Cora Hotel & Spa is tucked into the hillside just outside the traditional stone village of Afitos, on Halkidiki’s Kassandra peninsula. The elevated position delivers those “wow” views across the Toroneos Gulf, while a bridge from the hotel takes you directly to Vothonas’ small, uncrowded beach.

Spend the day between beach and pool, then take a short taxi ride into Afitos for cobbled streets, whitewashed tavernas and sunset dining. Thessaloniki and the wider Kassandra coastline are also within day-tripping distance if you’d like to explore more of northern Greece.

Cora Hotel & Spa leans into Halkidiki’s culinary heritage, spotlighting seasonal, local ingredients across three restaurants and a clutch of stylish bars.

Start your day at Ertha Main Restaurant, the buffet venue serving international cuisine with show cooking at breakfast and plentiful Mediterranean options at dinner. For more indulgent, lingering meals, there are two à la carte venues:

Apiro A La Carte Restaurant sits poolside and serves a refined mix of Greek and international dishes for lunch and dinner, while Delizia Italian Restaurant up on the roof terrace focuses on Italian and regional flavours with knockout sea views (seasonal opening; reservations needed).

Four atmospheric bars keep you refreshed throughout the day:
– Kassandra Lobby Bar for pre-dinner drinks and after-dinner cocktails
– Philos Pool Bar and Rastonee Lagoon Bar for daytime drinks and light bites by the water
– Rhoda Food Truck down by the beach, serving snacks and drinks in the summer months

Smart dress codes, opening days and reservation policies can change by season and board type, so always check the current information when you arrive. What All Inclusive typically includes.

You’ll have three outdoor freshwater pools to move between, each with its own outlook and ambience. All are fringed with sunbeds and parasols, with complimentary pool towels included, and are typically open from May to mid-October (subject to weather and hotel’s seasonal schedule).

Rooms with sharing pools step straight out onto a semi-private swim-up style pool shared between a handful of neighbouring rooms – a brilliant halfway house between private and social. If you’re all about privacy, book a room or suite with its own private pool and settle into your lounger as the sun drops into the Toroneos Gulf.

When you want sand between your toes, follow the bridge down to Vothonas Beach, a small, relaxed curve of coastline where you can alternate between the sea and the laid-back Rhoda Food Truck for drinks and light bites in summer.

The heart of the wellness offering is the spa, which features a sauna and steam room, along with a menu of massage and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum age 12 years; typically open 10:00–19:00 from May to October). It’s ideal after beach days or for a dedicated spa-focused escape.

For something more active, the air-conditioned gym includes cardio machines, free weights and a stretching zone (minimum age 12 years; usual hours 09:00–17:30).

Elsewhere around the property you’ll find:
– Landscaped terraces and relaxation areas with sea views
– Occasional evening entertainment between mid-May and mid-October (low-key live music or events; programme varies)
– 24-hour reception with concierge-style support and luggage storage
