Halkidiki with Acrotel

I’ve recently had the pleasure of visiting gorgeous Halkidiki with Acrotel. I was excited for this trip as I’ve experienced many of the islands but this was my first time to Halkidiki, it really did open my eyes to what a beautiful destination it is an how much it has to offer.

Day 1

A beautiful welcome from Acrotel, staying in the Athena Residence you will have your own reception area and VIP check in. Checking in to my maisonette I was not disappointed, they're a perfect mixture of luxury and traditional Greek charm. The maisonettes are perfect for families -with a double bed and separate lounge downstairs and a twin room upstairs, best of all you have your own beautiful terrace with direct access to the pool that is exclusive for guests staying in the residence. Lunch at Lemoni on the first day really did wow in every way, not only the beautiful setting but the amazing selection of food and wine and all at fantastic prices, for example a huge meat or seafood platter that easily feeds a family is only approx. 34EUR, not only amazing prices but really great tasting food and fantastic service to match. Another highlight of the first day was sitting outside in the evening listening to live music with a great choice of drinks and an amazing cocktail menu, the evening atmosphere was totally spot on, I looked around at all of the guests all I could see was smiles and laughter all round.

Day 2

I want to talk about some of the gorgeous Acrotel properties we visited on day 2, firstly the gorgeous Athena Villa, this is perfect for those who want a quiet getaway or for a larger group-it’s four separate accommodations with the option to take on all four to accommodate up to 18 people, surrounded by beautiful gardens with direct access to private beach, a great pool, BBQ area and even the option to get a private butler service. Next up was Elea beach, a perfect spot for beach lovers and those who prefer the option of all inclusive. Appox 10 km to both Nikiti and and Neos Marmaras where you'll find lot's of bars shops and restaurants. The biggest surprise for me was Lily Ann Boutique, this is a gorgeous 3 star property that really blew me away, so many of us are guilty of writing off hotels for not having enough stars but sometimes you come across a true hidden gem that has that offers an amazing setting with excellent service to compliment the beautiful atmosphere, I would really recommend this property.

Day 3

I’m such a foodie on holiday and I always especially look forward to dining experiences in Greece, the food was amazing every day of our trip but day three was particularly special with the day starting off with a fabulous Greek cooking lesson and live demonstrations of how to cook various Greek dishes. We then went on to find the most perfect beach front spot for lunch serving all your traditional Greek cuisine with amazing views from every angle, once again service really did stand out. I’d visit this restaurant over and over again and would recommend it to anyone. Dinner was another Greek feast (no it never gets boring) this time at the gorgeous Greek themed Dionysos restaurant at Athena Pallas, as well as enjoying amazing food you can also dress up and learn about the history of ancients Greeks.

Day 4

Is any holiday to Greece complete without a boat trip? A gorgeous day at sea with stunning scenery, crystal clear waters, swim stops and a gorgeous BBQ lunch and free flowing drinks. This was amazing value at approx. 30EURpp

Overview

Acrotel offer something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a villa, hotel or beautiful boutique properties. Perfect for foodies who love unique dining experiences. Above all the service throughout all of the properties is really personal and stand out, every member of staff will make you feel like a friend.
