Nea Potidea lies at the narrowest point of the Kassandra peninsula and is one of Halkidiki’s most strategically located seaside settlements.

The nearby canal, which separates the Kassandra peninsula from the mainland, gives Nea Potidea a distinctive appearance and a landscape that sets it apart from other settlements in the area.
