Platamonas
The small town in the south of Pieria, under Mount Olympus, is considered one of the most important resorts in this area.
With lots of greenery, dense forests full of plane trees (which gave it its name), clear sea, a long sandy beach and an equally long promenade, this is a tourist destination that will certainly not disappoint you. Due to the pleasant climate and the gradual entry into the water, it can be said that this destination is ideal for families with children, although it should certainly be noted that a little above the center there is also a large beach that is for everyone’s taste. The resort boasts a large number of taverns, cafeterias, discotheques, fast food restaurants, shops…
To this day, Platamon manages to preserve the Byzantine fortification from 1204, which, apart from being a favorite tourist destination, is also a trademark of this place. Also, the fort is the venue for the Olympus Festival.
