According to a legend, a small resort town of Mola Kaliva, which is located in the southern part of the west coast of peninsula Kassandra and 6 kilometres from village Kassandrinu, acquired its title from the name of a monastery watchman called Molas who lived here in a tiny hut (Kaliva). According to the habit of local residents, a phrase had developed as “to the hut of Molas” (stu Mola Kaliva tin), which was then secured as a modern place name – Mola Kaliva.
