The village of Agios Prodromos
Agios Prodromos is located in central Chalkidiki. It is just 14 km away from the capital, Polygyros, and 50 km away from Thessaloniki. It is an ideal place to stop for tourists who visit Agion Oros, Cholomon Mountain and other destinations of mountainous Chalkidiki.
The residents of the village are involved in agriculture, cattle-breeding, tourism and of course traditional Souvlaki. In the long history of the village, the residents have preserved many important customs such as the feast in the chapel
of Agios Prodromos on 28-29 August, in which for years now thousands of faithful visitors have been gathering from all the villages around, but also from Thessaloniki.
The picturesque place where Agios Prodromos was built, with the “cool” river of Resetnikia crossing the village, the traditional houses and the renovated church of Kimisi tis Theotokou is the reason why this place is a tourist attraction for many.
