The village of Possidi is at the west side of Kassandra peninsula. It owes its name to the god Poseidon, the god of the sea. The ruins of the ancient sanctuary dedicated to God Poseidon are very close to the village. Although there is nothing worth seeing in the ruins, since there was no serious excavation project for the sanctuary, the area is very much worth visiting because of the headland and the lighthouse.

One of themost beautiful and picturesque spots in Cassandra peninsula is the bay of Glarokavos (In Greek it means the bay of seagulls). Glarokavos is a natural bay in the south-east part of Cassandra where most of the local fishermen dock their boats. The area is beautiful and full of pine trees that reach the sandy beaches next to the bay. The place is known as a place where free campers can find a lot of spots with shade next to the sea to set up their tents.

This suggested trip offers you two beautiful spots for sightseeing. The first is one of the two oldest olive trees in the Cassandra peninsula, which happens to be in an olive grove that belongs to my family. You will be amazed by the olive tree’s size – it has been reported to be more than 400 years old. The second spot is Lake Mavrobara, a small lake full of turtles in the hills above the village of Polichrono.
