Stratoni

Stratoni, a picturesque village on Chalkidiki's northeastern coast, boasts a rich history dating back to 600 BC. Previously known as Stratonicea, the area was renowned for its mines. Modern Stratoni emerged in the 19th century, initially settled by miners. The arrival of refugees from Asia Minor after the Asia Minor Disaster further increased the population. Mining remains an important occupation for Stratoni's residents even today.
