Kassandra is at the westernmost tip of Halkidiki, close to Thessaloniki. Towns like Kallithea, Pefkohori, Siveris, Hanioti, and Nea Fokea are popular among tourists because most tourists choose coastal places for their holidays. There are many accommodations for lodging, as well as restaurants, clubs, and other entertainment like festivals. There are many sights that are worth seeing, like the Town Hall, the church known as Gennisi tis Theotokou, or “Virgin Mary’s Birth”, the church of Agios Athanasios built in 1850, the chapel of Agios Panteleimon, as well as the ancient Byzantine-era tower in Nea Fokea, the sanctuary of Zeus Ammon, the sanctuary dedicated to Dionysus and the Nymphs, the village Agia Paraskevi with its unique thermal springs, and the old Athitos village. The area also features green mountains and lots of beautiful beaches (such as Kallithea beach, Kryopigi beach, and Pefkohori beach).
