'''Chalkidikí''' or '''Chalcidice''' (in [[Greek language|Greek]]: Χαλκιδική, alternative romanizations ''Khalkidhikí'' and ''Halkidiki'') is one of the fifty-one [[prefecture]]s of [[Greece]]. It is located in the southeastern portion of [[Macedonia]]. The [[Cholomontas]] mountains lie in the northcentral part. It consists of a large peninsula in the northwestern [[Aegean Sea]], resembling a hand with three "fingers" (Pallene (now [[Kassandra (Greece)|Kassandra]]), [[Sithonia]], and [[Mount Athos|Athos]]). The monasteries of [[Mount Athos]] are located on the easternmost "finger".

In ancient times, Chalcidice was part of [[Thrace]] until conquered by [[Macedonia|Macedon]]. The first Greek settlers in this area came from [[Chalcis]] (the area around Chalcis was also known as Chalcidice) and [[Eretria]], cities in [[Euboea]], around the [[8th century BC]] who founded cities such as [[Mende]], [[Torone]] and [[Scione]], a second wave came from [[Andros]] in the [[6th century BC]]. The ancient city of [[Stageira]] was the birthplace of [[Aristotle]].

Capital of Chalcidice is the city of [[Polygyros]], located in the center of the peninsula.

In June [[2003]], at the hotel Porto Carras located in Neos Marmaras, Sithonia, [[European Union]] leaders created the first draft of the European constitution.

The only prefectural boundary is with the [[Thessaloniki prefecture]] located to the north.
