Possidi - Halkidiki - Kassandra
Possidi
a big sand dune stretching into the Aegean Sea. It is a place worth to visit.
Overlooked by the old castle of Mende it's a touristic developed but still
peaceful place to go and see. The sandy peninsula reaches out for hundreds of
meters into the sea and offers plenty of space for sunbathing and swimming in
the crystal clear waters.
Poseidon Sanctuary & Ancient Mende
Mende was founded in the 8 th century BC from settlers of Eretria on the island
of Euba. The city got famous by exporting local wine. The leftovers of the city
of Mende today are found on the plateau and slopes of a hill south of Kalandra
near the Hotel Mendi. The sanctuary of Mende was dedicated to Poseidon. It is
one of the oldest in Greece and was in use from the 12th to the 2 nd century BC
