Acanthus

About Acanthus

Acanthus sits on the eastern coast of the Chalkidiki peninsula in northern Greece, close to the Potidaia Canal. The modern settlement occupies the site of the ancient city of Acanthus, recalled by the nearby Cemetery of Ancient Akanthos. Kastri Beach offers a quiet spot for swimming, while the Metalliki Koryfi and the viewpoint known as Klosterblick reward those who explore the hilly surroundings. The KTEL bus station connects the village to the wider region. Acanthus suits travellers looking for ancient history and unspoilt scenery away from the busier parts of Chalkidiki.
