You have just landed in Thessaloniki and you have been planning to explore the city within the upcoming days… however the heat it’s already killing you and you wish you were at some beach, swimming and chilling in front of the coast. There’s something magical about beach bars. When someone says “go to your happy place,” I’d bet that 90 percent of people picture a beach. With a cocktail in hand, the warm sand between your toes and the soothing sound of the waves crashing you’ve officially left your worries behind for a laidback and carefree life—even if just for a few days.
And here's me chilling in one of my favorite Halkidiki's beach bars! You fancy spending a day like that? If you have just answered yes...then keep reading!
And that’s when Halkidiki should come in mind! Halkidiki is only a few minutes, or an hour or so (depends on where you want to go) far from Thessaloniki and it’s definitely recommended as an escape-from-the city destination! The beaches in Halkidiki are like a secret that only Greeks know about. Characterized by fine white sand, crystal clear turquoise waters, lush surroundings and cool beach bars they are practically perfect, and just because it’s not an island does not mean you should stay away!
Here's a list with my personal favorites! Enjoy!
