TORONI (Municipality) HALKIDIKI
The most important sights of the area are the Acropolis of Vigla and Likythos,
with ancient ruins and Byzantine castles as well as the ruins of early Christian
temples (5th c AD).
SYKIA (Small town) HALKIDIKI
Behind the village on the hill called Koukos one can find the ruins of a walled-in
hamlet and its cemetery. The excavations have brought to light important buildings
and every day utensils of the settlement which are dated from the 10th-8th c BC.
It seems that a wall of width 1.20m and remaining height of 0.80m was founded
during the same period. In 1992, a mould was found indicating the local metal
work activity. Up to date, 98 graves have been unearthed. The evidence shows that
bodies were cremated, the ashes placed in clay pots and urns and then put into
graves or specially built shelves, while some of them contained valuables.
