Things To Do
A Channel Charm 

Take a stroll along the Potidea Channel, and you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the azure waters and rugged coastline. It's the perfect opportunity to soak in the beauty of Greece's natural landscape and snap some envy-inducing photos.  But here's a pro tip: when you visit, make sure you catch the sunset. Trust us, it's pure magic as the sky lights up over the channel, casting golden hues on the water. Now, for the ultimate photo op, head to the bridge at dusk. Snap away as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with fiery colours. It's the kind of shot that'll make your friends back home jealous! Just remember to bring a good camera and maybe a tripod for those steady shots.

A Byzantine Beauty

You've got to check out the Holy Church of Agios Georgios in Nea Potidaia. It's not your average church. Perched right by the sea, it's like a postcard come to life. The cool thing? Inside, you'll find stunning Byzantine-style frescoes that'll make your jaw drop. Think vibrant colours and intricate details that'll have you snapping pics left and right. Plus, the view outside is killer—think crystal-clear waters and blue skies stretching as far as the eye can see. So, grab your camera and get ready to capture some serious magic!

Drive 9 miles and step back in time, discover the ruins of an ancient Greek city as walk along and take in the crumbling walls, ancient streets, and remnants of houses that once buzzed with life. Now, here's a thing to not miss: the mosaic floors. Seriously, they're like works of art. You'll find intricate designs that have stood the test of time, begging to be photographed.
