Hello,
This is about the homiest of forums I have been to. So, please, excuse my breaking in From your posts it seems that you are very familiar with Halkidiki area and have been here numerous times.
Since I am going to visit this peninsula FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME this August, could you, please, share some expert advice with me on the following topics:
Is there a direct bus from Kriopigi to Thessaloniki city centre?
What is the beach like in Kriopigi, is there any need for beach shoes?
Are there any one-day island cruises available from Kassandra?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi TZ
Yes there is a bus that goes from Kriopigi to Thessaloniki centre, they are ok but sometimes a bit unreliable, Kriopigi beach is clean and very nice, beach shoes are a good idea but it is pretty sandy in places, one cruise I know about is the mount Athos cruise which runs daily but from Sithonia which is on the next pennisula over.
Hope this is some help any more questions please ask.

The bus service to Thess. uses very nice,air-conditioned busses, the un-reliable bit refers to the fact that, due to the traffic, & the single track road from Nea Moudania southwards, they tend to run on G.M.T. (Thats Greek Maybe Time) the roundabout in Pefchohori is something the Greeks just have not got to grips with yet..all over the worl,:- give way to traffic on the roundabout, works well..in Pef..give way is not in anyones vocabulary, so oft=times, the traffic just grinds to a halt, the busses get caught up in it.
The upshot is, if the bus is due on the hour, you might have to wait anywhere between one minute and one hour for the thing to arrive..a bit unreliable !!!
