Villa Tharo can be found nestled in the village of Agios Nikolaos, in the pine forests of Halkidiki, on the north coast of mainland Greece. The nearest international airport is at Thessaloniki, a ninety five kilometre drive through the Greek countryside to your holiday home. In the village of Agios Nikolaos, you will find provisions for your holiday, cafes, bars, and restaurants. The quaint resort has seafront tavernas, sailing and diving trips, and beach clubs for sunbathing by day, and dancing by night. The nearest beach is Mavrolitharo, only three hundred metres from the villa.
Agios Nikolaos is in Sithonia, the middle of the three Halkidiki peninsulas, and noted for its long white sandy beaches, and abundance of nature, most especially Ormos Panagias, Trani Ammounda, and Atki Salonikiou, with their turquoise sea and selection of watersports. The other two peninsulas are Cassandra, famous for its bustling resorts, and lively nightlife, and Athos, which is much quieter and home to the Eastern Orthodox monastery. The monastery of Mount Athos can only be viewed from the water, and only men may visit by arrangement at least six months in advance.
Island hop to the Drenia Isles, visit Stageria, the birthplace of Aristotle, and discover the cave of Petralona, and the marvellous mosaic floors of Olynthos. Sample homemade honey and local wines along the way. Visit Poligiros, the capital of Halkidiki, known for its nightlife and bars, and the Archeological and Folklore Museums. Travel further afield to the city of ancient Thessaloniki, and learn about the history and culture of the area in the Archeological and Byzantine Museums.
