Interesting site, but a little more information would be welcome. You neet to use your imagination. Be sure to visit the museum before you hike up. Don't forget to bring water! Enjoy the cherrie trees in Spring. We did!

Situated in a quiet part of Halkidiki it made for a pleasant hour or so stroll. Gives a interesting insight to domestic life in BC Macedonia and had some pretty mosaics. I probably wouldn't travel a long way to see it - I travelled from...More
