Toroni ( Greek Τορώνη ( f. Sg. ); Official name Dimotiki Enotita Toronis Δημοτική Ενότητα Τορώνης) is the southern municipality of the municipality of Sithonia on the Chalkidiki peninsula in the Greek region of Central Macedonia . From 1997 to 2010 Toroni was an independent municipality with the administrative center in the village of Sykia. The municipalities of Sarti , which were independent until 1997, with the village of Toroni and Sykia , now form localities. The name Toroni was chosen based on the ancient city of Toroni, whose rulership temporarily corresponded to the current municipal area.
