A Brunch Tour in Halkidiki

Our mission? To discover Halkidiki’s finest spots for breakfast and brunch—places that offer unique dishes and cozy atmospheres. Mission accomplished! Check out our top picks below.

But first, a question: Are you a fan of traditional breakfasts, or do you prefer modern, fusion-style brunches?

In Halkidiki, you don’t have to choose—most places blend classic Greek breakfast items with international brunch favorites. Let’s explore the best of both worlds!

Greek Traditional Breakfast Experience

Start your day with the iconic Pittes, or Greek pies! Each bite bursts with flavors from locally sourced ingredients, made with recipes handed down through generations.

Then, there’s Greek yogurt—not your ordinary yogurt, but a creamy, rich treat steeped in Greece’s livestock farming traditions. Loaded with protein and packed with nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium, it’s as healthy as it is delicious.

And don’t forget Greek honey—its sweet, golden flavor elevates yogurt, desserts, and many other dishes. Greece’s honey-making tradition dates back to ancient times, making it a staple in every brunch.

No traditional Greek breakfast is complete without olives, eggs, and cheese, offering a perfect blend of savory flavors.

And of course, coffee. In Greece, coffee is an essential part of breakfast, with frappé being a classic favorite—instant coffee blended with water, milk, and sugar. But today, many opt for the cool and refreshing freddo espresso or freddo cappuccino, no matter the season.
