The Danai: Beach, Villas and Greece's Largest Wine Collection

The Danai occupies a quiet stretch of the Sithonia peninsula in Halkidiki, northern Greece, a beach resort and villas far from the Cycladic crowds. It has built a reputation as one of the country's finest small resorts, combining a private beach with a genuinely remarkable culinary and wine program.

The dining is exceptional for its size. The Squirrel is an adults-only, five-table gastronomic restaurant under grand pines overlooking the Aegean; Andromeda serves modern Mediterranean on a marble terrace; the beachside Anithos handles Greek flavors and seafood; and the Noble House holds Greece's largest wine collection, over 1,600 labels, with a wine museum and 130-metre cellar, alongside a bakery and bar.

For a serene, wine-lover's escape in northern Greece, The Danai is a standout.
