The city is located 60 km south of Thessaloniki and is considered to be the financial and commercial centre of the whole prefecture. It was built after 1922 by Asia Minor Greek refugees who gave the settlement the name of their previous city, (now Mudanya, Turkey) hence the word Nea, which means new in Greek.
