Hellas  is a country in 

Southeast Europe.

Athens is the country's capital and largest city.

This country that occupies limited land space and has a small population does not only provide a wide range of remarkable tourist attractions, but also is indicative of great beauties, such as mountains, rivers for rafting,crystal clear sea water…

Moreover a great deal of fame is attributed to this country on the grounds of its significant architectural ancestry.

Loutraki

In a remote past, the area was characterized

by intense volcanic activity, which led to today’s

presence of mineral water springs. The rich healing

properties of the water flowing out from six

thermal springs are due to the steady

temperatures ranging from 30 to 37 degrees

Celsius throughout the year, as well as to

the water’s special chemical elements.

The attractions in our county

• Waterfalls in Edessa

• The Archaeological

Site at Pella and

Our home village: Kali

Kali

Kali is a village of Pella,whice is located a few kilometers away from Skydra. It is a rural village and its residents deal mainly with the cultivation and harvesting of agricultural products.

Kali

The City Meniidos took its name from the ancient city Meniida which was on the hill "Iron Gates", 3.5 kms north of Kali. The ancient city was built beside the river and next to Almopaio ancient roadcommunication of Lower Macedonia Almopia.

Eventually the village was found. The name of this Kalinitsa. The village was then inhabited by Turkish families and few indigenous locals and some families Vlach. Once Angelochorites arrived in their new village trying to find houses to set up their households. Then commandeered Turkish houses were built with bricks and after the Turks were forced to stay in a small part of the village, the rest occupied by Thracians. The local indigenous people then, which numbered about 20 families lived in a neighborhood in the southeastern edge of the village.

Our village got its present name in 1935. Until then called Kalinitsa. In 1922, followed the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey. The inhabitants were made to leave their homes in Minor Asia, Thrace and Pontos ( Black See ).

Residents of Aggelochori, a village in Eastern Thrace, boarded a ship and after a week's journey, they had a week stay at the port of Thessaloniki. After a few days stay there, they set off to Vertikop, today Skydra. Where they remained until they found the village to accommodate them.

A particularly striking feature of the inhabitants of our region, are the dances. From the first year of the relocation of our grandsire Kalinitsa, dances were held in the village square. In the place which is now the Church of the Holy Cross was a huge old tree. So the dances and all the events on days of celebration and not only given underneath this tree.

At the same coffee shop, remember, it arrived and the first radio in 1938.Until 1948 it was celebrated in our area and "Mandolin" where girls of the village playing mandolin in several events.
