SithoniaSithonia is the average of the three peninsulas of Chalkidiki peninsula, Greece. Sithonia abundance of charm green with beaches and small sandy coves crystal. Chalkidiki, Greek peninsula with three branches in the Aegean Sea is so close to Sofia, it is worth even to jump up there for a long weekend. And if your soul smoldering nostalgia secluded uninhabited missing beaches of the Black Sea coast – it is the place Halkidiki. Here you’ll find sunny beaches, picturesque coves, fishing villages, campsites and small resorts. And, of course, that fantastic blue of the Greek sky and sea. Lovers of luxury will not be disappointed – five star amenities are at the level offered by the people for whom tourism is essentially an old business and livelihood. Chalkidiki relatively quickly to be reached by car – distance from Sofia to Thessaloniki is 370 km and then follow more per 100 rn to the selected resort. Having overcome secular repair road E-79 to Dupnitsa (which should have been more ready for the Olympics in Athens), the way in Blagoevgrad to tower is repaired, although most places have only two lanes. Crossing the border has luck – may become a matter of minutes, if the queue has accumulated for some reason – to wait an hour or two. After Promachon width of the path is changed – although not a highway, the road is mostly good. After our entry into the EU trip to Greece will become easier and cheaper with the abolition of compulsory insurance green card. Not a good idea to travel to Chalkidiki weekend – Thessalonians as widely exported and can stuck in traffic jams.
