Cultural & Historical Experiences

Discover the authentic beauty and rich history of eastern Halkidiki through a fascinating journey across the Akanthos region.

The route passes by the historic Xerxes Canal before continuing to Ierissos, the capital of the Aristotle Municipality. Along the way, guests visit the Holy Spring of Saint Paul, the traditional boatyard of Ierissos — one of the last remaining traditional boatyards in Greece — the Ancient Necropolis of Akanthos, and the Cultural Center of Ierissos.

The experience also highlights important moments from the history of Ancient Akanthos and the “Black Threshing Field”, a historic site connected to the Greek Revolution.
