Spend a full day on the Kassandra peninsula of Halkidiki, the closest of the three "fingers" to Thessaloniki and the easiest to reach for a day by the sea. We start with the traditional clifftop village of Afitos, looking over Toroneos Bay, then give you three unhurried hours on a golden Kassandra beach, a long lunch at a seaside taverna, and a relaxed drive back — all at your own pace in a private Mercedes-Benz.

Discover Halkidiki Day Trip from Thessaloniki
Halkidiki is a peninsula in northern Greece with more than 550 kilometres of coastline, famous for its three "fingers" reaching into the Aegean Sea: Kassandra, Sithonia, and the monastic Athos peninsula. Kassandra, the closest to Thessaloniki, is the most developed of the three, with long sandy beaches, traditional villages, and clear shallow waters ideal for swimming.
This day trip focuses on the highlights of Kassandra that can be comfortably enjoyed in a single day — the clifftop charm of Afitos, the golden beaches around Kallithea, and the pine-backed sands of Sani, all within easy reach of the city.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we customise the itinerary?
Yes. The day is flexible — we can spend longer at the beach, choose a different Kassandra bay, or adjust the lunch stop to your taste.
Is the tour suitable for children?
Yes. The pace is easy and family-friendly, the village is stroller and pram accessible, and we provide free child and infant seats on request.
What should we bring?
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes for the village lanes. A light cover-up for the air-conditioned vehicle and the evening return.
