Nea Peramos is a small but well-organized resort. It is located 18km before Kavala, coming from the direction of Thessaloniki. It offers a great view of the island of Thasos and Mount Athos, and right next to it, just a few minutes away, is the most beautiful beach in northern Greece - Amolofi, making it an excellent place to stay and a great starting point for exploring interesting places and beaches in the area.
- The place is lively and has enough activities to keep you entertained.
- There are not many hotels and villas for rent, and they quickly fill up, so if you find suitable accommodation, do not hesitate.
Town Beach
The beach in this resort is very beautiful, long, and sandy. We really liked it. It is a bit narrow, with gradual depth, and mostly organized. It is clean and beautiful enough to spend time on it without the need to drive around in the hot sun.
- Along the beach, there is a promenade with lots of greenery, parks, as well as cafes and taverns with lovely gardens.
For lovers of wild beaches and diving
- Between Nea Peramos and Amolofi beach, there is the Vrasida Peninsula which has many small wild coves interesting for diving and seclusion. The coves are mostly rocky, except for one with fine sand, where there are many campers.
Peramos is a resort that offers the possibility of a lovely family vacation and is fully equipped with everything you need.
- There are plenty of shops and supermarkets, Masoutis, Guncidis, and Smart Market on the main street. (Lidl is located in the neighboring town of Nea Iraklitsa, a 5-6 minute drive from Peramos).
- If needed, there is Piraeus Bank with an ATM.
- There are medical offices (pediatrician, general practitioner, and physiotherapist), as well as a dentist, and three pharmacies.
- There is also a laundry service so you don’t have to worry about that.
In short, they have everything you need for a peaceful and carefree vacation.
- In the center of Peramos, there is a large playground for children overlooking the sea, surrounded by palm trees, benches for sitting, and taverns. A very pleasant place for evenings with children.
- There is also a small amusement park with claw machines, punching bags, and other toys that will keep the little ones entertained in the evening. Bring your wallet :)
There are numerous restaurants, taverns, fast-food restaurants for gyro lovers, cafes, and bakeries for traditional Greek pastries, and of course - bougatsa.
- We especially like the confectionery Elit from 1972. It is very nicely decorated. It offers ice creams and a large variety of sweets. It is spacious with plenty of seating (right up to the sea) to enjoy the treats.
The population, among other things, is engaged in agriculture, so in Nea Peramos, you can buy excellent homemade wine and olive oil.
The biggest advantage of Nea Peramos is the proximity to Amolofi beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in northern Greece.
- It is about 3km away from the center of Peramos, less than a 5-minute drive by car.

Trivia from the long history of Nea Peramos
Nea Peramos today has a total of about 2500 inhabitants. The residents are mainly refugees from Asia Minor. In 1915, the Turks burned the Greek village of Peramos in order to cleanse Turkey of Hellenism. Soon after, an agreement on the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey was signed. The first refugees arrived at the site of present-day Nea Peramos in 1923, and by 1928, the municipality of Nea Peramos was founded, which has been rapidly developing since its establishment.
The history of Nea Peramos dates back to the 7th century BC, when the Tasićani settled on Mount Isimi to exploit the gold ore from Mount Pangeo. Today, there are remains of the old city where they lived that can be visited. In the western part of Nea Peramos, on a low hill, are the remains of the Byzantine castle and the city of Anaktropoli, which was conquered by Emperor Dušan, and in World War II by the Bulgarians. From this hill, there is a very nice view of the famous beach of Amolofi, as well as Nea Peramos and the former port of the Greek navy.
