The Wedding Website of Athena Mitrousis and Kevin LaPorte
Halkidiki is the most popular vacation destination in northern Greece! It is known for its exotic beaches, natural landscapes, picturesque villages and seaside resorts. The destination caters to every taste and all ages. The Halkidiki region is made up of 3 peninsula: Kassandra, Sithonia, and Mount Athos (from left-to-right). Our wedding ceremony will be held on the first peninsula (Kassandra) in the town of Nea Skioni.

Flight

Fly into Thessaloniki, Makedonia Airport (SKG)

This is the best option. Thessaloniki airport is about an hour and 15 minute drive to the wedding venue. From Thessaloniki airport, you can get to Halkidiki by rental car, taxi, or shuttle (if hotel/airbnb offers this option). Please feel free to reach out with any further questions! **Please note: ETIAS application is no longer needed (yay)! This will now begin in mid 2025 so no need to worry about it.

Rental Car

Can be picked up from Thessaloniki airport

Once in Thessaloniki, the best way to get to Halkidiki is to rent a car and take the scenic 1 hour drive along the Aegean coastline. I recommend booking a rental car through booking.com. We have rented a car using this website a couple times now and have had good experiences. https://www.booking.com/cars/index.en-gb.html?aid=1664426&label=taxi-dsa&sid=99ad7f6d130207bd3c5364eca1ebefce&adplat=cross_product_bar& You will find a few of the rental car companies located in the Thessaloniki airport as soon as you exit the baggage claim OR The rental car company shuttle service (found outside the airport, to the right) will bring you to their office to pick up your car.
