**Nea Skioni** (Greek: Νέα Σκιώνη, ˈnea sciˈoni) is a village and a community in the peninsula of [Kassandra](/source/Kassandra,_Chalkidiki), [Chalkidiki](/source/Chalkidiki), [Macedonia](/source/Macedonia_(Greece)), [Greece](/source/Greece). Nea Skioni is located 7 km southwest of [Chaniotis](/source/Chaniotis), 7 km west of [Agia Paraskevi](/source/Agia_Paraskevi,_Chalkidiki) and 90 km southeast of [Thessaloniki](/source/Thessaloniki). It is named after the ancient city of [Scione](/source/Scione), whose site was nearby to the east.

Nea Skioni was established in 1918 where fisherman huts existed. In 1930, the old village “Tsaprani”, which was located in the mountain of Kassandra, was abandoned.

The new village was named after the ancient Skioni, which was the oldest colony. According to Thucydides, it was built after the Trojan War by the Pellineis of Peloponnese, who were located there to spend the winter.

The village is a popular tourist destination known for its pleasant and engaging atmosphere.
