Chalcidice

Ancient name of the three-pronged peninsula of Macedonia. The promontories from west to east were called Pallene, Sithonia, and Acte.

The region was heavily colonized by Chalcis in Euboea in the 8th century BC. Among the principal towns were Olynthus, Potidaea, and Stagira (the birthplace of the philosopher Aristotle).
