On Northern Greece’s Toroneos Gulf, this all-inclusive resort sits on a private sandy beach in Gerakini (Polygyros area). Set across 22 verdant acres with century-old olive trees and fragrant firs, it’s about a 45-minute transfer from Thessaloniki International Airport and minutes from Gerakini and Psakoudia beaches.
