Nea Moudania Holiday
Nea Moudania existed as a humble fishing village until 1923 when it was resettled by Greeks from Asia Minor. Attracted by the white beaches, pine studded promontories and a vast olive plantation that is still producing today, the area soon burgeoned into a well-equipped resort with a commercial fishing harbour and a welcoming atmosphere.
Beaches
The waters of Nea Moudania are very shallow and ideal for younger and inexperienced swimmers. The beaches are well-maintained with cafés lining the powdery sand. After a morning of sun worship, seek shade beneath a parasol and indulge in a chilled drink and a soft ice-cream.
Shopping
As the commercial centre of Halkidiki, Nea Moudania offers plenty of shops in which to spend your euro. Every Wednesday, the largest outdoor market in the area takes place. Olive, apricot and peanut produce are on sale, yielded from the surrounding groves.
Nightlife
There are plenty of bars and clubs to keep you entertained until the small hours. The town also has a cinema and a waterfront open-air theatre showing quality productions throughout the summer.
Local Specialities
Coffee houses, restaurants and tavernas abound, with menus designed to appeal to most palettes. The best fish restaurants can be discovered by the beach and are definitely worth a visit. Ask the waiter for the catch of the day and you'll be rewarded with a fresh, juicy fish dish served with locally-produced vegetables, cooked to a traditional Greek recipe.
