Paralia Katerinis

     Paralia Katerinis is a cosmopolitan beach, with clean sand and friendly shallow sea, stretching for many kilometres. It has been being awarded the European Blue Flag for many years. Wide and sandy, it attracts a great number of visitors every summer.
     With the imposing existence of Mount Olympus in the vicinity, paired with Pieria, the mountain housing the Muses in antiquity, Paralia is also a good starting point to visit all the sights of the hinterland of the county. Vergina, where the tomb of the Great Alexander's father, King Phillipos, together with more macedonean tombs, is also a short bus ride away. The sight of the golden diadema, funeral present to the great dead King, a masterpiece of goldsmithing of all Ages, is not to be missed.
    There are harbour facilities for yacht and small craft and a vast number of modern hotels of all categories, rooms to rent, many restaurants and taverns offering  International and Greek cuisine, plentiful shops, sea sports, important cultural displays as well as a great variety of night clubs.
    Situated just eight kms from Katerini, it is easily reached from The National Motorway E75 (Junctions: Katerini or Korinos) and from the recently completed coastal road from Olympic Beach (Katerinoskala) to Nea Agathoupoli. It is also serviced by the railway from Salonika to Athens (Station: Katerini).
