Ouzas Hotel

3 Highlights to Get You Excited:

1. Beach-Lover’s Dream: You’re just 130 metres (that’s less than a football pitch) from Olympic Beach, so you can practically roll out of bed and into the sea.

2. Mount Olympus in Your Backyard: Staying this close to the mythical home of the gods might just make you feel a bit legendary yourself.

3. Family-Run Charm: Warm, welcoming vibes from the lovely folks who run the place—like being at your nan’s, but with better weather and no unsolicited life advice.

Location: Could It Be Any Better?

Let’s talk geography. The Ouzas Hotel is in Olympic Beach, a quiet, chilled-out spot that’s perfect for those who want a bit of everything: sand, scenery, and easy access to the action.

• Nearest Town: Katerini, just 3 km away. That’s a quick cab ride or a slightly ambitious stroll if you’re feeling energetic.

• Nearest Beach: Literally around the corner. We’re talking a two-minute wander—less if you’re bolting for the best sun lounger.

• Nearest Airport: Thessaloniki Airport is about 1.5 hours away by car. Pro tip: gaze out the window on the drive—you’ll get some cracking views of the coast.

Rooms: Comfort Meets Practicality

The rooms at Ouzas Hotel are all about giving you a comfy base for your Halkidiki adventure. They’re not dripping in unnecessary frills, but honestly, who needs gold-plated taps when you’ve got all this?

Here’s what you can expect in every room:

• Air Conditioning: Because Halkidiki summers don’t mess around.

• Flat-Screen TV

• Mini Fridge: Keep your Fanta Lemon chilled and your midnight snacks handy. Priorities.

• Wi-Fi: Free and reliable, so you can post your beach snaps faster than your mates can type, “Jealous!”

• Balcony: Start your mornings with a coffee and a sea breeze or end your evenings with a sneaky glass of wine. Bliss.

If you’re travelling with the fam or just want more space, the larger apartments come with proper kitchens. So if you fancy trying your hand at Greek cooking—or just want to keep your ice cream habit alive—you’re sorted.

Food & Drink: Fuel for Your Adventures

Let’s get to the good stuff: food. The Ouzas Hotel knows the way to your heart is through your stomach.

• Breakfast Buffet: Fresh bread, local cheeses, olives, homemade jams… You’ll be going back for seconds (and probably thirds). It’s the kind of breakfast that has you feeling like you could conquer Mount Olympus.

• On-Site Restaurant: They’re all about traditional Greek and Mediterranean dishes. Whether you’re a carnivore, veggie, or somewhere in between, there’s something delish waiting for you.

• Bar: Open whenever you fancy, whether it’s your morning coffee fix or a cheeky sundowner after a long day of beach lazing.

What to Do at Ouzas (and Beyond):

Ouzas isn’t a big resort with endless pools and activities—and that’s a good thing. Instead, it’s perfectly placed for you to get out and about, or just enjoy some downtime without a giant itinerary hanging over your head.

• Beach Time: With the beach practically on your doorstep, you’ll spend most of your days soaking up the sun, taking dips in the sea, or having a go at water sports. Paddleboarding, anyone?

• Free Bikes: Borrow one of the hotel’s bikes and pedal along the coastline. You’ll find little cafes, stunning views, and plenty of photo opportunities. Plus, it’s a sneaky way to burn off all that baklava.

• Hiking & Exploring: Mount Olympus is just 5 km away. Whether you’re up for a serious hike or just want to snap a selfie with Greece’s most famous mountain, it’s worth a visit.

• Local Adventures: From fishing trips to diving spots, the area’s got plenty of outdoor fun to offer. If you’re a bit of a thrill-seeker, you won’t be bored.

Things to See Nearby

If you can tear yourself away from the beach, there’s loads to explore in the surrounding area. Here’s a taster:

• Mount Olympus: It’s not every day you get to stand in the shadow of a mountain that’s steeped in myth. Whether you hike it or admire it from afar, it’s a proper bucket-list moment.

• Ancient Dion: This archaeological site is a history buff’s dream. Wander through ruins, feel like Indiana Jones, and learn a thing or two about ancient Macedonian culture.

• Petralona Cave: Fancy something cool—literally? Head to this prehistoric cave and check out the ancient stalactites, fossils, and the site where early humans left their mark.

• Traditional Villages: Hop in the car and visit charming villages like Arnaia and Afitos. You’ll find cobblestone streets, cute little shops, and tavernas serving food that will ruin you for life (in the best way).

• Festivals: Time your visit right, and you might catch a local festival. Think music, theatre, dancing, and a whole lot of fun. It’s like a massive Greek party, and you’re invited.
