Summer Holidays to Polichrono

Polichrono Sun Holidays Review and Guide

For a tiny piece of accessible paradise take a summer holiday to Polichrono. It’s by a long way not the liveliest place on the Halkidiki peninsula but for shrugging of the harsh realities of everyday life and for some real relaxation it’s just about perfect. At first sight it a Polichrono summer holiday doesn’t seem to promise much. It has a beautifully fragrant appearance of dinky white villas with red tiled roofs draped with vibrant bougainvillea hidden by massive clumps of rhododendrons but all the focus of a Polichrono summer holiday is down on the seafront. Up the hill in the old part of the village you can stand amid gnarly old olive trees and gaze down on the reasons you’ve taken a summer holiday to Polichrono. Take in the sights of the bluest of blue waters in the beautiful bay, the swathe of gorgeous honey coloured sand dotted with colourful loungers and umbrellas and the strip of tavernas, bars and shops with their bright signs and pavement invitations to treat. Down in this new part the welcome is unmistakably Greek. The beach is well equipped for long lazy days next to or in the water. Snorkelling is one of the favourite activities on a Polichrono summer holiday. The restaurants are exquisite, serving the best kleftiko and moussaka along with spine tingling chilled ouzo rounded off by sweet coffee and as the candles burn low inside or the stars twinkle more brightly outside, the pace is notched up but just a little because the ultimate premise of a summer holiday to Polichrono is laid back enjoyment.
