Chalkidiki Stageira and Arnea

Historical places

11/2017 During our holiday on Halkidiki in Greece we had rented a car for two days. On our first day we drove to the archaeological excavation in Stageira. This is supposed to be the birthplace of Artistoteles. From the coast, we continued into the mountains to the small village of Arnea. Arnea is well known for its old houses with wooden balconies.

On the way back to the hotel we got on a gravel road and came back on the right path only with detours in the mountains. As a reward, we found a beautiful old stone bridge in the middle of nowhere.
