In an alternative route, an “open-air museum” will be organized, which will include some important findings of the prehistoric and classical period, giving details of the historical route in Halkidiki, from the Paleolithic to the post-Byzantine period. On the ruins of a damp building, there is a refreshment, incorporating a modern construction. In the new building blocks will be housed a shop, a restaurant, while an open-air amphitheatre will be formed, aiming at hosting events regardless of the time of the complex.

History:

The first clear reference to the old metropolitan of New Fliyotes of the monastery of Saint Panteleimon dates back to 1311. However, the existing buildings – Paleo, Central and Solo – date from 1853 to 1909. A station in the modern history of the band was the 1920s, when the American Red Cross Hospital was established, with the Main Building being the main building block. During World War II, the band was transformed into the seat of the occupying forces, and in 1960, after a devastating fire, it was abandoned. In 1999 the complex became the property of the Ministry of Culture and the 10th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities.

Today, the monumental complex, occupying an area of ​​27 acres, consists of a complex of two buildings of the original core (Central and Old Building), a regional (Solo Building), and various other facilities.
