Eagles Palace Resort and Spa, Halkidiki, Greece
Oh what a gem! I’ve been very lucky to visit and stay at the 5* Eagles Palace resort and Spa for a few days in May.
A small luxury hotel approximately 2 hour drive from Thessaloniki airport. A tranquil and picturesque area perfect for those looking total relaxation and excellent food. The flight was at 6 am and we landed in Thessaloniki mid morning (2 hrs 50 mins) and the transfer is very straight forward, hardly any traffic and easy.
On arrival at the hotel, we freshened up in our lovely seaview rooms and were immediately whisked in the garden for a light lunch and very good greek wine. We were then taken to see all the rooms in the hotel, most with seaview and some with plunge pool, they are so beautiful and fresh. In the evening, we had another 3 course A la carte dinner with more and lovely greek wine overlooking the sea.
The next day, after the vast array of buffet breakfast ranging from fresh fruits, their homemade muesli (must try, it’s so good), nice breads, cooked breakfast, hams, we were taken to their small pretty neighbourhood town of Ouranoupolis, also a small fishing village now with plenty of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle bus to to/from Ouranoupolis several times a day. On our return at lunchtime, Eagles Palace laid a beautiful and plentiful meze in their beachfront restaurant. It was such a wonderful treat.
Our trip was just full of excellent food and wine, most fantastic scenery and beautiful sea. Oh the spa is so nice, lovely Elemis products, a brilliant massage. A must try place, you will fall in love with Eagles Palace.
