Gerakini (or Yerakini) is a picturesque beach settlement, which nestles in the area between Kassandra and Sithonia. It is set in close proximity to Polygyros, which is the capital of Halkidiki. During the stay in Gerakini, travelers have a wonderful opportunity to admire scenic views of the Gulf of Torone.
The settlement of Gerakini is located approximately 65 kilometers from Thessaloniki. Thus, you can easily get there by public transport or taxi. However, if comfort and a possibility to save make much of a difference to you, you should better book a transfer. This service can be requested in advance, what makes it comfortable for travelers who always worry about transportation.
The Chalkidiki Prefecture is the home for one of the hospitable tourist villages, which bears the name Gerakini. It provides excellent facilities for full-fledged holidays with a family or a beloved person: a long beach covered with warm fine sands, clear sea waters, and well-developed infrastructure for relaxation. A celebrated Greek poet Nikos Kavvadias was one of those people who greatly appreciated this place for family vacation.
Warm clear waters, traditional Greek hospitality, and the unspoiled beauty of local nature will provide you with a possibility to fully experience all the wonders of the Mediterranean.
Within the settlement, you can experience the weather that is inherent to Greece. The typical Mediterranean climate brings hot and dry weather in the summer and moderates temperatures in winter. Thus, Gerakini becomes one of the most comfortable destinations to come to all year through.
In July – August, the temperature goes above 30°C. In winter, the temperature indicator does not fall below 0°C and may sometimes even reach +10°C. The water temperature during the summer season reaches +25°C. In winter, the water temperature does not fall below +10°C.
There is a wide choice of attractions to visit in Gerakini. The village is set just in 2-kilometer distance from the ruins of an old Roman settlement. It was found during the excavations and is considered to be a part of the classic city of Mickyverna. In addition, if you travel to the north of Gerakini, to “Celio”, you will find the sights of Roman and Byzantine settlements.
The Petralona cave is another popular landmark you shouldn’t miss visiting. You can find it at the western footsteps of the Katsikas Mountain, at an altitude of 300 meters.
If you like history and wish to feel the spirit of the ancient city, take a glance into the Folklore Museum of Polygyros. It is set 15 kilometers from Gerakini. The museum stands right in the city center. It is a reconstructed building, the residence of Mr. Karaganis, the former Mayor of Polygyros. He donated the property for the purpose to create a museum in it.
It is evident that you won’t find a Greek city taxi driver who speaks several foreign languages. However, our transfer company guarantees that you will be provided with a driver who speaks the necessary language. Furthermore, you will get access to a customer support service that operates round the clock. Thus, you can get a consultation upon any question any time. Besides, help with luggage and check-in are offered at no cost.
How much does it cost to get in or out of the settlement? The price directly depends on the length of the route. Note that city taxi drivers apply extra fees for boarding, amount of baggage, time spent in traffic jams, etc. Besides, taxi vehicles are usually old and do not provide the elementary features of modern comfort like air-conditioning and Wi-Fi.
When you book a transfer, you kill two birds with one stone – travel with comfort and save. It happens so because the price of our service includes the distance and the class of vehicle only. The fees are indicated from the beginning: starting from 1 euro per 1-kilometer distance.
