Things to Do in Kassandra
2 activities
Kassandra is the first and most developed peninsula of Halkidiki — and the densest in activities for all ages. From water parks and beach clubs in Kallithea and Hanioti, to watersports at every organised beach, boat trips from Siviri and Paliouri, spa and wellness at 5* resorts (Sani, Ikos), and hiking on Afytos' hills. The short distance from Thessaloniki (60-120 km) makes it ideal for day trips too. This page collects the highest-rated activities in Kassandra.
