Kriopighi is a small village nestled on a hillside on the peninsula of Halkidiki. The village is situated in a natural amphitheater, one hundred meters above sea level. It is a stunningly beautiful place, quiet and secluded.
The name Kriopighi means "cold spring". And corresponds to the truth, as ice springs do indeed gush along the coast, cooling the warmed sea water with cold jets.
Kriopighi is immersed in greenery. Pine trees here descend directly to the coast, sheltering from the scorching sun beach, which stretches for 7 kilometers along the coast. Some of its corners are completely secluded and dispose to a romantic vacation.
Sam Kriopighi is a tangle of winding streets. The houses here are mostly old, preserving the memory of more than one century of past events. Perhaps, each of these buildings is a special monument of architecture.
There are thermal springs in Kriopighi. Their healing water will allow you not only to improve your health, but also to really relax, which is rarely possible in the hectic pace of life.
In general, Kriopighi spreads around itself an atmosphere of tranquility, inherent in many Greek cities. You will want to stay here longer to contemplate the sea and the green hills.

The "cold springs" of the ancient marketplace
The current name of the Greek resort translates as "cold spring" and fully justifies itself. After all, there are springs near the town and in the sea. The original name of the settlement of Pazarakia means "bazaars". And most likely, earlier there were various trading areas. Now it is a quiet resort town of a few dozen houses.
