I got a question from a fellow slovene some time ago on FB. He asks about Halkidiki and I cannot answer because I dont know what to answer but perhaps some of u can? And pls I am reposting his message in its entirety out of convenience and laziness and I am probably equally disturbed by the way he uses "slavic" as many of u are but...can u pls try and ignore that and perhaps have an answer to what he actually asks?
"as I was always interested in authentic culture, music, language and history ( like you LÖL ) I was always asking myself about the existence of slavic culture or traditions on Sithonia. Whereas its easy to find slavic vestiges all over Greece, the local languages for example the peleponnes also on the islands like Crete and Andros, it was very hard for me on Sithonia and Chalkidike in the centre of macedonia (!) just two toponymes that in some kind sound slavic. I know Chalkidike was rehelenized very early but I cannot believe in a nonexistence of slavic vestiges there ... maybe YOU KNOW MORE due to your special connections to this wonderful part of the world best regards ! (hope u understand my language"
Any ideas?
