Cholomontas mountain - Chalkidiki Greece
02 January 2008
The dense vegetation of Mt Cholomontas, its rich fauna and the sublime view that its wonderful landscapes boast are particularly appreciated by alternative tourism and agrotourism lovers. Lushly greened with pines, firs, chestnuts and age-long oaks, the mountain is traversed by many brooks and abounds in springs with crystal-clear cool water. White-clad in winter and offering sweet, refreshing air in summer, the unpolluted massif of Cholomontas stretches all over the subprefectures of Arnaia and Polygyros.
It is worth your while to explore the slopes of this mountain, arrive to the hospitable mountain village of Taxiarchis and experience a different contact with nature. Mt Cholomontas will come as a great revelation to all those who have believed so far that Chalkidiki is only renowned for its coasts.
