Nea Moudania (which means New Moudania in Greek) is a lively town in Greece. It is often called just Moudania. This town is the main center of the Nea Propontida area in Chalkidiki.

Nea Moudania is about 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of Thessaloniki, a big city in Greece. It is the most populated town in Chalkidiki. It is also an important place for business and trade in the region.

The town was built after 1922 by Greek people who had to leave their homes. These people were refugees from Asia Minor, which is now part of Turkey. They named their new home after their old hometown, which was called Mudanya. Adding "Nea" (New) helped show it was a new beginning.

Nea Moudania is home to a special school department. It teaches about fishing and how to raise fish. This is part of the Alexander Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki. The town also has a harbor that helps out the bigger port in Thessaloniki.
