EAGLES PALACE Halkidiki strikes the Aegean Sea like a giant trident with Athos, its third prong, being by far the most beautiful. The monasteries of Mount Athos make it one of the most holy places on earth and out of bounds by a thousand year-old decree. The closest most of us will ever get is the ancient town of Ouranoupolis. Eagles Palace commands a premier position near the town offering guests luxury suites or self-contained bungalows set in lush gardens. It has all the facilities of a first class resort, its own private beach and a luxury cruiser that enables you to see the legendary beauty of the peninsula and the awesome peak itself. The accommodation has the indulgence of five stars, chic decor and private terraces that pay homage to the view. Exercise classes are held in the gym that include spa facilities. Light meals of all kinds can be taken in the Greek taverna or Garden Brasserie but for fine gourmet dining, the Melathron is really special.
