Overview

Nea Moudania (Greek: Νέα Μουδανιά, Néa Moudaniá; often referred to as Moudania, the name of the municipal unit to which the town belongs, is the seat of the municipality of Nea Propontida, Chalkidiki, Greece. The town is 60 km south of Thessaloniki and is the financial and commercial center of Chalkidiki, as well as its most populous town. It was built after 1922 by Greek refugees from Asia Minor who wanted to give the settlement the name of their hometown, hence the addition of the word nea, which means new in Greek. Nea Moudania hosts the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture Technology of the Alexander Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki. The town's harbor serves as Thessaloniki's adjuvant.
