Places to see around Katerini
Posted: Mon September 1, 2008 01:49 PM UTC
Hi all!
I am going on a vacation in Olympic Beach and I'd like to see some sites around, can you recommend something?
I've already been in Dion, so other options are welcome.
Please, tell me also how can I get there by public transportation?
Many thanks & looking forward to hearing from you :)

It is absolutely worth to travel to the mountain village of Litohoro, on the slopes of the legentary mount Olympos, it is a beautiful place with early Macedonian architecture, stunning views of the mountain and the sealine of Pieria district (where Katerini is the capital town). Many hostels and restaurants with ok prices are open all year round. It is easily accessible from the Katerini intercity bus station.
The southernmost edge og Pieria/ Katerini district is dominated by the medieval castle of Platamonas(close to the Platamonas seaside village), where cultural performances are often arranged; close to the castle there is a road leading to the newly restored village of Agios Panteleimon, but u 'd a car to get ther.
North of Katerini u can visit Vergina, the site an early Macedonian settlement with some interesting tombs of Macedonian "kings". It is a very distinct place with monuments that preserve vivid colour decorations, a rarity in Greece.
