Neos Marmaras

Small waterfront town on the Sithonia peninsula in Chalkidiki, Neos Marmaras has a café and restaurant scene that punches well above its size, particularly in summer when the population swells dramatically. The Porto Carras marina hosts hundreds of boats year-round, and the town sits between two mountains and the sea. Founded in 1922 by settlers from Marmara Island in Turkey, its economy runs on tourism, fishing, and agriculture — olives, wine, and honey.
