“Porto Carras Hotel”, Sithonia / Chalkidiki, Macedonia, Greece [1975-1980] _ Architects: TAC / Walter Gropius.
“The Porto Carras Hotel is located on Sithonia on the Chalkidiki peninsula in Macedonia, Greece. While credited by the hotel to Walter Gropius, it was in fact designed, built and completed in the mid 1970s by his firm TAC (The Architects Collaborative), with Louis McMillen as Principal in charge and Serge Cvijanovic as Associate in charge. Given the collaborative way in which TAC worked, it's possible that Gropius might have had some brief involvement in the project in 1969 prior to his death, though that would almost certainly not have been via drawings, but rather through criticism or discussion via the group framework. Porto Carras was created by Yiannis Carras, a Greek businessman and ship-owner. The project brought a revolution to Halkidiki's tourism. Porto Carras Grand Resort includes two major hotels, the 5-star Meliton and 4-star Sithonia as well as the bungalow style hotels Marina Village and Kalyva Mare. There are also 45,000 olive trees; basketball, football, tennis and golf sports areas as well as a vineyard covering an area of 475,000 m². Porto Carras is home to the biggest private marina in northern Greece, having berths for 315 boats. It also contains restaurants, spa, interior and beach bars and a cinema theater. In April 2020, Porto Carras changed ownership and became a member of Belterra Investments. The resort of Porto Carras is near the traditional village of Neos Marmaras; a tourist destination, busy during the summer period, with many restaurants, cafeterias and tourist shops. With thanks to Michael Kubo for TAC information.”

You
can use one cabin to keep your belongings, change into fresh clothing, put the kids to sleep, etc. What motivates us to sail to West Sithonia That is a stunning location. With several remote coves that are inaccessible by car where visitors who value seclusion can swim and unwind alone. There are a few beach bars there that are only known to the local Greek population. There is a party area for those who enjoy it. Most of the time, the winds are light and the best time to sail is around noon when the boukadoura wind (sea breeze) blows from the south. The fact that there is typically no wind in the morning is the major reason we don't begin the tour earlier. We can sail near land to prevent a bumpy ride if the Meltemi wind is a little strong, or we can use it to sail better and faster. Our base is at Neos Marmaras, Sithonia, Halkidiki, Greece as a result. This enables us to pick up individuals from the Kassandra peninsula and transport them to some of Sithonia's most stunning locations away from the busy beaches. What concerning Mount Athos? Can we take a tour of it while we're there? The distance between our lodging and Mount Athos prevents it from being a part of our trip. There isn't anywhere in Halkidiki where we might go on a sailboat expedition to Mt. Athos. The shortest destinations, like Skala Sykias, require a 2-hour travel time, a 2-hour return trip, and at least 2 hours of exploration time. This indicates that the boat won't be able to stop for a swim for more than 6:30 hours when sailing (or most likely motoring early in the morning). So, without time for swimming or lunch breaks, our guests would spend most of the day outside in the heat. Everyone had experienced it and disliked it. You can see the monasteries from at least 500 metres away, so keep that in mind (it is prohibited to go closer to land and regularly enforced). Although the monasteries are wonderful, it doesn't compare to really being one. The effect is similar to viewing the Parthenon from a nearby hill. So, we advise taking one of the large boats from Ormos Panagias and spending the morning there if you wish to see Mount Athos. And another day of relaxing on the ocean with us. For PRIVATE trips you can reach us by phone or make a direct reservation at daytrips.vip/charterayacht Book here if you'd want to go sailing with other groups and share a sailboat daytrips.vip/portoscuba or speak with us for further information and current deals.

Wonderful!  Thank you😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing chapels across Europe
Originally, chapels were built as places of worship attached to private residences. Today, world-famous chapels like the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, and the Sassetti Chapel in Florence, have turned into must-see tourist attractions. However, there are many chapels found in Europe that remain largely unknown. These chapels are found in the foothills of the Italian Alps and along the shores of the Greek island
St. Paul’s Church located in Lindos, an archeological site on the island of Rhodes, Greece
A chapel in the forests of Cholomontas mountain, Macedonia, Greece
St. Martin Guernsey, located between England and France.
The chapel of Agios Nikolaos, built along the ruins of an early Christian basilica, located close to Halkidiki, Greece.
A red stone chapel in Santorini, Greece
A chapel built along the foothills of the Stubai Alps in Tirol, Austria
St. Gobban’s Chapel in Portbraddan, Northern Ireland
Sheep graze outside this chapel on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, on the western tip of Iceland
A chapel stands within a vineyard in Rheinhessen, Germany
St. Johann Chapel, at the foothills of the Dolomites near South Tirol, Italy
