The 5 star Mount Athos Resort stands above its own sandy beach at the edge of Ierissos, close to the fishing harbour and just a short walk from restaurants, shops, cafe-bars and the village’s long main beach. It is a scenic 90 minute drive through the forested centre of Halkidiki from Thessaloniki Airport.
The hotel is not large. It comprises 61 rooms and suites in the main building and 13 bungalows in the gardens. Rooms offer all the comfort and mod cons one would expect of a modern Greek 5 star hotel, including luxury bedding, AC, WiFi, mini-bar, contemporary walk-in shower with bathroom amenities, tea/coffee-making facilities, room safe, TV, hairdryer and furnished balcony with garden, sea or harbour views. The spacious bungalows have a covered terrace furnished with sun beds and overlooking the gardens.
Wining and dining options include the main restaurant, a taverna overlooking the harbour (fresh locally caught fish is of course a speciality), a beach bar and restaurant, the main lobby bar and a rooftop terrace bar perfect for sundowners.
The beach is of fine sand and has a coveted Blue Flag (2023). Sun beds are free of charge and beach service is provided - watersports are available. Above the beach is the hotel’s large 40m infinity pool with a children’s pool adjacent (the hotel has a range of children’s activities in season).
The edge of Ierissos is just over a kilometre away - a flat 15 minute walk and a further 5-10 minutes to the centre - so everything you should need is within easy reach. You are only 10 kms from the borders of the autonomous region of the ‘Holy Mountain’ Athos and boat trips run from the harbour to view some of the monasteries from the sea.
Car hire is a good idea to explore this beautiful area more thoroughly and if you self transfer from the airport substantial transfer savings can be made - please enquire.
