Varvara is a picturesque mountain village of central Halkidiki, built on the slopes of Cholomontas, amid rich vegetation. It's a cool, green escape, completely different from the region's beaches.
The village's landmark is the Varvara waterfalls — a natural attraction rare for Halkidiki, with running water amid the forest, ideal for a cool walk even in the middle of summer.
The area offers trails, forests of plane and chestnut trees, and clean mountain air — an excellent choice for hiking and nature outings.
In the village tavernas you'll taste traditional mountain cuisine, grills, honey and forest products, in a warm, authentic atmosphere.
It's about 1 hour by car from Thessaloniki. Next to it are Taxiarhis and Agios Prodromos, while traditional Arnaia is close by.
Ideal for lovers of nature and hiking wanting waterfalls, forests and coolness. Beautiful year-round.
