Chalkidiki TOP beaches: Ammouliani island, Ouranoupoli, Drenia - Greece | Complete guide
Ammouliani: A a tiny gemstone of northern Greece. A true reflection of your holiday dreams in Halkidiki
Ammouliani, in Halkidiki, is a tiny island, a green droplet in the gulf of Agion Oros; a small paradise made up of white sandy beaches, clear blue sea waters and a traditionally serene pace of life. With a rich history that goes back centuries, it also offers the visitor plenty of opportunity for interesting excursions.
Start your journey from this enchanting island and you will definitely fall in love with it. After all, at about 120 kilometres from Thessaloniki and only 2 nautical miles from the mainland coast, Tripiti, it is easily and affordably accessible by ferryboat.
What to do in Ammouliani
Time to explore
The main town of Ammouliani built like an amphitheatre above the bay, with beautiful, tiled roofs, verdant gardens and alleyways sweeping down to the sea shore. In its picturesque harbor you will see the boats casting colourful reflections into the calm waters while the old shipyard, with its Holy Mount architecture, invokes the times when the island was a dependency of the Vatopedion Monstery. Following the paths uphill, you will reach the highest point of the village and enjoy the enthralling panorama of Athos Peninsula and Agion Oros.
If you like hiking, you will especially enjoy the footpaths and the contact with nature as the island is full of olive trees and bushes. And since Ammouliani is a bird sanctuary, do not forget to bring your camera along to photograph your winged co-travellers.
The call of the blue
Ammouliani derives its name from the Greek word “ammos” meaning “sand”, so… you get the idea. The beaches on Ammouliani boast exotic white sand and clear turquoise waters, all certified with blue flags. You must swim in Alikes, the most popular and photogenic beach, enjoy the peace in Karagatsi and Porto Agio or head to Ai Giorgis and Megali Ammos for your daily swim. All the beaches are organized with umbrellas and sun loungers so you can cool down and enjoy carefree hours of fun or relaxation.
Welcome to Alikes beach! Here everything is set to be relaxing, fun and joyful. Swim, dive, do water sports, read your book and forget everything else. Alikes Camping is a great alternative for nature lovers. The beach bars with funky summer music are really fun, transmitting everywhere a party vibe!
Sea ventures
From Megali Ammos beach, circumnavigate the island by renting a boat and do some harpooning along the rocky, northern coast. The sea bed will fascinate you with its mesmerising variety of aquatic life. East of Ammouliani, lies a cluster of islets known as Drenia, or sometimes Gaidouronisia, whose beauty you cannot fail to be impressed by. Should you want to see other places, besides the island, Ouranoupoli as well as Ancient Stageira, Aristotle’s birthplace, are both within easy reach. Finally if, as you gaze upon the imposing form of Athos you feel the desire to approach it, cruises around Agion Oros are organized daily. The monasteries literally cling to huge awe-inspiring cliffs.
Ouranoupoli Chalkidiki Greece
Ouranopoli lies 140 km east of Thessaloniki. It is an ancient city, founded in the late 4th Century BC. Today is a popular summer destination. Don't miss the famous Prosforion Byzantine tower overlooking the seafront.

Chalkidiki: a heaven to fall in love with!
Culinary experience
The island has a plethora of restaurants and you can’t leave Ammouliani without trying the fish, quite possibly the freshest you have ever tasted. The island has the second largest fishing fleet in Central Macedonia so here you will find yourself tucking into the results of a catch which only a few hours before have been flailing about in the nets.
Meet the locals!
Ammouliani has approximately 550 permanent inhabitants.
With the same passion and determination that characterized their ancestors, present day inhabitants have succeeded in making Ammouliani a particularly tempting resort and the majestic natural environment is their strongest ally.
Get to know their beautiful tiny island and you will share in the bafflement of a London journalist who, in an extensive article for ‘The Times’, wonders why this paradise is not on the cover of every travel magazine.

Donkey Islands - Drenia Δρένια - part of Ammouliani, Chalkidiki, Greece
The locals call this area donkey islands and it’s a gathering of small islands just under a mile
off the coast of Ouranoupolis, a village situated on the coastline in the northwest part of the Athos peninsula,
part of the bigger Chalkidiki peninsula. These islets have many beautiful beaches to show us despite their tiny size.
You may go there by renting a boat from Ouranoupolis. No license is needed. This place is an idyllic combination
of fine, golden sand, aquamarine sea, vegetation and rocks. Its isolated bays are the ideal destination for those
that desire peace and relaxation, while you can get involved in all sorts of water sports at its sandy beaches.
