Neos Zygos, formerly known as Settlement of Returned Expatriates Greeks[2] or "Prosfyges" (Greek: Πρόσφυγες) which means Refugees. It is a settlement, which is located 12 km[3] northwest of Kavala [4] at an altitude of 99 meters above sea level. It is built near and west of the EO Kavala - Drama, between the villages of Zygos (South), Palaia Kavala (Southwest), Amygdaleona (North) and Polystylo (East). The settlement was created with a government grant for the housing of Expatriates Returned Pontian Greeks[5] from the Soviet Union[6]. From 1990 to 1993, 110 families were settled[7]. It is reported in 1991 to be attached to the community of Zygos[8].

During the Administrative divisions of Greece with the Kapodistrias reform ("Kapodistrias" plan)[10], until 2010, it belonged to the former Municipality of Philippi[11]. In January 2022, it joined the Municipality of Kavala[12] in the Kavala regional unit, Greece after 30 years[13] and changed its name from "Prosfyges" to "Neos Zygos"[14], since the previous name was incorrect, because most of the inhabitants were not refugees or immigrants, but expatriates[15].
