The day combines a visit to the famous Petralona Cave and the adjacent anthropological museum with a stop in the center of Nea Moudania and a scenic finish at the Nea Potidea canal. The order reduces transfers: you start inland and head toward the coast, with short drives between stops. The itinerary leaves time for a lunch break and relaxed walks, without requiring rushed visits. Opening hours, admission fees and opening days are indicative and may change depending on the season and day of the week.

Discover the main historical highlights of Nea Propontida and end the day by the sea.
10:00
Petralona Cave
Allow about 60–75 minutes for the cave, famous for its limestone formations and the prehistoric finds discovered inside. The route is indoors in a cool environment and includes sections with stairs and uneven flooring; admission may cost approximately €5–€10, depending on rates and the season.
Check opening hours and tour availability in advance: they may vary throughout the year.
11:20
Anthropological Museum of Petralona
A few minutes from the cave, the museum displays finds and materials that illustrate the region's prehistory and the discovery of the site. Allow about 30–45 minutes; access may be included in the combined ticket or have an overall indicative cost of €5–€10 for the complex.
Check whether the cave ticket also includes the museum.
12:15
Transfer to Nea Moudania
Drive to Nea Moudania: the trip from Petralona usually takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic and your starting point. Park in the central area and continue on foot toward the church and the waterfront.
In high season, allow a few extra minutes to find parking.
12:50
Lunch in the center of Nea Moudania
Stop at a taverna in the center or near the port to sample fish, Greek salads, and daily specials. For a simple meal, expect roughly €12–€25 per person, drinks not included; prices can be higher in waterfront places.
Ask the price of the fish by weight before ordering.
14:15
Ιερός Ναός Παναγίας Κορυφινής
Head to the church of Panagia Korifini, a religious and scenic landmark of Nea Moudania. Allow about 30–40 minutes to visit the exterior and, if accessible and respecting services, the interior; admission is generally free.
To enter, wear respectful clothing and check that the church is open.
15:15
Stroll to the port of Nea Moudania
Head down to the port and walk along the waterfront, taking in the boats and the town’s everyday life. This is a free stop, and you can spend 45–60 minutes here, with an estimated coffee break of €2–€5.
The waterfront is also pleasant in the late afternoon, when the sun is less intense.
17:00
Nea Potidea Canal
Continue by car for about 15–20 minutes to the canal that separates the Kassandra peninsula from the mainland. Walk in the accessible spots along the banks and watch the boats pass by; the visit is free and takes about 45 minutes.
Be careful with traffic and do not stop in places that obstruct circulation.
18:00
Free time on the coastline of Nea Potidea
Wrap up with a walk along the waterfront or a stop at the beach, choosing an accessible stretch near the town. A parasol and sunbeds, if needed, can cost roughly €10–€25, while public beaches are generally free.
Bring water and sunscreen, especially in the summer months.
