Those who have already managed to go on tours to Greece (prices of 500-700 euros per week, by the way, allow you to make even several trips a year) often compare Halkidiki with the "trident" of the god of the seas, Poseidon. Why? The thing is that geographically this settlement is located in the region of Central Macedonia and is connected to the mainland only in the northern part.
