 Pieria
Accommodation
The
very long trip from Ioannina to Thessaloniki is only sparked by the passing
through the Vale of Tempe, a strategic pass that has been hewn deep into the
mountain by a river alongside the modern road. Extremely narrow at points, it
was the major entrance between Macedonia and the south.
Once you've
gone through the pass, you'll enter Pieria, the southermost
part of Macedonia. Another amazing site was
the
castle of Platamon on the edge of the sea (shortly after
passing through Tempe where another narrow passage is
created). It was built by the crusaders in 1204 and
with the cloudy weather, sea, and general area, it is easy to
forget you're in Greece and not in England or Ireland.
 Olympus:
home of the immortal gods and land of the Centaurs, is only
one of the many places in Thessaly where relics of ancient
Greece can be seen and, on the western edge of the plain of
Thessaly, just as the Pindus range begins to form, there are
24 perpendicular rocks on which Byzantine monks built their
monastic community, the Meteora, about 600 years ago. The
mountain can be seen, but only in the best weather. It
is usually clouded at the top. |

Mykonos Island
|
|
 Ιt is the cosmopolitan center of the Cyclades Complex. Its reputation has spread during the last years due to its unique landscape, its archaelogical sites, its cosmopolitan environment and its magnificent beaches.
White-washed, cube-shaped houses are scattered all over the island, narrow streets in the town, chapels and picturesque tavernas hide among art galleries and stores selling jewellery, souvenirs etc.
Trends that sweep through the international scene are born in the intense nightlife of this modern resort.
An island of tempting and tempestuous reputation such as Mykonos, with high tourism and a rather superficial lifestyle, inevitably has both fans and critics.
But even the most unsuspecting visitor immediately realizes that Mykonos is not only a crazy “bon-viveur”, but also an attractive, picturesque island with white Chora aside the crystal-clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
Direct international charter flights and regular domestic flights from Athens serve frequently, during summer, the airport of Mykonos.
Because it is so famous, Mykonos gets really overcrowded during high season but for those who enjoy the crowd, great fun and all night long entertainment, Mykonos is the ideal place for holidays.
Have a wonderful time...
