Popular locations near Nea Makri include Zoumberi Beach and the Brexiza Wetland. It is widely known and visited due to its beaches and coastline. == History == The area was once known as ''Plesti'', but following the 1922 [[Asia Minor Catastrophe|Greek military disaster in Asia Minor]] and the subsequent expulsion of the native Greeks of [[Fethiye|Makri]] in Turkey, it was renamed ''Nea'' Makri (''New'' Makri) by the refugees who settled there. The [[United States Navy]] operated a HF radio communications base north of Nea Makri from the mid to the late 20th century. The transmitters were located further north, at Kato Souli. The call sign of the station was ''NGR''. The American naval communications station was the deployment location for [[Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133]], home-ported in Gulfport, MS. [[Saint Ephraim the martyr]] was a monk who may have lived in the Monastery of the Annunciation in Nea Makri; it has become an important monastery in recent years and has become a site of pilgrimage for all Greeks.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Άγιος Εφραίμ (Νέας Μάκρης)|url=http://agios-efraim.blogspot.com/|access-date=2021-09-03}}</ref> == Population == {| class=wikitable !
