Ierissos is located at the Northeast side of the coast of the eastern peninsula of Chalkidiki, at the place of the ancient city of Akanthos. According to archeological - historical data, the year Ierissos was founded is 655 B.C. The first historical data from the end of the 6^th century, associate Ierissos to the Persian Wars. As a free City, Ierissos was part of the Athenian League and of the Spartan League later on. At the beginning of the 4^th century B.C and at period of great rise, Ierissos revolted and never entered the Chalkidicean League. In 348 B.C. the Macedonians conquered Ierissos without destroying it. Later she was unified with the area of Ouranopolis. Around 200 B.C., the Romans, who wanted to take advantage of the natural wealth sources of the area and its port, sieged Akanthos. The life in ancient Akanthos seems to continue peacefully through the Byzantine years until the present years, where it gave place to the modern town of Ierissos, which is the eldest and biggest town of the area with more than 3000 inhabitants.
