Nea Malgara

Among the towns of Macedonia and Thrace, Nea Malgara stands out for its position on low-lying farmland west of the Axios River delta. This part of northern Greece extends toward the Thermaic Gulf, where the Axios wetlands form an important estuarine environment on the edge of the Thessaloniki plain. Fields and irrigation channels shape the settlement’s surroundings more than dense urban development, while Thessaloniki lies east across the plain. Nea Malgara’s name recalls Malgara in Eastern Thrace, reflecting the refugee resettlement that shaped many communities in Greek Macedonia during the 20th century.
