Califea village
Description:
Calithea is a small but densely populated village in Halkidiki. In the summer, it is especially crowded due to tourists. The name translates as “beautiful view.” And indeed, beautiful nature, beautiful forests, calm and clean sea attract tourists here. Calithea is located in the eastern part of Cassandra. On a sunny day, walking the streets, you can see Mount Athos.
The village was founded in 1925. Previously, this territory belonged to the monastery of St. Panteleimon. By the sea you can see the ruins of the ancient temple of Ammon Zeus of the Hellenistic period (4th century BC). They were found by accident during the construction of the hotel.

There are restaurants, taverns where you can try local cuisine, a supermarket, souvenir shops and even fur coat shops. You can get from Thessaloniki by bus or rented car.
