History
The history of Polychrono begins when Eretries came in the peninsula of Kassandra and founded the "Neapoli" (New city). In 540 AD. the village was totally destroyed by the Ounous. During the 11th century farmer-breeders were living in this region and they build the village "Polichroo". It was named like this because of the many colored flowers. During the revolution of 1821 AD. it was completely destroyed by Turkish. Some years later a few survivors that had resorted elsewhere build the village again. They named it Polychrono.
