Vatopedi, Sithonia Halkidiki

Vatopedi is the settlement of those refugees who came from Near East and settled in the village after the Near East Ruin.

It is built of a hill on the east coast of the Havria river, at a distance of only 5 km from Ormylia.It owes its name to the fact that the settlement of the refugees was made on the property of the Batopedi Monastery of Mount Athos, which was then expropriated.

Since 1971 the settlement was a independent community.
