On the western coast of Sithonia, Halkidiki’s central peninsula, surrounded by the rising slopes of Mt Meliton and the expansive blue of Toroneos Gulf, amidst 1.763 hectares of enchantingly verdant landscape, and along 9 km of sandy beach punctuated by 25 pristine coves, lies the one and only Porto Carras Grand Resort.

Located just 120 km (75 minutes’ drive) from Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece and capital of Makedonia, with an International Airport and a major cargo port, and 80 km from Mount Athos, the cradle of Orthodox Christianity, the resort is on the same geographical latitude as Majorca, enjoying a delightfully sunny and temperate climate all year-round.  

A legend since 1974, the first Grand Resort built in Greece, Porto Carras has been home to Princes, Presidents, and famous artists from throughout the world. Proud of our tradition of service, we also look to the future (awarded once more with the Green Key Eco Label) by supporting the environment with a “green policy”: triple desalination and drinking water production plant, state-of-art biological waste treatment plant, organic cultivation, systematic recycling, and product quality control.

The most comprehensive resort in Greece, eight times awarded by Conde Nast Traveller, features two 5star Hotels, an imposing world-class Villa, a luxurious Casino, one of the biggest Thalassotherapy & Spa Centers in Europe, an international-standard 18-hole Golf course, a private 315-berth Marina, the largest and best equipped Conference Hall in Northern Greece, a Horse Riding Academy, a Tennis Club with 9 courts, a Diving Center, a Nautical Club, plus Greece’s largest organic vineyard.
