Mount Cholomon, Mountain summit in Central Macedonia, Greece
Mount Cholomon rises to 1,165 meters above sea level, forming the highest elevation point across the Chalkidiki region with dense oak forest coverage.
Ancient Greeks identified this geographical landmark as Ypsison, establishing its presence in classical texts and regional mapping throughout Mediterranean civilization.
The mountain's dense forests influence local traditions through seasonal gatherings where communities collect herbs and mushrooms according to inherited knowledge.
The mountain's network of trails begins near Taxiarchis village, located 7 kilometers from the central area, providing access points for nature observation.
Mount Cholomon spreads across central and eastern Chalkidiki, creating a natural barrier that shapes the peninsula's distinct geographical sections.
