Chalkidiki is a colorful canvas, all year round. It has three peninsulas: Athos (east), Kassandra (West) and Sithonia (in the center). The capital of the prefecture is Polygyros, which is centrally located and built where Ancient Apollonia used to be. All the houses overlook the bay enjoying a fabulous view, as they are amphitheatrically built on the foot of Mount Cholomon.
Chalkidiki is a region in northern Greece that is known for its stunning natural beauty and pristine beaches. The region is made up of three peninsulas that extend into the Aegean Sea, each with its unique character and charm.
Numerous ancient cities in the prefecture of Chalkidiki blossomed during the prehistoric age. The town of Ancient Stagira is located about 500 meters southwest of Olympiada, on the small mountain peninsula of Liotopi. Several archaeological findings certify the very existence of this town during the ancient and Byzantine years.
