 The lighthouse of Possidi in Halkidiki: At the end of Possidi beach, there stands a charming old lighthouse. Built in 1864, the lighthouse stood very near to the water in its early days but now the sea has backed away. The sand stretch was formed later from piling up of sediments. This colonial styled lighthouse is still in use today and has a small flowery garden besides it, adding to its beauty.
Tall pine trees line behind the classic whitewashed structure which sits solemnly on the edge of the beach. The lighthouse is the only building along the beach of Possidi. Near the lighthouse, there are the ruins of the ancient temple of Poseidon, while 1 km to the west, the beautiful church of Virgin Mary is found, built in 1619. |
