Stratonicea or Stratonikeia (Ancient Greek: Στρατονίκεια), also Stratoniki or Stratonice (Στρατονίκη), was a town of Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia. It was a Hellenistic foundation on the west coast of the Akte peninsula (now Mount Athos), a few kilometers northwest of Cleonae. According to Claudius Ptolemy, the city was located on the Singitic Gulf.[1]
Its site is unlocated.[2]
