Nea Potidea
Nea Potidea was founded in 1922 by refugees from eastern Thrace on the site of ancient Potidea or Pallini. It is the village entering to Kassandra impressing the driver while he passes the bridge over the canal where the Thermaikos and Toroneos gulfs are combined together.
The history of Nea Potidea goes back to the early 17th century when it was still a Corinthian colony. The position of this place was very strategic in the ancient years. The today's village was founded in 1922 by the refugees from the East Thrace.
Nea Potidea is a beautiful place for holidays with many resorts and an important harbor. There are many hotels, rooms and apartments for the visitor's accommodation as well as many restaurants, taverns, super markets, and several shops. In the village live around 900 inhabitants and it is only 33 km south-west of Poligiros.
It is worth to visit the remains of the castle which the rebellious islanders barricaded themselves inside of in 1821. The church of the Taxiarches, which was founded in
1591 which is dependent on the Mount Athos and also the Dochiarion Monastery are important sightseeing for the visitors.
I shot this image through the bus window 3 weeks ago, while traveling from Berlin to Saloniki...Must be somewhere in Former Yugoslavia and I had realy this feeling to be in nowhere ( typically means a place that doesn't exist or a place that seems like it doesn't exist.)land...
Even in Germany where the people are very careful in pollution matters is always possible to see this sad picture... 
Not far from home there is a wonderful lake called Litzensee, there are several wonderful buildings around this lake, one of them is the one I ve captured.
