Greece: Chalkidiki by Georges Meis

I have received beautiful panoramic postcard in cover made by Georges Meis.


This postcard was sent from Neos Marmaras. Neos Marmaras is a village on the Sithonia peninsula, in the Chalkidiki peninsula, Greece. In 2001, Neos Marmaras had 2,854 permanent residents; however, the summer-time population has been estimated at 20,000. The main industries are tourism, agriculture (olives, wine, and honey), and fishing. Situated on three shoreline hills, below the two mountains, Itamos and Tragoudeli (singing mountain), Neos Marmaras is located 125 kilometres from Thessaloniki, and 55 kilometres from Poligyro.

Stamp: The twelve months in folk art: August, issued on 2014-04-24.


Thank You Lana and Racko!
