Halkidiki, Kassandra: resort specifics
The hotel we are describing is located in the village of Loutra. This is in Greece, on the peninsula of Halkidiki. A few words should be said about this fabulous place. On the map, Halkidiki looks like a palm with three fingers protruding into the sea. These small peninsulas have their own names. The westernmost “finger” is called Kassandra. In ancient times, it was called Pallini or Flegra. And when in the fourth century BC, King Kassander (brother-in-law of Alexander the Great) founded a settlement and port here, the peninsula was named after him. Of the three “fingers” of Halkidiki, this is the most populous. Fifty towns and villages are located in a continuous line along its coast. On the very southern edge, the village of Agia Paraskevi is perched. It is famous for the fact that near it, right in the middle of a pine forest there is a thermal spring, which has no analogues in the properties of healing water. So, the Aphrodite Hotel (Halkidiki, Kassandra) is located five kilometers from the village of Agia Paraskevi, but only seventy meters from its spa. A visit to it will help strengthen the cardiovascular system, heal loosened nerves, improve skin condition and get rid of rheumatism. Balneological procedures will bring more benefits if combined with the use of unique honey, which bees make only in this region.

The restaurant's terrace offers enchanting views of the mountains covered in pine forests. And the water surface of the Aegean Sea can be admired directly from their rooms.
