Halkidiki Ammouliani

Who said that Halkidiki is the mainland-"island" of Greece? In the small bay of Toroneos, on the north-west of Mount Athos, there is a tiny, and the only inhabited island of Halkidiki, Ammouliani. With only 2 kilometers width and 2.5 length, Ammouliani can practically be walked from one side to the other in less than one hour. The small village-capital of the island, easily reached from the village of Tripiti, right opposite Ammouliani, on the third peninsula of Halkidiki. It only takes 15 minutes to cross the sea and the routes are more than frequent.

The island of Ammouliani is ideal for relaxation, while, the small capital town has to offer everything you need. A lot of fresh food, traditional houses, and a smell of flowers everywhere. Until the recent past, the island was not provided with water and, since they connected water supply, the inhabitants adore to growwhat they mostly missed...

Do not miss to take one of those small boats and go to the surrounding, even smaller islands of Drenia (the biggest is less than 600m long). If you have your own boat, you will be able to visit every single beach, not accessible from the island. The most popular beach of Ammouliani is Alykes, while there is an organised camping on the island.
