Snow starts falling early in the winter in the area and combined with the fir forest make Taxiarchis renowned around Greece! The traditional taverns offer an excellent choice of barbeque, while the local recipes for desserts and the wonderful views from the area are truly unforgettable! Taxiarchis, dominating on Mt. Holomontas, shall become your favorite area also during the summer, since the cool nights, combined with the clean atmosphere and the hospitable environment, are but a few of the features which make the area very attractive! Finally you must visit the exhibition hall of the Women’s Coop of Taxiarchis and buy spoon sweets, local liqueurs and brushwood from Holomontas!

“THE ALTERNATIVE DESTINATION”

The capital of Halkidiki is “embraced” by Mountain Holomontas. Polygyros is a modern city, yet flirting with tradition. One walk in its historic web is enough, with its dozens of restored houses and stone-paved streets charming the visitors! The Museum of Halkidiki, the Folklore Museum of Polygyros, the Municipal Theatre, home to many events and happenings, the Summer Festival of Polygyros in the city’s open-air theatre are places where the visitor comes to contact with history, tradition and art. Polygyros is also ideal for mountain getaways while for… altitude lovers a visit to the chapel of Ai Lias will fill you with awe, as the view of the whole of South Halkidiki from up there will surely “leave you breathless”!

“OFF THE BEATEN TRACK HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS”

If you enjoy the mountains, where the oak and beech trees dew the summer evenings, so much that you will probably need a jacket, then visit Paleochori, Neochori and Varvara! These areas have an accentuated traditional color lend to them by the activities of their residents and “surrounded” as they are by dense forests, will make you think that you have reached the villages of simple folk but also melancholic and romantic poets! Walk in the forest; listen to the gargle of the water of small ravines and face, if you dare the wild boars which live there free. For once you may detach the notion of holidays from the sea…

“A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE”

The “village of miners” is a picturesque hamlet in the “embrace” of might mountain volumes and ready to reveal to you the rare beauty of an area which, well “hidden” below beech and oak trees, lives “noiselessly”… Megali Panagia is also known by its traditional name, Revenikia, and is only ten minutes away from Arnea. It will show you the way to tranquility and deep relaxation. Charming narrow alleyways, traditional coffee shops, a central Square vibrant with life in the evening and at night, bringing to mind times long past, are just some of the things that you will remember for a long time. Traditional, small commercial shops stand “untouched by time” and ready to take you on a trip down memory lane. In Megali Panagia you will still find professionals such as horseshoe makers, tinkers, weavers, while the miners of the area are ready to describe in detail their own professional experiences! Should you visit Megali Panagia on the 15th of August, don’t forget to pay your respects at the chapel of Our Lady (Panagia) which is less than 3 km. away from the settlement. Devotees from all around Greece flock here and seek Her Grace on the festive Evening Prayer on August 14. If you are a religious traveler then in Megali Panagia you shall combine a beautiful vacation with getaways to the mountain while coming closer to Greek Orthodox Tradition.

“HALKIDIKI’S MOUNTAIN RESORT”

The “grand dame” of North Halkidiki, Arnea, formerly Liarigovi, is the most beautiful traditional settlement in N. Halkidiki. Restored houses and traditional mansions – refurbished and ready to accommodate you; stone paved streets for walks to remember, the Folklore Museum, the Historic Metropolitan Church of St. Stephan (Agios Stefanos), traditional cafes and restaurants hidden beneath the trees in the grove of Agia Paraskevi will bring you closer to nature on a trip down memory lane, in a setting of fairy tale beauty. Pure honey, traditional spoon sweets, locally made embroidery and textiles, made by local weavers on looms, chestnuts and brushwood are just some of the produce of the area. Life in Arnea is relaxed and its visitors “gain years” when they relax sipping their Greek coffee with a spoon sweet next to the gargling water and in the shade of the great plane tree at the historic Square. Ideally you may want to visit Arnea in the winter, when snow falls and covers the city like white linen, on July 26, when the holy festival of Agia Paraskevi (St. Paraskevi) paints the area with celebratory colors and during the Good Week – especially on Good Friday.
