Nea Kallikratia or Nea Kallikrateia is a fairly large coastal town with about 5,500 inwonders. Actually it consists of three villages that have been merged: Nea Kallikratia, Agios Pavlos and Nea Iraklia. The city is located in the northwest of the Halkidiki area about 50 kilometers away from Thessaloniki and 45 kilometers west of Polygiros. Like many other villages in the area, Nea Kallikratia had its beginning when refugees settled here in 1922. They came from the city of Kallikrateia in Thrace (a region on the border west of Turkey, which historically bordered on Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece). Nea Kallikratia was in the Turkish area that lies on the European continent.

Nea Kallikratia has a large sandy beach which is called Kyani Akti beach, and you can find facilities like sunbeds and umbrellas here. The sea at the long wide beach of Nea Kallikratia is shallow and normally there is only small waves, making it also suitable for families with small children. Around the beach you will find many bars, restaurants and accommodations. In the large village / town itself is a selection of shops, supermarkets and other facilities for the tourists. There is also a post office and medical assistance and there is some nightlife in Nea Kallikratia. There are many fields of grapes in the area and a lot of wine is produced here. The city has an extensive fishing fleet.

It is said that Nea Kallikratia was already inhabited in prehistoric times, but excavations have never been that. A tombstone was found dating from the 5th century BC, with a pediment with the image of a young woman with a dove on her arm. This tombstone is now on display in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. Also a Byzantine silver relic box from the fourth or fifth century with carved representations of the Old and New Testaments on the four sides, which was found in the area of Nea Iraklia, can be seen in this museum.

Just outside Nea Kallikratia, about 5 kilometers north at Nea Gonia, lies the acropolis of Antigonia, which was built in 285 BC by king Antigonus Gonata of Macedonia in this naturally well-protected place. Soon the city expanded and became an important place. In 168 BC the city was besieged by the Romans. Also in the 14th century Antigonia was still mentioned, and at that time it was split into two parts: a lower and an upper village.
