History of the place
Who can resist the allure of Toroni. The one attraction that Toroni has is what no one else in Sithonia can claim – a castle! Well at least the ruins of one. This medieval fortress on the Likythos promontory was destroyed in the 15th century. It truly makes a spectacular backdrop to the Toroni harbour.
Further up the mountain towards Porto Koufo you can still find some ruins from the ancient city Torone. Porto Koufo is the largest natural harbor in Greece (in depth). The harbor was mentioned by the historian Thucydides. German submarines used it during World War II because of its geographical location and direct access to the Aegean Sea.
