Sarti Sithonia

Sarti is located on the east coast of Sithonia. It was named after the ancient city of Sarti, which was probably located in the same area. The name Sarti can be found in the writings of Herodotus as a city-station of Xerxes' expeditionary forces.

Ancient Sarti was a member of the Athenian Alliance. Important ruins of the ancient city are located above the gulf of Sykia. It is not known when or why the city was destroyed.
