Possidi is one of the jost well known tourist summer resorts in Halkidiki.  It is found on the south west side of Kassandra peninsula and is 105 km. away from Thessaloniki.  A particular characteristic is the wonderful view offered of the coastal Thermaikos gulf which is the waters where it is situated.  If it is windy and the atjosphere is clear,  you can see the graphic mountain tops of Pilio and the islands of northern Sporades.  Its name comes from god Poseidon, to whom it is devoted.
