More and more people are fleeing from the crowds - and seeking exactly what Halkidiki can still offer: peace, silence, and a sea without a mass of tourists.
“Do you have an apartment in a peaceful place, away from the crowds?” “Give me a recommendation where I don’t have to worry about parking,” or “Do you have a place without people, I want to relax?” - these are the most common questions we receive.
Fortunately, Halkidiki still has enough such places, and in this text, we present precisely such locations: those that offer silence, nature, spacious beaches, and a truly relaxing vacation - without traffic, noise, and crowds.

What do you get when you choose peaceful places?

Vacationing in a peaceful place means:
No noise or traffic.
No struggle for a spot on the beach.
The sea “just for you” and nature.
Nights are quiet, days slow and light.

Who most often chooses such places? Families with young children, older couples, those who do stressful jobs, digital nomads… as well as anyone who wants to “disconnect from the world” for at least ten days.

The advantages of vacationing in a peaceful place are: quality sleep, nature, sea, sun, walks, without any stress.
