In a nutshell
A great place to kick back and relax!
viddra Says: This white church in the centre of Paralia is dedicated to St. Paraskeva. It was built in 1993.Next to the church, there's a small chapel.The church is 1 of the most photographed buildings here and you can see it on almost all Paralia postcards.Two stained-glass windows have...
mtcowgirl Says: Meteora is one of the largest complexes of monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos in Halkadiki. It is thought that monks lived amongst the rocks and caves as early as the 11th century. The actual monastery buildings were not constructed until the 14th century and...
mtcowgirl Says: During the summer months, there is an excellent artist that sits on the main street of Paralia near the school. The artist does wonderful characoal portraits from live models (sitting for approximately 25-30 minutes) or from a photograph. The cost for a single person is 25...
mtcowgirl Says: Go-karting in Paralia is for both kids and big-kids (adults!) There are two different types of cars available depending on the age and skill of the drivers.Cost for 5-rounds on the course is 8 Euros. Sometimes with more laps, the manager will throw in a few rounds on the...
mtcowgirl Says: No visit to a beach is complete without a ride on the banana boat, especially for children (and adults!) Visit Extreme Watersports on the beach near Omilos Club to ride the bananas or take one of the other tube crafts for a thrilling ride along the beach behind the boat.Life...

mtcowgirl Says: Ice Factory is newly opened in 2007 in Paralia across from McDonalds. With a hip modern look to it, the Ice Factory mixes up fresh icecream and bakes its own sweets on location.You can buy everything from a waffle cone of ice-cream to cakes or sandwiches in the shop at...
Giouras Taverna: Traditional Dishes and the Best Seafood!
mtcowgirl Says: Go to the back of the restaurant to have a candle-lit dinner on the beach as you listen to the waves gently lap the shore. Or stay inside to watch a Greek wedding party celebrate with loud traditional music and dancing!Giouras is the place to be in Paralia. It is one of...
A safe choice by the main city park of Katerini: XYLINO
Yiannis2000 Says: Xylino has been a good choice for a casual dinner in town for the past 20 years; my last visit in May 2006 confirmed my earlier impressions, excellent local dishes, meat and perhaps the best kokoretsi in town!
Gold Club: Dancing Until Your Feet Hurt
mtcowgirl Says: Gold Club was formerly known as Casa. In 2007, the club was remodeled and given its present name. The club packs up with locals and tourists between 12:30-1am on the weekends. Get there before then and only handfuls of people will be there. But wait a while and the club will...
briantravelman Says: The bus system in Greece is really bad, especialy for tourists. The schedual makes no sense. Despite the fact that it's written in Greek, the times are inaccurate, i.e. our bus arrived 15 minutes later then it was suppose to.The connections are also really bad. We were...
Shopping on the Beach!: Shopping without leaving your Sunbed!
mtcowgirl Says: I can't really describe the shop because there is no physical location! You can basically shop for everything from necklaces to pictures to cheap Chinese radios all from your sunbed on the beach. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the cheap knock-off sunglasses and CDs...
Leather Centro: Bargains on Leather Goods
mtcowgirl Says: No trip to Paralia is complete without a stop at Leather Centro! Each year the store will is filled with the latest models of leather jackets for men and women at fantastic prices. The jackets are very well priced. You can get a good quality jacket for around 100 Euros. Turn...
mtcowgirl Says: There is a troop of Roma (Gypsy) children in Paralia that sell roses during the afternoon and evening. Even if you purchase a flower from one child, the next one that comes along will try to sell you more. The kids will come into restaurants, hotel bars, and anywhere else...
mtcowgirl Says: During the summer months CD hawkers swarm the beach trying to sell knock-off CDs and sometimes DVDs to tourists. I'm not going to take the high moral ground and try to dissuade people from buying knock-off CDs, however I do want to warn people that often the CDs are very...
Yiannis2000 Says: Ελατοχώρι Πιερίας■ Πώς Το Ελατοχώρι απέχει 95 χλμ. από...
viddra Says: Just a few steps from the centre of Litohoro is this National Park, so it would be a shame to leave the place and not visit it.Take a pleasant walk in the National park, follow the path in the rock and ardmire the nature. When you get to the end of your path, you'll see the...
mtcowgirl Says: Waterskiing is a great summer sport and lots of fun with a group of friends.Extreme Watersports offers waterskiing in Paralia in addition to banana and tube boats. Waterskiing will set you back 20 Euros for around 15 minutes of skiing...or repeated failed attempts. The...
mtcowgirl Says: Diving in Greece can't really be compared to diving the coral reefs of Egypt. But that doesn't mean that people shouldn't try it! Diving in Greece isn't boring, it's just different than other places.Greece is the first place that I've ever seen a live octopus and the only...
codrutz Says: "Paralia" means beach in greek. Therefore Paralia Katerini means the beach of Katerini. So Katerini is the city and Paralia is the holiday resort. Got that? :)While in Paralia Katerini you should visit also the city of Katerini. It is also pretty interesting, nice to walk...
codrutz Says: From that tiny strip of sand beach in front of the hotel I stayed in Paralia Katerini there was this path of stones that take you almost 50 meters inside the sea. Probably this is a great place in the summer, for tanning and then go for a swim. In December, this was only a...
KATERINI- Greek Macedonia- GREECE
An average town of 50000 inh., Katerini has no special charm, but its location between the highest mountain in Greece and 100 kms of sandy beaches makes it an attractive, convenient place to stay. It...
Nine days in September 2003. we spent on fine sandy beach of Nei Pori few km on the south direction from small town of Platamonas in Pieria County, Macedonia, Greece. As we like to see as much as we...
Nice holiday destination. There are a few hotels right on the beach - that's a very nice feature, to see the sea just sitting on your bed. You can find in Paralia Katerini a spot to relax for a good...
This page is my THANK YOU page to my friend Yiannis 2000 :) This is at least what I can do after what he has done for me during my stay in Greece ...
Another small Greek town. I really liked it for... I don't know what. There's nothing special in Katerini. Should you be visiting Pieria, give it a visit and you won't be sorry :)
