IKOS Olivia
Halkidiki
OVERVIEW
Set in an impressive location on the Gulf of Toroneos, the IKOS Olivia offers a sanctuary of calm on the unspoilt peninsula of Halkidiki. Surrounded by 22 acres of beautifully tended gardens, the hotel is blessed with a beachfront location overlooking the spectacularly blue Aegean.
Renowned for its family friendly approach, the hotel offers plenty for big kids and little ones, with kids’ clubs, a dedicated pool and specially-designed children’s menus for smaller appetites. Grown ups will love the spa, the plentiful activities on offer from watersports to mountain biking, and the fantastic array of dining options available as part of the excellent all-inclusive board basis. Dine out on Greek, Italian, French or Asian-fusion cuisine within the hotel, or head out to the local town to explore the harbour and dine in a restaurant.
There’s plenty to do if you prefer to get out and explore, too. The region is famous for its beaches and unspoilt landscapes, and if you do choose to venture down to one of Halkidiki’s ‘fingers’, you’ll find it devoid of the tourists that often mar the islands come summer.
