| Chalkidiki
is a peninsula,
southeast of the city of Thessaloniki (Greece's second
largest city). With its characteristic three peninsulas (Kassandra,
Sithonia, Athos), it resembles a trident piercing the Aegean. Sunny,
golden sandy beaches, deep and picturesque gulfs, traditional villages
and modern tourist resorts, small islands and sheltered bays, pine-clad
hills descending to the sea, Mediterranean climate and magnificent
natural beauty compose the picture of today's Chalkidiki.

In 384 BC Aristotle, the great philosopher and Alexander the
Great's teacher, was born in Stagira. Chalkidiki took its name
from city of Chalkis, located in Euboa that colonized it in
the 8th and 7th century BC.
Kassandra took its name from Kassandros (King of Macedonia)
, Sithonia from Sithon, a son of God Poseidon and Athos was
named after a giant called Athos.
In the 9th century the first monastic communities were established
in Athos. Today, the monastic state of Athos (also called "Holly
Mountain"), is a shelter of Byzantine monasteries, caves,
monks, prayers, a "mountain-church" for the thousand-years
Christian Orthodox religion.
