Agriculture[edit]
The peninsula is notable for its olive oil and olive production. Also various types of wine are produced.
Tourism[edit]
Chalkidiki has been a popular summer tourist destination since the late 1950s when people from Thessaloniki started spending their summer holidays in the coastal villages. In the beginning tourists rented rooms in the houses of locals. By the 1960s, tourists from Austria and Germany started to visit Chalkidiki more frequently. Since the start of the big tourist boom in the 1970s, the whole region has been captured by tourism.[7] In the region there is a golf course and there is a plan for other four in the future.
Mining[edit]
Gold was mined in the region during antiquity by Philip II of Macedon and the next rulers. Since 2013, a revival of mining for gold and other minerals was underway with a number of concessions having been granted to Eldorado Gold of Canada. However, critics claim that mining would adversely affect tourism and the environment.[8]
Administration[edit]
The regional unit Chalkidiki is subdivided into five municipalities. These are (number as in the map in the infobox):[9]
Aristotelis (2)
Kassandra (4)
Nea Propontida (3)
Polygyros (1)
Sithonia (5)
Prefecture[edit]
As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Chalkidiki was created out of the former prefecture Chalkidiki (Greek: Νομός Χαλκιδικής). The prefecture had the same territory as the present regional unit. At the same time, the municipalities were reorganised, according to the table below.[9]

Υπάρχει ένα μέρος στην Ελλάδα που μοιάζει με το Μαϊάμι και τα Keys της Florida: Τεχνητά κανάλια διατρέχουν τις πίσω αυλές των σπιτιών, όπου οι ιδιοκτήτες πηγαίνουν όχι με το αυτοκίνητο, αλλά με το σκάφος τους, μεγάλοι φοίνικες και εξωτικά φυτά, πισίνες και μια απέραντη παραλία. Στο φόντο, η Ύδρα. Αυτό είναι το πανέμορφο Porto Hydra Village, το Μαϊάμι της Ελλάδας. Απολαύστε την πτήση!|
There is a place in Greece like Miami and Florida Keys: Artificial channels are at the back yards of homes and the owners move by boat, not by car. The scenery is enhanced by tall palm trees and exotic plants, swimming pools and a vast beach. In the background, the island of Hydra. This is the beautiful Porto Hydra Village, the Miami in Greece. Enjoy the flight! |
