Nea Roda is a village 115 km (71 mi) southeast of Thessaloniki, on the narrowest point of the Athos peninsula, Chalkidiki, Greece.
Nea Roda is named after the original village (now in the Turkish provenience of Narlı) called Roda. Rodi (Ρόδι) meaning pomegranate, is the root of the word Roda which means "many pomegranates"; and "Nea" (Νέα) meaning new is the meaning of the first word. This due to an abundance pomegranate trees in the original village. This can be seen even today in the new village, where many people still have pomegranate trees in their backyard.
In 480 BC, King Xerxes I of Persia wanted to dig a channel here over Cape Athos.
Today, Nea Roda is a modern village with 1,164 residents (2011 census), making it the second biggest town of the municipal unit of Stagira-Akanthos after Ierissos. Fishing, tourism and agriculture are the people’s main occupations.
