This year celebrate Easter in Halkidiki, under the shadow of Mount Athos, next to the spiritual capital of Orthodoxy and enjoy a unique stay at Eagles Villas with traditional food and unique activities in the enchanting nature of the Municipality of Aristotle.
On Good Friday, follow the impressively embroidered epitaph through the picturesque streets of Ouranoupoli.
The epitaph of Ouranoupoli is a whole ritual hiding behind it the mastery, imagination and great effort of the villagers who prepare it for whole months, so that it is ready to adorn their parish after the Crucifixion of Christ.
With color, but true to the simplicity and symbolism of white, with real fine art, with elaborate designs, with over 70,000 thousand sequins, pearls and beads, the epitaph of Ouranoupoli looks as if it has been imprinted from the canvas of some great artist!
Visit to the birthplace of Aristotle, ancient Stageira and to the aristocratic town of NE Halkidiki, Arnea.
The tour of the ancient Stagira will begin with a light walk in the archaeological site of the ancient Stagira, decorated with labels informing about the flora of the area and uses during antiquity.
We will visit the acropolis, a location with an amazing view, the market, Hellenistic houses, the thestophorium and the archaic temple.
At the same time, we will tour the stoa, the road followed by the priests during the performance of ancient rituals, where, following the route through a grove, we will end up at the tomb of Aristotle.
Then we will visit the traditional settlement of Arnaia, the amazing church of Agios Stefanos with the glass floor, which highlights buildings of older churches. While we will have the opportunity to taste the excellent local honey and Mundovina, a local drink. Optionally for those who wish, they can browse the stone-built alleys ending up at the two museums of the area, the Folklore Museum and the Weaving Museum. There will be free time for food, coffee, etc.
