Fishing Boats & Tools Museum

The Museum of Fishing Boats and Tools is in Nea Moudania, a town with a long fishing tradition and one of the most important fishing fleets in northern Greece. It's dedicated to the life of Halkidiki's fishermen and to the boats and gear they worked with.

In the collection you'll see traditional wooden boats, like those built in the area's boatyards, along with nets, longlines, fish traps and the lamps used for night fishing with light. Photographs and everyday objects from harbour life complete the picture of a trade that changed completely within a few decades.

It's a good choice for families with children and for a day of bad weather. A visit takes about an hour. As opening hours vary with the season, confirm them before you go. Afterwards, a stroll around Nea Moudania harbour, where the fishing boats still tie up, shows how the same work carries on today.
