When to visit

The best time to visit Ouranoupolis is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and perfect for exploring the town on foot. Summer can be quite hot, so it's best to avoid visiting during the peak months of July and August. Winter can be quiet in Ouranoupolis, but it's a great time to experience the town without the crowds.

Getting around

Getting around Ouranoupolis is easy on foot, as the town is small and walkable. Visitors can also rent bicycles to explore the surrounding area. Taxis are available for longer journeys, and there are also boat tours that offer a unique perspective of the town from the sea. Renting a car is another option for those looking to explore the wider Chalkidiki region.
