A highlight is the visit of cultural sites such as the fortress of Rentina, the temple of Ammon Zeus (near Kallithea) or the ancient Olynthos. The birthplace of Aristotle the ancient Stageira is particularly recommended.
Many of these places as well as the various beaches (beaches of Sithonia, beaches of Kassandra) are a little distant, so it is advisable to hire car to explore.
