Ikos Olivia  

In Gerakini on Northern Greece’s Gulf of Toroneos, set on a private sandy beach. This all-inclusive, family-friendly resort is about a 45-minute drive from Thessaloniki International Airport. Gerakini Beach and Psakoudia are minutes away, with Ancient Olynthos and local monasteries within easy reach.

Set across 22 verdant acres with century-old olive trees, fragrant firs and immaculate lawns, the property mixes Mediterranean style with bright, cheerful rooms. There are 291 rooms and bungalows, including a Deluxe Collection BungalowSuite area, all air-conditioned and fitted with minibars and espresso makers. The resort began a 2024 refresh with a new garden entrance, updated public spaces and upgraded dining and Deluxe areas.

Enjoy private beach access and multiple pools — three outdoor pools plus an indoor pool in the wellness center — or unwind in the full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials. Active guests get outdoor tennis courts, a fitness center and a diving club; kids have a playroom and babysitting is available (surcharge). Sip cocktails at several bars and poolside lounges and wake up to sea‑breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The resort also offers dry cleaning and laundry services, a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff, concierge and free self parking.

Dining leans Mediterranean with six on-site restaurants, including a Greek option named Ouzo, plus four à la carte kitchens covering Asian, Italian, Greek and French flavors. A Mediterranean buffet, 24-hour room service and poolside bars round out the choices. Most meals and beverages are included in the all-inclusive plan, with some specialty dinners or items available for an extra charge.
