Location

The property is located on the first peninsula of Chalkidiki, Kassandra, in the picturesque village of Nea Potidea. Nea Potidea is the natural bridge between Thessaloniki and Chalkidiki and is famous for its charming village streets, its variety of traditional restaurants and tavernas, local shops and magnificent sunsets.

The tourist centre of Nea Moudania is around 7 km from the suites, Sani Beach is approximately 16 km away, and Thessaloniki Airport is about 58 km away.

The main attraction of Nea Potidea is the canal that connects the two gulfs, Thermaikos and Toroneos, making navigation easier. The magnificent view from the bridge appeals to all kinds of visitors.

Visitors soon discover that the Kassandra peninsula was known in ancient times as the “Doors of Kassandra” and today feels almost like an island, whose “gates” are guarded by the picturesque town of Nea Potidea.

Beaches

Nea Potidea is a large coastal village in Chalkidiki. Both the western and eastern sides of Potidea face the sea.

The beach on the east coast, overlooking Toroneos Bay and the Sithonia peninsula, is well organized and offers a range of activities such as diving, swimming, tennis and water sports. Along the coastline, you will find many beach bars, tavernas and interesting places to visit.

The turquoise sea is truly marvelous, with beautiful golden sandy beaches. The crystal-clear, shallow waters are ideal for both swimmers and families with young children. The beach is awarded annually with a Blue Flag eco-label for its clean waters and sandy shore.

On the western side of Nea Potidea, by the Thermaikos Gulf, you can enjoy stunning views of Mount Olympus, the azure blue sea and colorful sunsets. While walking along the shore, you will come across small bays with lovely beaches, as well as a quaint harbor where fishermen tie up their boats and unload their daily catch.

During the summer, the seaside resort of Nea Potidea and its white sandy beaches offer the perfect balance between a vibrant atmosphere and laid-back relaxation. It becomes a cosmopolitan destination where Greek and foreign visitors, families with children, groups of friends and couples enjoy the sun and the sea, creating unforgettable memories.

You can sunbathe, swim, take part in different beach and water sports activities, or explore the area and enjoy some of Chalkidiki’s excellent restaurants and tavernas.

Nea Potidea Landmarks

Nea Potidea is a unique historical town and one of the most distinctive entrances to the Kassandra peninsula. Thanks to its location, it is an ideal starting point for excursions in the wider area.

Start your sightseeing tour at the entrance of Chalkidiki, in Nea Potidea, and visit the impressive Potidea Canal and the Justinian Wall. Part of this fortification wall, built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian to protect ancient Potidea and Kassandra from attacks, has survived to this day.

There are many interesting places to visit in Nea Potidea and its surroundings, including the Church of St. George in the centre of the village and the Church of the Taxiarches, which dates back to 1591 and is under the authority of Mount Athos.

South of Nea Potidea, on a wooded hill, there is a monument in honor of the victims of the 1821 catastrophe. The ruins of the ancient castle and some bastions are also of great interest.

You can also explore many important archaeological and historical sights of Kassandra, such as the Tower of St. Paul in Nea Fokea, Lake Mavrobara with its turtles near Polychrono, the lighthouse in Poseidi and the ancient site of Mendi in Kalandra.

Moreover, the Petralona Cave is certainly worth a visit, as is the Museum of Fishing Vessels and Instruments in Nea Moudania. Ancient Olynthus and the many beautiful beaches of the area are also well worth exploring.

You may also visit the marble statue of Aristotle, built in memory of the great philosopher who was born in the nearby town of Stageira.
