Portes Beach is an easygoing four-star right at the gateway to Kassandra, where the peninsula meets the mainland. It is loved by families for its long, shallow Blue Flag beach, a free kids club and mini disco, and a laid-back low-rise layout that never feels overwhelming. It is one of the closest quality family bases to Thessaloniki airport, which makes it a favourite for shorter trips with young children.
Our verdict
A dependable, good-value family base with one of the best shallow beaches in Halkidiki and a short hop from the airport.
The rooms
Fresh, low-rise rooms and family rooms in whitewashed blocks set right behind a long sandy beach. Family rooms comfortably sleep four, and bungalow-style options put you steps from the pool and sand.
