Being a Greek expatriate living in dark and frozen Finland for 12 years, Greece is my ultimate summer destination. Greece is a top summer destination for many Finns and Scandinavians, too. In these travellers\u2019 minds, Greece is associated with crystal-blue sea, delicious food and sunny beaches. Many travellers from the Nordic countries have already travelled to the Greek islands in the South Aegean Sea to recharge their batteries after the long, dark winter. However, in Northern Greece there is a hidden paradise like no other place in Greece that only a few know and it\u2019s worth discovering. Ready to discover a hidden gem?<\/p>\n
Halkidiki<\/strong> -birthplace of Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle- is a dream destination balancing a combination of nature, gastronomy<\/strong>, wellness<\/strong>, culture and tradition. Halkidiki is not an island; it\u2019s a region on the mainland \u2013only 55km from the Macedonia International Airport of Thessaloniki\u2013 with three fjord-like peninsulas (Greeks call them \u2018legs\u2019) that dive into the Aegean Sea, creating a coastline of about 500km.<\/p>\n In the summer of 2014, my partner and I spent our engagement honeymoon at\u00a0the elegant and luxurious Pomegranate Wellness Spa Hotel<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>in Halkidiki. Two summers later in 2016, we brought our 7-month-old baby Philippos Dimitrios, staying this time around at the all-inclusive Potidea Palace Hotel<\/strong><\/a>, a beachfront resort ideal for families, which is Pomegranate\u2019s sister property.<\/p>\n Our small family is enticed back year after year by Halkidiki\u2019s emerald beaches with crystal clear waters, family-friendly resorts <\/a>and mouth-watering local cuisine. Anyone making their first holiday-with-baby should opt for a destination as stress-free and child-friendly<\/strong> as possible with all the necessary amenities and proximity to medical centres. Potidea Palace Hotel and Pomegranate Spa Hotel in Halkidiki tick all the boxes! When our little boy got an allergic reaction while vacationing at the Potidea Palace Hotel, the hotel management and staff was extremely helpful to provide us the best medical assistance as we saw the doctor who is always available at the hotel and then visited the nearest private hospital. After the necessary checks we returned to the hotel to continue our holidays.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
