Nea Krini

Nea Krini (Νέα Κρήνη in Greek) is a coastal suburb located in the municipality of Kalamaria, within the Thessaloniki Urban Area in Greece. It is situated east of the city center of Thessaloniki, bordering the Thermaic Gulf.

Nea Krini translates to "New Fountain" or "New Well" in English. The name likely refers to a source of water in the area, although the specifics of its origin are not widely documented.

Historically, the area was primarily agricultural before developing into a residential suburb. Its proximity to the sea has made it a popular location for both permanent residents and those seeking coastal recreation.

Today, Nea Krini is known for its waterfront promenade, which features restaurants, cafes, and bars. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, particularly during the warmer months. It also includes areas for fishing.

The suburb is well-connected to the rest of Thessaloniki through public transportation, including buses. It's also near the Thessaloniki International Airport "Macedonia".
