Porto Carras, hotel and marina in Greece
Porto Carras is a large resort on the sandy coast of Chalkidiki with a private beach and attached marina. The grounds spread across forests, gardens, and shoreline, offering a main hotel with nearly 500 rooms plus villas that can host larger groups.
The resort was founded several decades ago and grew alongside the wine estate that has long produced wines in this region. Over time it expanded into a larger retreat, though some buildings now show their age.
Porto Carras takes its name from the wine estate that shapes the region's identity. Visitors can walk through vineyards and taste local wines, experiencing how viticulture remains central to life here.
The resort sits about 120 kilometers from Thessaloniki and is easily reached by car. Free private parking is available for guests, along with an airport shuttle service for arrivals.
The resort contains Greece's largest wine estate where visitors can taste grapes and wines produced on the property. This blend of hospitality and wine production is rarely found in a single location.
