Chalkidiki

The peninsula of Chalkidiki is located in Northern Greece - in Central Macedonia. The particular shape of the peninsula looks like three open outstretched fingers, each forming a smaller peninsula - Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos (Mount Athos). According to historical data, Chalkidiki was colonized in the 8th century by Chalkians and Eretrians. There are records of it in the history of the Persian Wars, the Athenian alliance, during the time of the Macedonians, the Romans and Byzantium, right until this day. Chalkidiki is famous for its natural beauty, since it boasts about its lush vegetation, running waters, springs, lakes, creeks and beaches with crystal clear water surrounded by green forests with century-old trees. Its villages, mountainous or coastal, are particularly picturesque with a strong element of traditional architecture.
