Paliouri

Paliouri is a village at the south-eastern tip of Kassandra, near the "toe" of the first leg. It combines a traditional village core with organised beaches and a lush, pine-covered environment.

What sets it apart

Unlike the big, crowded resorts, Paliouri keeps a calmer, family atmosphere, with nature and lovely shores. It's also popular for camping and more natural beaches.

Beaches

Nearby are beautiful shores such as Chrouso, Glarokavos (a natural lagoon/marina) and Golden Beach, with shallow, clear water ideal for families.

Food and life

In the village and on the beaches you'll find tavernas with fish and local dishes, at a relaxed, unpretentious pace.

Getting there and around

It's about 1.5–2 hours by car from Thessaloniki. Nearby are Agia Paraskevi with its thermal baths, Pefkochori and Hanioti.

Who it suits and when

Ideal for families and those wanting calm, pine-backed beaches away from the bustle. Main season is May–September.
