METAMORFOSSI (Village) HALKIDIKI
Tel: +30 23750 61276
Fax: +30 23750 61276
Metamorfosis is a beautiful, all green, touristic village, it is located
near Sithonia and it is built next to the sea with a very good town plan.
The citizens are immigrants from the Asia Minor, very hospitable and
kind and always ready to offer their valuable services to the local and the foreign
tourists.
It is probably one of the most beautiful villages in the Northern
Greece. It is located on a verdurous slope of a hill, full of old pines and next
to the sea. Its golden beaches, the very clean deep blue sea and the delicate
shores made it very well known all over Greece and Europe. The perfect orientation
grants the area one of the best climates in Greece - cool summer, mild winter
with almost no humidity.
That's why the fact that the Ministry of Education chose the area
in 1950 for the first summer camp is not at all coincidental. The summer camp
is still operating.
NEA SERMYLI (Settlement) HALKIDIKI
Nea Sermyli was built very recently. The citizens are scattered all
around the ruins of the ancient
Sermyli. It's 5 km away from Ormylia.
The settlement grows very fast because it is upon the junction of the local road
to Ormylia and the highway Thessaloniki
- Sithonia and because
of the installation of many commercial motions in the area. Due to those facts,
today there are 80 citizens in the settlement, while the National Population Counting
of 1991 had recorded 29 citizens.

NISSI (Settlement) HALKIDIKI
The settlement of Nisi, is at the centre of the coast area and it is a product
of the constant illegal building in the last years. It has a population of 60
citizens, by the sea.
ORMYLIA (Small town) HALKIDIKI
Ormylia is the primary settlement and the head of the municipality.
It is built on the northern area at the foothill of the mt. Holomontas. Its population
reaches the 3.500 persons and it's the third biggest settlement of the country.
The general urban design of Chalkidiki country suggests the preservation of the
architectural and town - planning elements of the settlement, considering also
the fact that this is what the citizens wish too. The oldest building in the settlement
is the central Church of St George (1818). Some newer ones that are still intact
are: the campanile, some country houses from the previous century and the old
public school of 1909 in a very good shape. That building also serves these days
as the town hall.
PSAKOUDIA (Settlement) HALKIDIKI
It is the entrance of Ormylia
and the settlement that attracts most of the touristic activity and area development.
It is built by the sea, on the SW part of the municipality and next to the highway
Thessaloniki - Sithonia.
Psakoudia is mainly a settlement for vacations, in a coastal area of amazing beauty
and it's easily accessed. It has 120 permanent denizens and their main occupation
is touristic business. During summer the population reaches the 4000 habitants.
The structure of the settlement includes 4 big hotels (600 beds in
total), around 500 rooms to let, a camp and many restaurants, patisseries and
coffee houses. In 1993 the Ministry of Environment approved a plan for the urban
expansion of the settlement in an area of 600.000 sq.mt that will increase the
potential for future development of the settlement.

VATOPEDI (Village) HALKIDIKI

of immigrants from the Asia Minor that settled there after the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
It is built up on a hill next to the eastern shore of the river Havria, 5 km away
from Ormylia.

on land that was property of the Holy Abbey of Vatopedi
from Mt Athos. Until
