Do you have young children and still trying to decide where to go for the Summer? Sani Resort welcomes children! That’s why children up to the age of 12 stay free in three out of their four properties.
Halkidiki is a region in northern Greece known for its jutting peninsulas, which feature Mediterranean forests that give way to sandy beaches in sheltered bays.
Before having children my husband and I visited Sani Resort twice in Halkidiki, Greece. It is absolutely stunning, but most of all their facilities for families with young children are excellent! We would very highly recommend Sani Resort to families with children and hope to return one day now that we have our own children.
One thing to note is that once there, you are quite isolated unless you have a car to get around. Thessaloniki is only a 40 min drive away and definitely worth exploring. Alternatively there are lots of other small villages to explore along the coast. If you don’t have a car and want to get out and about the hotel does provide a minibus that does day trips to some of the other local villages of interest.
