Halkidiki Peninsula

Halkidiki is a regional unit of Greece (part of the Region of Central Macedonia in Northern Greece) known for its jutting peninsulas, which feature Mediterranean forests that give way to sandy beaches in sheltered bays. Halkidiki consists of a large peninsula in the northwestern Aegean Sea, resembling a hand with three fingers (though in Greek these peninsulas are often referred to as legs) Pallene (now Kassandra), Sithonia, and Agion Oros (the ancient Acte), which contains Mount Athos and its monasteries. The region's notable archaeological sites include Stageira, Aristotles birthplace, and Olynthus, known for its well-preserved mosaic floors.
