SITHONIA
A blessed place between two bays:
Α blessed place between two bays: of Toroneos and of the Sigtigos. In the east you can see the Holy Mount of God, in the west you look over at Olympus, the mountain of gods: old and new blessings together!
Because of that, this place is gifted with rare natural beauties. Here, the incredible combination of the blue of the sea with the golden yellow of the sand and the green of the land, the marvelous alterations, rock-hill, hill-beach, gulf-mountain, shock the visitor and encourage him to stay to enjoy the coolness of the transparent sea, feel the warmth of the sun’s rays and revel in the splendid shady forests.
In our municipality, this coexists with the past and signals a more promising future. Traditional settlements (Parthenon, Nikiti, Agios Nikolaos coexist harmoniously with the modern ones (Neos Marmaras, Melgatsi, Nikiti, Agios Nikolaos). The walks around the paleontological, classical and Byzantine places are exciting and the paths in the forests and the mountain mass of Itamos are absolutely enchanting. Kampos Gregoriou is enticing you to visit, but the complex of Porto Carras provokes you more. You enjoy a cruise along the coast of the Athonite state,which is unique in the whole world, and learn to enjoy the crossing of the Sithonia Peninsula as you recharge yourself. Watching the revival of old customs and participating in local festivals amuses you, but you are thrilled as well to watch swimmers cross Toroneos every July. You are enjoying meeting with hospitable elders and you smile together with overjoyed young people.
It is then, that you realize that this municipality has a bright future.
