Nea Peramos

Nea Peramos is situated in the eastern part of the Megaris plain, on the Saronic Gulf coast, opposite the island of Salamis. Nea Peramos is 7 km east of Megara, 11 km west of Eleusis. The town was developed across the sea shore and included the seashore summer resort of Loutropyrgos, once the boundary between the ancient rival city states of Athens and Megara.

The A8 motorway passes north of the town. The Nea Peramos railway station is served by Proastiakos commuter trains to Kiato. From its fishing harbour, a ferryboat line connects it to the island of Salamis, close to the Monastery of Panagia Faneromeni.{{Cite web |url=http://www.salamina.gr/Default.aspx?tabid=243&language=el-GR |title=Δήμος Σαλαμίνας > Παρουσίαση Δήμου > Αξιοθέατα > Μονή Φανερωμένης |access-date=2011-10-04 |archive-date=2012-04-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405223505/http://www.salamina.gr/Default.aspx?tabid=243&language=el-GR |url-status=dead }}

In 1922, after the debacle of the Greek Army, the Greek residents of Peramos (modern Karşıyaka near Bandırma, Turkey){{Cite web|url=http://asiaminor.ehw.gr/forms/fLemmaBodyExtended.aspx?lemmaId=9167#chapter_0|title=Great Online Encyclopaedia of Asia Minor|website=asiaminor.ehw.gr|accessdate=25 April 2023}} in Asia Minor were expelled from their town before the advancing Turkish Army and the rebels. They ended up in Kavala and in the area of Megara. This location near Megara was given over by the Government of Eleftherios Venizelos so that they could start their new life. Their first school was a wooden shack which also functioned on Sundays as a church until the current Church of Saint George was built to accommodate his Icon which the refugees brought with them from their ancestral land.:el:Νέα Πέραμος Αττικής
