Neos Marmaras is the primary commercial and social hub of the Sithonia peninsula, founded in 1922 by refugees from the Sea of Marmara. The town is uniquely situated on three pine-covered hills, blending traditional Macedonian architecture with modern tourist infrastructure. It sits adjacent to the expansive Porto Carras Grand Resort, home to one of Greece's largest private vineyards and a world-class marina. Travelers are drawn to its Blue Flag beaches, including the sandy Paradisos Beach and the bustling municipal shore. A short drive uphill leads to the traditional village of Parthenonas, offering a glimpse into local history and panoramic views of the Toroneos Gulf. The waterfront is lined with traditional fish tavernas and modern bars, creating a lively atmosphere after sunset. Visitors can rent boats to explore the nearby 'Turtle Island' (Kelyfos) or hike through the surrounding olive groves. The local economy thrives on tourism, olive oil production, and the famous Sithonian honey.
