Calcidica è una terra situata nella parte settentrionale della Grecia e ha giocato un ruolo vitale nella storia di tutto il paese. Nel 348 a.C., Calcidica divenne parte del regno macedone, sotto il controllo di Filippo. Dopo la fine delle guerre tra macedoni e romani, la regione divenne parte dell’Impero romano, insieme al resto della Grecia. Alla fine della Repubblica Romana, una colonia romana fu stabilita a Cassandreia, che fu in seguito reinsediata da Augusto. Pertanto, nella zona di Calcidica, troverete una grande varietà di monumenti e chiese bizantine.
