Pieria - Olympus

 

 

 

 

 

The prefecture of Pieria includes 80 km golden sandy beach. This beach in combination with the Olympus and Pieria mountains, that delimit the western limits of the prefecture, offer to the visitors a very good combination of mountain and sea.

In Pieria there is the holy city of the Macedonians, Dion. Here Alexander the Great made sacrifices in the gods before his departure for his big expedition against the Persians. Dion flourished at the years of the Macedonian kings.It gets to know new acme at the roman times at the 2nd century AD. The 5th AD century devastating earthquakes and floods cause the end of city. The remains of temples, the ancient theatre of Dion in a good condition, where events and concerts are given, are saved until today.

 

 

The night life of the city is one more plus in this location of Macedonia. Litohoro, Leptokarya, Platamonas are

certain from the most touristic destinations that are selected aiming at the night amusement. Beautiful beaches, marine sports and young people that enjoy their vacations are the pieces that compose the puzzle of this side of Greece.
