos, a complex of 20 monasteries founded in 9th century and now on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As it can only be visited by men who have pre-arranged an excursion you might prefer to take a boat trip and view these incredible building clinging to the cliff’s edge from the sea – it really is quite a sight. There are plenty of ancient sights across the region including Aristotle’s birthplace and the site of the mythical Clash of the Titans.
