AGIA PARASKEVI (Village) HALKIDIKI
NEAPOLIS (Ancient city) KASSANDRA
A town on the isthmus of Pallene, on the E. coast, between Aphytis and Aege. (Herod.
vii. 123.) In Leake's map it is represented by the modern Polykhrono.
SKIONI (Ancient city) HALKIDIKI
Skione, Eth. Skionaios, Skioneus. The chief town on the isthmus of
Pallene in Macedonia. Although it called itself Achaean, like many other colonial
towns, in default of any acknowledged mother-city, it traced its origin to warriors
returning from Troy. Under concert with Brasidas the Scionaeans proclaimed their
revolt from Athens, two days after the truce was sworn, March, B.C. 421. Brasidas,
by a speech which appealed to Grecian feeling, wound up the citizens to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm. The Athenians, furious at the refusal of the Lacedaemonians
to give up this prize, which they had gained after the truce, passed a resolution,
under the instigation of Cleon to kill all the grown-up male inhabitants of the
place, and strictly besieged the town, which Brasidas was unable to relieve, though
he had previously conveyed away the women and children to a place of safety. After
a long blockade Scione surrendered to the Athenians, who put all the men of military
age to death, and sold the women and children to slavery. The site of this ill-fated
city must be sought for between the capes Paliuri and Posidhi.

THERAMVO (Ancient city) HALKIDIKI
Thrambus (Therambos, Thrambos, Thrambeis, Thrambousia deiras). A town
of the peninsula Pallene, in Chalcidice in Macedonia, is called a promontory by
Stephanus B., and is hence supposed by Leake (Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 156)
to have occupied a position very near the promontory Canastraeum, the most southerly
point of Pallene; but from the order of the names in Scylax we would rather place
it at the promontory upon the western side of the peninsula, called Posidium by
Thucydides (iv. 129).

SKIONI (Ancient city) HALKIDIKI
The chief town in the Macedonian peninsula of Pallene, on the western coast. It revolted from Athens in the Peloponnesian War, and being taken by Cleon, the male inhabitants were put to death and the women and children sold as slaves.
GLAROKAVOS (Settlement) HALKIDIKI
Glarocavos is a small, beautiful and natural gulf which is situated south of Pefkohori and is a place where you can enjoy the blue sea.
A city near the end of the Pallene peninsula E of Mende. The importance of the town, which figured in the Peloponnesian War, is indicated by the high assessment assigned to it in the Athenian tribute lists. The mound of ruins marking the site lies between Cape Paliuri and Cape Kassandra.
