Halkios was always characterized as "Kefalochori" (=rich and big village), with a rich agricultural production of cereals, crops, gardening products, citrus trees, olive oil, almonds, and the famous beans from Halkios. There was a production of wine and tobacco in the past, but not anymore. The Town Hall is located on the main external road of Halkios, since it is in the center of the Municipality of Kampochora. The Municipal School Center, on the main external road of Halkios which is at the place of the old Fliskion School for Girls, is a five-teacher-school. Students from other villages of the Municipality also study in this school, except for the ones from Ververato and Vavili that have their own single-teacher schools. The Nursery School of Kampochora is also located in Halkios, and it is housed under the rooms of the Town Hall. |
