Hotels (€60-300/night) offer services — ideal for couples. Villas (€100-500/night) are perfect for groups/families with pool and privacy. Apartments (€40-120/night) are the budget option with a kitchen.
Few hotels offer all-inclusive (e.g., Sani Resort, Ikos Olivia). Usually not worth it because local restaurants have excellent food at low prices (€10-20/person). Worth considering only if you want a luxury experience without leaving the resort.
For large hotels use Booking.com or Airbnb — good cancellation policies. For small family-run properties, direct booking often gives 10-15% discount as they avoid commission fees.
July-August (peak): Apartment €50-120, 3-star hotel €70-150, 4-5 star €120-350. June/September: 30-40% cheaper. Kassandra is slightly pricier than Sithonia.
Kassandra (Kallithea, Chaniotis, Pefkochori) is ideal — organized beaches with shallow water, playgrounds, nearby supermarkets, pediatricians. In Sithonia, Nikiti and Neos Marmaras are equally family-friendly.
For July-August, book at least 2-3 months ahead. Popular hotels (Sani, Ikos) fill up 6 months before. For June/September, 1 month is enough. Last-minute you will only find leftovers.
