Nea Triglia is widely known for its vineyards and wine — viticulture and winemaking are deeply rooted in its Asia Minor heritage, with local wineries worth visiting. The village preserves refugee traditions, beautiful churches and a lively, welcoming community.
Although built slightly inland from the coast, it's very close to the Moudania beaches, such as Plagia–Flogita and Vergia, with shallow water ideal for families with children.
In its tavernas you'll taste local wine, traditional dishes with Asia Minor influences and countryside produce — an authentic gastronomic experience.
It's only ~40 minutes by car from Thessaloniki. Nearby are Nea Moudania, Sozopoli and ancient Olynthos.
Ideal for those wanting to combine nearby sea with wine tourism and authentic refugee culture. Worth visiting year-round, peaking in summer.
