Greece’s Halkidiki peninsula continually captivates with striking natural landscapes, expansive beaches and interesting historic landmarks. Here, on the Mt. Athos “finger” of the peninsula, sandy seashores and towering cliffs of the Aegean coastline give way to oak- and pine-clad mountains in the interior. Looming in the background is the magnificent Holy Mountain, soaring more than 6,700 feet (2,000 meters), with architecturally stunning monasteries dotting its slopes.

It’s also the homeland of Greek superstar Aristotle — you’ll celebrate this enormously influential philosopher-scientist with a visit to Aristotle’s Park. On display there are some of the instruments he would have used in his physics calculations, such as a sundial, compass and pendulum. As you’re strolling along, be sure to take in the views below of Ierissos Bay. From there, you’ll continue to ancient Stagira, the birthplace of Aristotle. Though little remains of this once vibrant city, you can take a moment to gaze around, knowing that you’re looking at the same views Aristotle saw 2,400 years ago! Your final stop is at a special vineyard for wine tasting — the estate of Claudia Papayianni! Sip and savor premier wines from her award-winning cellar door before heading back to the hotel.

The rest of your itinerary is entirely what you make it at your family-friendly seaside hotel — you’ll find a vast array of activities there to suit all ages and energy levels. While kids play at their own mini club or outdoor playground, adults can pamper themselves using the included discount for spa services. Want to venture away from the hotel for a few hours? At nearby Nea Roda, you can walk the quaint streets to the church, ruins or cafe. Down the road in the opposite direction lies Ouranoupolis, the last community before the restricted monastic region. This picturesque town boasts a byzantine-style tower built in 1344, nearby fortress ruins of Frangocastro and a promenade along a Blue Flag-certified beach.

What we love:
• Aristotle remains one of the world’s greatest thinkers, even though he was born more than 2,000 years ago.
• Most of the Mt. Athos peninsula is an autonomous region, and UNESCO-protected Mt. Athos is home to 20 monasteries and 1,400 monks. For more than 1,000 years, the only visitors allowed to this sacred place have been adult males.
• A great way for everyone in the family to see Mt. Athos is from the water — just rent a boat or join a tour and go! From the bow, drink in stunning views of the Holy Mountain, ancient monasteries, dense forest and the skyline of Ouranoupolis, as well as yellow coral reefs and possible sea life like the critically endangered monk seal.

Pricing for children for this hotel may differ from (and be greater than) pricing for adults. Click BOOK IT to check. If the pricing for children differs from the pricing for adults, refer to the Policies section for further details.



Please note: Beginning January 1, 2018, the Greek Ministry of Tourism will enforce an “Overnight Stay Tax,” a new charge that is applicable to tourists and which must be collected by the hotel upon check-in. This tax is dependent upon the star rating of the hotel and may vary between high and low seasons. This is a government implemented charge beyond the control of Rovia™. Payment of this tax is the sole responsibility of the individual tourist; should the policy change, we will inform you and update this information.



Hotel Check-in Requirements

By booking this DreamTrip I understand that the hotel may request a credit card upon check-in. The hotel may request the credit card in order to: a) place a monetary hold of US$50-200; or b) hold for incidental, security or other charges. By booking, I acknowledge having received notice of this potential charge and accept that Rovia™ recommends a credit card rather than a debit or bank card be used in the event the hotel requests the card. I understand that any such request made by the hotel is outside of the control of Rovia and is strictly a hotel policy. Should I have questions concerning the hotel’s policy, I accept responsibility for contacting the hotel independent of Rovia.

In many countries, passports and visas must be valid for 6 months or longer after the trip end date. If you are unable to obtain the required identification and other documentation, the Cancellation Policy for this DreamTrip will apply.

Make sure that you request a name change or room change at least 31 or more days before the 1st day of your trip.

Each individual, including each child, who is coming along with you on your DreamTrip is required to have a booking prior to the commencement of the trip. If you do not book and pay for each such person in advance of the trip, you will be charged the hotel’s then-current rate, not the trip price, for each such person at the time of your check-in.

Pricing for children is based on their age at the time of travel and may be subject to additional terms and conditions of individual hotels and all-inclusive resorts. Also, pricing for children can vary, and may be higher than pricing for adults. Therefore, before you book any travel, please check the relevant hotel or resort website for applicable terms and conditions as well as details regarding their pricing structure.

Pricing shown is for each person, and is based on 2 adults per room.

Please don’t consider your change requests official until you receive a confirmation email from us.
