Most of the inhabitants are descendants of Cappadocian Greeks who arrived from Karvali (today Güzelyurt, Turkey) following the Greek-Turkish population exchange in 1924.
Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Kavala, of which it was a municipal district.[2] The 2021 census recorded 2,003 inhabitants in the community.[1] The community of Nea Karvali covers an area of 46.297 km2.[3]
The town is a popular small tourist destination with many people owning second homes, especially domestic tourists from Greece.
