About Polygyros
Polygyros: Capital of Chalkidiki in Northern Greece
Polygyros sits at roughly 600 metres elevation in the hills of central Chalkidiki, 67 km south-east of Thessaloniki. As the administrative capital of the Chalkidiki Regional Unit, it serves a working Greek town largely untouched by the resort crowds that fill the three peninsulas — Kassandra, Sithonia, and Athos — stretching south toward the Aegean. The central square anchors a compact old quarter of stone houses, tavernas, and the Archaeological Museum of Polygyros, which holds finds from across Chalkidiki including objects from ancient Olynthos.
Where to Stay and Getting Around
Visitors base themselves in Polygyros to explore inland Chalkidiki away from peak-season beach traffic. The town is a practical midpoint between Thessaloniki airport (SKG, approximately 70 km north-west) and the resort strips of Kassandra. Local buses connect to Thessaloniki several times daily; a rental car is the most flexible option for reaching surrounding villages and monasteries.
