hi all ive just got back from hanioti today only afew hours actually (am already missing the place) and it was one of our best holidays. Hanioti is one of the safest places we've been to abroad and would reccommend it to couples and families. There is a main square with little side streets which is full of places to eat and drink. This place is not rowdy at all and most of the square consists of restaurants with afew bars to relax in after your meal. While we was there we never saw any crowds of young people being rowdy and drunk like we have at other places. Hope this helps you make up your mind.........

I would just like to inform anybody that is about to depart for their holidays to Halkidiki that there is no danger and don't be put off coming.
Was it bad? Yes it was.
Is it a disaster? No it isn't. Everybody WAS running scared wondering whether they WERE in danger, if their homes/businesses/cars were on fire andif they would ever recover from such terrible events.
How are things now? The effort of the locals to restore order and normality has been outstanding. Everybody taking part in their own little clean up operations. After a meeting with the local shop owners, everybody is converging on the square at 7AM to clean up any remaining damage or anything affected by the smoke and ash, not fire. I can count on one hand how many hours sleep my wife has had in the last 3 days. Many of the villagers risked their own lives keeing Hanioti village the beautiful and safe holiday destination that it was and still is. We owe them a debt of gratitude. The very night after the main fire, as soon as we had electricity and water, we were open. The next night, everything was open. So things are pretty good considering....
What about the smoke and ash? Yes the last few days have been affected by smoke but every day gets better and better. A little smoke was to be expected as thousands of square metres of countryside went up in flames. The ash, well, nothing a good hosing or sweeping hasn't sorted.
I am speaking for Hanioti but I am sure this is being repeated up and down the peninsular by other villages.
So, if you are planning to visit, there is a friendly welcome waiting for you and please dont abandon us for the sake of a lot of exaggeration and sacremongering.
