It is located in the south-eastern part of Chalkidiki (approximately 110 km south-east of Thessaloniki), built on the coast of Siggitikos Bay (part of the Aegean Sea).

The central church of the village is dedicated to Panagia and celebrated every year on the eighth of September.

During the Byzantine era, the village was mentioned by its current name.

After the Greco-Turkish War, many refugees from the village of Afthoni (located on the Marmara Island) relocated to Pyrgadikia.

The village includes a very inviting Plaka area where tourists dine and relax.
