In short: in Nei Pori it is worth seeing the southernmost beach of Pieria (almost 5 km, Blue Flag) with its shallow, calm sea; the resort sits right on the border of Pieria and Thessaly.
Nei Pori (Neoi Poroi) is the southernmost resort of the Olympic Riviera — a long sandy beach, a lively seaside promenade and a calm atmosphere at the foot of Olympus. It lies at the very end of Pieria, right next to medieval Platamon, so it combines a relaxed beach holiday with sights within easy reach. In this guide we go through the beach, the excursions and why Nei Pori is worth it.
Beaches in Nei Pori
The beach in Nei Pori is the southernmost beach of Pieria, almost five kilometres long, sandy and free of rocks, with fine sand and a shallow, calm sea — landscaped and holding a Blue Flag. The gradual entry and clear water make it safe for children, and along the shore run sun loungers, parasols and beach bars. In summer there are water sports too — from jet skis to pedal boats.
What to see in Nei Pori and nearby
Nei Pori is an excellent base, as both the beach and the sights of the Olympic Riviera are within easy reach.
The seaside promenade
Along the beach stretches a wide promenade full of restaurants, taverns, cafés and beach bars. A stroll by the sea with an evening coffee or dinner is the main rhythm of the place — calmer than in Paralia, but with everything you need for a pleasant holiday.
Platamon Castle
Just a few kilometres to the north is Platamon with its medieval crusader castle above the sea — reached from Nei Pori even on foot along the shore in about thirty minutes. From the walls opens a view of the whole riviera. In more detail in the guide what to see in Platamon.
Olympus, Dion and Litohoro
Above the riviera rises Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece and, by myth, the home of the gods, with trails in the national park. At its foot is ancient Dion, the sacred city of the ancient Macedonians dedicated to Zeus, and the main starting point for the ascent is nearby Litohoro — an easy excursion from Nei Pori for those who want nature and history along with the sea.
Nei Pori for families and with children
A long, shallow beach with fine sand and a gradual entry, free of rocks, makes Nei Pori one of the more suitable places for a holiday with children on the riviera. The calm atmosphere, affordable accommodation and facilities along the promenade suit families well.
Where to eat and evening outings
Along the promenade are taverns and cafés with fresh fish, seafood and Greek dishes, and the evenings are calm and family-friendly; for a livelier night out there is nearby Paralia. The rough prices in Greece 2026 help you plan your budget in advance.
