The Danai, member of “the Leading Hotels of the World”is a Family-run Hideaway perched on the bluffs of the Aegean with a sandy private Beach and unique residences on the green peninsula of Halkidiki.
Sithonia is the middle peninsula of Halkidiki, nestled between Kassandra and the legendary Monk republic and UNESCO World Heritage Mount Athos. Sithonia is beloved for its natural beauty with a pleathora of bee colonies, vinyards and typical Greek villages and towns, Locals cherish the fine and often hidden Bays and turquoise waters far from the crowds.
The Danai is a leisurely 50 minutes drive from the Macedonia International Airport, Thessaloniki SKG, or of a 15 minutes flight by helicopter. For our Guests we happily organise private Transfers to and from the Airport.
While staying with us the Guests can reach the next nearby Town of Nikiti by E-Bike or foot if not by a 5 Minute Taxi ride, To explore the neighbouring peninsulas, we suggest Speed-Boat rides or full- day Yacht experiences
The Danai started out as four small guest rooms by Danai and Otto Riefenstahl in 1975. From its humble beginnings it grew into the luxurious Hideaway we now know, starring only 56 exclusive Suites & Villas, a private Beach and three famed Restaurants. The Danai is managed by son Kimon Riefenstahl while the whole of the Family is present and active on property, happy to personally meet their guests.
