Blue Dolphin Hotel sits on the verdant Sithonia peninsula in Halkidiki, a scenic stretch known for pine forests, coves and some of Greece’s clearest water. The hotel is tucked just outside Metamorfosi village, giving you a peaceful base with easy access to low-key tavernas and shops a short drive away.

A sandy, Blue Flag beach is only about 100m from the hotel, with shallow, calm water that’s great for families. From here, you’re well placed for day trips to nearby Nikiti and Neos Marmaras, boat trips along the coast or simply exploring Sithonia’s slower-paced villages by hire car.

• Beach: approx. 100m (sunbeds & umbrellas charged locally)
• Metamorfosi resort centre: approx. 1.5km
• Nikiti: approx. 8km
• Neos Marmaras (west coast): reachable by car for a day trip

Approx. transfer time from airport: 1 hour 45 minutes from Thessaloniki (SKG).

Dining at Blue Dolphin Hotel ranges from relaxed beachside bites to creative Greek and Italian dishes.

Celeste Restaurant
The main buffet restaurant, Celeste, serves a generous spread of international cuisine for breakfast and dinner, with show-cooking stations at dinner. Expect a mix of Greek favourites, Mediterranean salads and family-pleasing classics, plus highchairs for little ones.

Olives À La Carte
Set by the pool, Olives focuses on Italian flavours for dinner, with a kids’ menu available. It’s a great option for a more intimate meal on-site, with a smart-casual feel (no beachwear).

Taverna Akatos
Down by the beach, Taverna Akatos serves Greek and international dishes for lunch, dinner and snacks. Ideal for long, lazy days by the sea when you don’t want to stray far from your sunbed.

Bars
A beach bar keeps drinks and snacks flowing from morning until late evening, while the pool bar covers daytime refreshments beside the water. Expect a mix of local, international and selected premium brands.

Smart dress codes may apply in the evening, and restaurant opening dates, reservations and supplements can vary by season and board basis.
