  • Chalkidiki - Sithonia Κεντρική Μακεδονία - Χαλκιδική - Σιθωνία Sithonia Ist Die Zweite Halbinsel (Mittlerer Finger) Von Chalkidiki
    Zentralmakedonien - Chalkidiki - Sithonia Κεντρική Μακεδονία - Χαλκιδική - Σιθωνία Sithonia ist die zweite Halbinsel (mittlerer Finger) von Chalkidiki. Dieser Teil Chalkidikis ist nicht so Touristisch wie Kassandra, was sehr Reizvoll ist. Eine schöne Landschaft und viele kleine Dörfer mit Stränden laden zum verweilen ein. Gerade die Ursprünglichkeit dieser Halbinsel machen den Aufenthalt so Angenehm, hier ist Griechenland pur. Gerakini - Γερακινή Gerakini ist der Standort des Hotels Posidona Beach. Gerakini ist alles andere als eine Touristenhochburg. Die Straßen sind Teilweise ohne Bürgersteig, die Fahrbahn geflickt und buckelig. An diversen Baustellen darf man sich nicht stören. Trotz allem ist Gerakini nicht Unattraktiv, man trifft auf viele Griechen und die Preise sind moderat bis sehr billig. Kaum Ausgebaute Straßen Im Zentrum befindet sich eine größere Hotelanlage mit Geschäften und rund um diese Anlage gibt es diverse Läden mit Souvenirs und allgemeinen Bedarfsartikeln. Ein paar sehr Gemütliche Tavernen, einen Supermarkt und ein Kiosk mit tagesaktuellen Zeitungen und man hat den Ort erkundet. Die nähere Umgebung ist nicht sonderlich schön, so befindet sich in ca. 2 Km eine Autobahnähnliche Straße und die Wohnhäuser dort sind nicht für Touristenaugen geeignet. Auch das Tagebaugebiet eignet sich nur für Industrieliebhaber. Spaziergänge am Strand sind da schon wesentlich besser, hier genießt man einen tollen Ausblick und Atemberaubenden Sonnenuntergang. Ein Mietauto ist unabdingbar, denn schon ein paar Kilometer weiter gibt es schöne Ortschaften. Busverbindungen haben wir hier keine Entdeckt. Das Auto kann man im Ort mieten, allerdings spricht der Örtliche Verleiher kein Deutsch. Im Ort gibt es keine Bank, also auch kein Geldautomat. Die nächste Bank mit Geldautomat befindet sich in Agios Nikolaos etwa 23 Km von Gerakini entfernt, dort gibt es auch eine Apotheke.
