We're not the kind to jump on bandwagons about 'the next big thing' when it comes to destinations, but there's something about cheap holidays in Halkidiki that we can't help but get excited about. This multi-pronged peninsula spreads into the northern Aegean in the most stunning way imaginable. Sun-soaked beaches are backed by lush hills, which in turn are scattered with traditional villages and age-old ruins, and all this surrounds the most lovely, family-friendly resorts you can imagine.

Discount Halkidiki holidays are may get a little less press than lots of their Greek counterparts, but this can only be a good thing for those of you on the hunt for a bargain Halkidiki getaway. And best of all, your cheap Halkidiki holiday is going to be as beach-tastic as you can imagine, thanks to three hundred miles of stunning coastline. And thanks to some smart folks in the local planning department, there's been very limited development here, so all this lovely coastline is just that: unspoilt, not too busy, and downright, well, lovely.

The nightlife and entertainment on your bargain Halkidiki holiday is also of slightly more authentically Greek flavour than many of the main islands. That's especially good to know for those of you seeking a last minute romantic Halkidiki holiday, or a longer cheap holiday for two in Halkidiki.
