Other destinations

Understand

The most touristic villages on the way to Kassandra and Sithonia are Nea Kallikratia and Nea Moudania (& Dionysiou, Paralia Dionysiou, Portaria) Both are the main beaches for the inhabitants of Thessaloniki and on weekends quiet crowded and something for people that like more action than quiet environment.
