The beach of Nea Iraklitsa, called “alana”, has a beach bar and volleyball courts. The beach was awarded the blue flag for the first time in 2007 and is considered one of the best in the Kavala prefecture. There are also organized parking lots, a sailing club and 5×5 courts. One of the main attractions is the church of Panagia Faneromeni, where the miraculous Icon of the Great Grace is located, which according to tradition was painted by the Evangelist Luke.

The Kara of Saint Charalambos the Hieromartyr is also kept. The church celebrates the nine days of the Theotokos, when a great celebration is held in the village. At the location “Aetoplagias” is the cave of the Nymphs, with findings from prehistoric and historical times. At the location Sitzak Dere, there are two towers from the classical – Hellenistic period.

Opposite Nea Iraklitsa are the islets of Fidonisi, which is privately owned, and Arethousa, rocky islets that were once an island. It is a place near Kavala that will take your imagination, with its morphology, to an Aegean island, with clean beaches, clear turquoise waters and everything that one needs to have a carefree and beautiful vacation.
