Almost every village in Halkidiki celebrate their natural bounty with feasts: in Nikiti for honey, in Nea Moudania for sardines, in Metaggitsi for olive oil, in Taxiarchis for mushrooms, in Porto Koufo for tuna, in Olympiada for mussels, Raki (tsipouro) in Vrastama.

These "panigiria" -as the locals call them- are usually a combination of party, church fair and relegious celebration where the locals eirther are celebrating on the occasion of the name day of the saint or just express their thanks to the saints that grant them protection.
