The village of Olympiada is located on the eastern peninsula of Chalkidiki where wild mountains with rivers and waterfalls meet fabulous sandy beaches and crystal-clear seas.

The holiday homes are situated at the entrance to the village of Olympiada which lies beside the archaeological site of ancient Stageira, birthplace of Aristotle (the famous philosopher and tutor to Alexander the Great).

In the spring and summer, the mountains are abundant with wildflowers and herbs with the best oregano found growing on the sides of mountain footpaths which we gather and dry – delicious sprinkled on Greek salad and feta cheese.

The village makes its own Feta cheese from sheep and goats that graze the local fields. Out at sea, you may see dolphins playing or in the shallows, perhaps a curious octopus swimming.

The village boasts excellent tavernas serving all the Greek specialities and delicious seafood, including our famous local Olympiada mussels. The restaurants can be found all along the village beach-front promenade and on beaches further along the coast. Bakers, butchers and supermarkets are within a 5-minute walk, where you can buy everything you need if you feel like cooking or grilling at home.

If you are here at full moon, you can see the moon rising out of the ocean in front of Garden Residence, sometimes rising behind our island to the left or behind ancient Stageira to the right depending on the time of year. On a clear day, you can see the island of Thassos on the horizon.
