Nea Fokaia

Nea Fokaia is a picturesque seaside village on the eastern coast of Kassandra, with a lively fishing harbour. It was founded by refugees from Foça (Fokaia) in Asia Minor in 1922, a heritage still alive in its culture and cuisine.

The Tower of Agios Pavlos

The village's landmark is the Byzantine Tower of Agios Pavlos by the harbour — a medieval monastic fortress (metochi) that gives Nea Fokaia a special historical flavour.

Beaches and harbour

The picturesque little harbour with its fishing boats is the heart of the village. Nearby are beautiful shores such as Varkes, Kavouri and Afytos beach.

Food and life

In the harbour's fish tavernas you'll enjoy ultra-fresh fish and seafood, while the cafés and bars offer relaxed evenings with a sea view.

Getting there and around

It's about 1.5 hours by car from Thessaloniki. Very close are traditional Afytos, Kallithea and Nea Potidaia.

Who it suits and when

Ideal for families and couples wanting a picturesque fishing village with history, good food and easy access. Main season is May–September.
