Toroni is a town in the south-west of Sithonia which dates back to antique times. During its history it had been reigned interchangeably by several kingdoms, from Persians to Greeks, and then by Byzantium and Turks, and it was reigned again by Greece at the beginning of 20th century. The antique Toroni was considerably damaged in 1903 when Turks used granite rocks from their constructs for getting the roads done between Thessaloniki and Istanbul. It is a very interesting fact that some parts of the old town are now sunken and are 35m away from the coast. The modern Toroni is 1km away in the north from the remaining of the old town and it has about 4000 settlers.

Toroni is a small town and one of the best destinations for families, especially with small children. A big sandy beach, a shoal, playgrounds for children on the very beach is a great combination for them.
