More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll out of Thessaloniki at first light and the highway gives way to the Kassandra peninsula: pines lean toward the sea, and the Aegean blue stretches like a dare. The private vehicle eases into Kallithea, where golden sand and clear shallows invite a morning swim and a slow walk along a busy beach bar strip. Later, the road threads through low, scrubby hills and olive groves to Pefkochori, a palm‑lined promenade where tavernas pour coffee and grilled fish into sunlit plates.
