Festival of the sea
July, 18th – Aug., 30th, 2025
Amphitheatre of Nea Moudania | West Coast

The top cultural event of the Municipality of Nea Propontida is definitely the “FESTIVAL OF THE SEA”, monopolising the summer nights of locals and visitors, giving them the opportunity to enjoy high-quality theatrical performances and be carried away by the magical music flooding the night.

A 2000 people place, a hairbreadth from the sea. Lined eastwards by the Kassandra peninsula, the theatre faces the expanse of the Aegean Sea and enjoys westwards, a unique sunset with Mount Olympus in the background. The perfect setting for the festival.

Whether you’re a fan of bouzoukia, ballet, or big bands, there’s something for every taste and every age. Greek stars like Natasa Theodoridou, Sokratis Malamas, Eleonora Zouganeli, and Miltos Paschalidis share the stage with iconic theatre performances and family shows under the open sky.

So, pack your summer spirit and join us where culture meets the coast. The Sea Festival isn’t just a program—it’s a feeling. Let’s make memories together!

🎟️ Tickets available at Georgiou Bookstore, Central Square, Nea Moudania.
