Map & location
Kalithea (Halkidiki), Greece
Ammon Zeus Hotel occupies one of Halkidiki’s most coveted spots, right on a Blue Flag beach in Kalithea on the Kassandra peninsula. Days here drift between crystal-clear water, golden sand and the hotel’s stylish terraces, with the archaeological site of the Temple of Ammon Zeus almost on your doorstep for a dose of history between swims.
A short 400m stroll brings you into Kalithea resort centre, where you’ll find an extensive shopping area, cafés, tavernas and the famously lively nightlife strip. It’s a great base if you like calm days by the sea followed by buzzy evenings – or simply retreating back to your balcony to watch the lights twinkle across the bay.
