The village of Pyrgadikia is a small fishing village with just over 300 inhabitants, located on the coast between the Sithonia peninsula and the Athos peninsula, in the area of Halkidiki. The distance to Thessaloniki is about 110 kilometers. The village is relatively unknown and is visited by few tourists. There are a number of accommodations in Pyrgadikia, but the supply is limited. Pyrgadikia is on a hill on a peninsula and is built like an amphitheatre. It overlooks the Athos peninsula.
Pyrgadikia in itself is a village and beach just outside the village you will find on both sides of even more beaches. The most famous of these is probably Kambos Beach, a sandy beach, 1 km long and 20 to 30 meters wide.
The area of Pyrgadikia has long been inhabited since before the 6th century BC. According to the historian Herodotus the village gave military aid to the Persians during the Persian wars. The town of Stageira located just north of Pyrgadika, is also known as the birthplace of Aristotle. You can also find archaeological remains here.
For a long time the area of Pyrgadikia belonged to the Docheiariou monastery on Athos, that had its olive groves here. In 1922 the area was donated by the monastery to Greek refugees who came from Asia Minor. They settled in Pyrgadikia and founded the current modern village there. Interesting are the remains of the Byzantine walls that separated the Pyrgadikia peninsula from the rest of mainland of Halkidiki. It was during this Byzantine period that the village of Pyrgadikia got its present name.
