Abstract: Abstract Angelochori is a municipal unit of Thermaikos, a Municipality in Macedonia with coastlines of 52 km, two protected wetlands and a population with no real identity not only due to its villages’ intense regionalism but also due to the rapidly increasing population. Angelochori has operating salt ponds and the surrounding environment is quite interesting. The Salt Pond’s Guard House was left to ruin, but thanks to an idea by the President of the Educational Association of Angelochori, and in agreement with the Municipality, it has evolved into a flagship landmark (on the saltworks Α.Ε. website where their salt ponds’ location is on the Greek map; on Google, you will find the Guard’s house location; this doesn’t happen to their other facilities) and a meeting point for creative people from the surrounding area of Thessaloniki, amplifying the Municipality’s reputation.
