While we didn't make it to the Outer Banks this summer, we still got a taste of salt water. We spent a terrific day at a family oriented beach on the Sithonian Peninisula of Halkidiki about an hour or so ESE of Thessaloniki. It is the middle of 3 peninsulas and is a little less developed than Kassandra. The third peninsula is Athos that is for the most part remote monasteries and tourism is very controlled and women are not allowed at all! We went on the first Sunday we were in Greece and it provided a nice way to catch our breath after a busy first week.
