The northeastern side of Halkidiki has a long history which is mostly marked by the involvement of the inhabitants in the mining activity. More than 300 wells and approximately 200,000 square meters of ancient metallurgical waste are preserved in the area, commonly known as “skouria” (rust) from the overheating of minerals in furnaces that prove this fact.
