2 + 2 Destinations in Greece to “catch” May: Kassandra (Halkidiki)

 

“In every blossom
of the almond tree
I see your face.”,
Nikos Vassilakis

 

Meet spring in the land of the Giants, on its lush mountain paths and the quiet coastal routes of Kassandra. Visit the cave of Petralona, the refuge of Hercules in the giant battles, to meet the beginning of human existence on Earth. Plan routes through pine forests and olive groves, filled with spring flowers accompanying you with their scents, butterflies adding colour to the air, birds chirping a happy tune and unique encounters with turtles and goats. Routes that lead to quiet but also more crowded beaches and picturesque traditional villages, unchanged by time. From Sani to the coastal village of Siviri, Afitos, Polychrono and Kryopigi, admire the nature that has awakened for good and is preparing for the touch of summer. Observe unique bird species in the coastal wetland of Agios Mamas and relax at the hot springs of Agia Paraskevi. Taste dishes with fresh fish and seafood, the traditional goat “bake” in the oven and drink your ouzo with the “caper of the sea”, the lily.
