Many historical sources manly Byzantine, speak about Parthenona
from the 10th century ac. The village is also mentioned as Parthenopolis,
Partheni, Parthenionas… It is always placed on Loggo, the peninsula
of Sithonia (somewhere near Toroni), without specifying its exact
position. All modern studies tend to believe the aspect that the
old, Byzantine Parthenonas and the Parthenona of today, meaning
the one that was under Turkish influence, are not situated in
the same spot. Never the less the ancient town Parthenopoli must
have been close to the present village. Its rare architectural
and housing formation which keeps the resemblance of a village
of the past century, attracts the attention of the known and unknown
travelers. Today in Parthenona you will find taverns, guest's
rooms, while the stone around the old church (old social center
of Parthenona) is restored with fidelity.
