A famous beachside resort in Pieria with an endless beach, many kilometers long. It’s almost impossible to see this beach filled with people. At dusk, the scenery changes dramatically. The sky darkens, no breeze can be felt and the sea suddenly becomes calm. One can take interesting photos at this time of day. Photographers always feel small and lonely in endless Macedonian beaches. Macedonia is one of the most unique regions of Greece. This is why its beaches are the talk of the town during the summer.
The ruins of ancient Dion, Pieria are sprawled at the foot of Mount Olympus. The ancient city which flourished in the 5th century B.C. was one of the most famous Macedonian cities. Excavations revealed the ancient city with all of its commodities along with statues, pottery, mosaics and inscriptions of immense historic and artistic value. During the era of Alexander the Great, Dion was an important city and it was the place from where the general marched off to battle in Asia. Besides rich history, the village offers its guests beautiful landscapes. The modern village -close to the ancient ruins- is well maintained, has an impressive archaeological museum and good tourist service infrastructure.
When the sun sets, the arcades around Aristotelous Square in Thessaloniki are almost deserted. One by one, the shops close and only the tavernas remain open. The old and the new coexist harmoniously in Thessaloniki, just a couple of meters apart.
