A luxurious spa hotel

Located in the seaside town of Nea Potidea, on the first “finger” of the Halkidiki peninsula.

Food is outstanding, with elements of molecular cuisine.

Restaurants: four fine-dining restaurants, a generous buffet, a sea-view à la carte venue — Myrtales Taverna, the gourmet Hermes restaurant offering Greek fusion with touches of molecular gastronomy, plus a sushi bar.

Bars & clubs: Jason beach bar, an infinity bar by the pool, Artemis pool bar, the Roof Garden (rooftop bar), the main Athena bar, and a disco club.

A wide sandy beach with the hotel’s own umbrellas and sunbeds.

Two large outdoor pools and one indoor pool filled with seawater (including a 1,200 sqm heated infinity pool). There’s also a heated children’s pool with seawater.

Standard rooms are located only on the ground floor and can accommodate 2+1. They’re not small, and a big plus is the private lawn area — great for families with children.

Loads of activities: gym, tennis court, bicycle hire, an aqua gym, yoga, Pilates, and an excellent spa centre.

For little ones there’s a separate pool, a playground, and a kids’ club — and the kids’ club is genuinely excellent.

Nearby, there’s the Potidea Palace 4+ hotel.
