Nea Skioni is a small and relatively young fishing village on the Kassandra peninsula. One of its main attractions is the artificial lagoon, which serves as a harbor for fishing boats and yachts. Unlike many other bays on the peninsula, mooring here is free of charge.
Strolling along the lagoon’s promenade is a favorite activity for both locals and tourists. The waterfront is lined with cozy cafes and restaurants offering fresh seafood, delivered straight from the temporary market at the port.
After a walk along the promenade, you can head to the local beach located to the left of the port. The beach consistently earns the "Blue Flag" certification for cleanliness and safety. Unlike the more crowded beaches on the peninsula, this spot offers plenty of space and tranquility. Local shops provide basic beach essentials, but for larger purchases, it’s better to visit nearby towns.
For those seeking active leisure, a seasonal water sports center operates in the area. Activities include windsurfing, canoeing, jet skiing, and pedal boat rides. You can also rent a boat for coastal excursions or fishing trips.
Just a few kilometers from the village, you’ll find the Panagia Faneromeni Church, built in the 16th century. This historic site is well-known in the region and houses a stone featuring the image of the Virgin Mary.
Nea Skioni’s fishing traditions make it a perfect destination for seafood lovers. Every morning and evening, fresh catches are available at the port market. For those who prefer dining out, local tavernas serve Mediterranean cuisine dishes. One of the popular spots is Aggirovoli Seafood Restaurant, where the average cost of a meal is around €20 per person.
