Nea Vyssa (Greek: Νέα Βύσσα) is a village in the northeastern part of the Evros regional unit in Greece. It was the seat of the municipality of Vyssa until 2011. It is situated near the border with Turkey and the river Evros, about halfway between Orestiada and Edirne in Turkey. The nearest villages are Kavyli to the southwest, and Kastanies to the northwest. The name of the village under Ottoman rule was Achirkioi (Greek: Αχυροχώρι - Achyrochori/ Bulgarian: Ахоркьой). After the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) Greek refugees from the village Vyssa (now Bosna, 4 km to the north in Turkey) settled in Achyrochori. It was renamed to Nea Vyssa in 1932. The origin of the name Vyssa may be the Thracian tribe of Bessoi. The family of mathematician Constantin Carathéodory was from old Vyssa. In 1971, OSE, in a bid to avoid using the Edirne curve, built a cut off line just north of the village.
