Paralia is a municipality in the eastern part of Greece, a great place to spend

a week of your vacation. Here you will have some tips for things to do in a short
time of a week, inspired from my experience that I had in that region of Greece.
First day: You may arrive in Paralia by plane, but I took a long drive by car, a
driving of 10 hours or so. Even after this long drive, when arriving to this great
Greece coast, you'll forget about all tiredness, and the best thing to do on the
first day, especially when arriving around 10 a.m., is going to the beach and
relax, by taking a bath in the great waters of Mediterranean sea.
Of course, before going for a relaxing bath, you must find the hotel you've made
a reservation before and check in. In Paralia you can find lots of 3 stars villas,
that have great conditions of living in there for you vacation days. For example,
when we've been there, (in the summer of 2008) we've checked in to Villa
Domna, which is also very close to the beach. Also, there are lots of villas that
are on the beach, from where you can reach in just a few minutes to the one of
the great beaches of Greece.
After checking in, you may visit the Paralia beach or the Olympic Beach one,
that is bigger than the Paralia one.
For the first day we've decided to stay and relax on the Paralia beach which
was a few minutes of walking from the Domna Villa.
When evening arrives, you have lots of options of spending it, first of all by
searching something to eat for dinner :) So, it's dinner time and along the beach
there are a lot of restaurants with various types of foods, sea food, specific
greek food, etc. Most of them have good prices, not being necessary to be rich
to have a nice dinner on the beach of eastern Greece.
After having a nice dinner, you may spend the rest of the night in one of the
clubs of Paralia, where the night life will never disappoints you.

Second day: The second day we've taken a walk to the Olympic Beach, which
is near by Paralia, a small town with a great beach. Here you may visit the
streets of Olympic Beach and admire the Mediterranean plants from the
gardens of houses, you may spend lots of hours by simply relaxing on the quite
beach, where are not so many people and you may take advantage of the
beach restaurants which have a great sea food for a very good price.

3rd day: On this day we've been for a boat trip to Skiathos island, on the
Koukounaries beach, which is the most famous beach of Skiathos. After few
hours spent to the beach, we've taken a tour of Skiathos town, which has lots
of small roads, hard to get or some of them impossible to get them by car, so
was a real pleasure to walk on by the houses from Skiathos town.

4th day: Time to get a ride to the Katerini town. You can get there by local
buses, the simplest way to get into the town. Visiting the center of the town and
the park from the town center was a real pleasure, it worth to go to see the great
park of this town. It's simply amazing.

5th day: Had a trip to Meteora Monasteries. Only when you are there and see
them, you'll understand the meaning of their name of "suspended rocks". Is one
of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries
in Greece. So, it's a worth to climb all those steps from the monastery to have
a great look of the entire complex.
6th day: Had a trip to Thessaloniki town, the second largest city in Greece.
Here are some tips of what to visit in this city:
- The White Tower, which is the symbol of the city
- The Upper Town with beautiful wooden houses
- The square, shaped like a bottle, a large park lying at the north end of the
square.
Of course you need lot of time to take advantage of the beauty of the town.

7th day: Being the last day of vacation, the best thing to do is getting relax
again on the most large and quite beach near by Paralia, the Olympic Beach
sand.

For a visitor from the East of Europe, the beach of Paralia may feel like home,
with numerous Balkanic languages being spoken everywhere. One should not
expect the exotic landscape of a Greek island, but the hospitality of the locals
and the professionalism of hotel and restaurant workers make it for a pleasant
stay at very low prices. The menus at the local bars is often found in several
European languages, and the clubs are opened and busy till dawn, full of
Greeks, Romanians, Bulgarians, Czechs, Serbians and many others.

Prices are moderate, there are also supermarkets (Liedl), but the offer at
terraces is so rich that is better to eat at the restaurant. With 10 to 15 euros you
get two dishes and dessert at a terrace.
Paralia is also a shopping destination. Besides articles foreseeable in a beach
resort (handbags, swimwear, mattresses, toys) clothing stores with discounts
can also be found. If you are a thrifty man who buys fur coat in summer, in
Paralia you can find many shops with clothing, leather and furs. However
carefully test the quality of products, who most likely come from Chinese or
Turkish bazaars.

Paralia has an effervescent nightlife, with plenty of bars and clubs that resonate
till dawn. Some hotels have free access at the pool, if the waves of the Aegean
See don’t tempt you.
The architecture of hotels and guest-houses in the two resorts is very beautiful.
Buildings that prevail are 2-3 floors, each with a personal air, colorful and
cheerful, without sliding toward kitsch. Streets are narrow, crowded, mostly
one-way or open to pedestrians only.

Olympic Beach is a newer resort, located a mile and a half of Paralia Katerini
(in a straight line along the cliff). The distance between the two resorts can be
completed in an evening stroll, by bus or by an amusement train. On this road,
which connects Olympic Beach to Paralia Katerini, several clubs and hotels
have already appeared, so probably, when Greek tourism will recover from
economic recession, the two resorts will end up merging.

Leaflets from agencies highlight the proximity to Katerini City and Thessakoniki,
but in fact the two resorts are rather neighbor to some villages. The highway
connecting Thessaloniki to Athens is about 2-3 kilometers away from Olympic
Beach, and a landscape with fields of corn might feel a little different from what
travel agencies presented. If you use a car for trips to neighboring villages
(for Mount Olympus, for example) can also take the parallel national road,
instead of the highway, which is free and in good condition.

Fortunately, there is a bus which has frequent routes between Olympic Beach,
Paralia Katerini and the town, located about 7 km away. Tickets are taken from
some machines, depending on distance traveled, costing between 50 cents and
2.5 euro. This bus route is a winding one, going through all Paralia resort,
through a few villages scattered along the road (actually urban looking villas)
and in 30-40 minutes reaches Katerini city. Katerini is a nice city with the charm
of an old settlement. Walking through it is a pleasure, even though no actual
tourist attractions can be noted. From here you have two ways to get to
Thessaloniki (Salonic), a city that you should not miss. Unfortunately, railway
and bus stations are in different points of the city.

Buses and trains leave about every two hours, from dawn to 21:30. Buses run
on the highway and surprisingly have fewer stops than the train, but the
disadvantage is that the bus’ last station is on the outskirts of Thessaloniki.
Instead, the railway station is right in the center of Thessaloniki. Train has the
best conditions: air conditioning, impeccable toilets and comfortable armchairs.
A train or bus ticket between Katerini and Thessaloniki costs 6 euro with
discount for round trip tickets. The train from Katerini city can also be used in
the opposite direction, when going to Mount Olympus. The train stops at the
following points: Thessaloniki, Sindos, Adendro, Plati, Eghinio, Korinos,
Katerini, Litochoro (for Olympus), Larissa (towards Meteora).

If you ask for directions, the Greeks are very helpful, but keep in mind that
Paralia actually means “beach”, so you must say the full name of Paralia
Katerini, not to get misunderstood when in a different city. Landscape and
coastline of Olympic Beach and Paralia Katerini are rather dull. Some rare palm
trees and plenty of sun-beds. In theory, the view should be spectacular, as the
legendary Mount Olympus can be seen from the shore and from many hotel
rooms, but the hot sky with a whitish background will fade the image of the
mountain of the gods, which is not too impressive. If you are into truly
enchanting landscapes will have to choose one of the islands that brought the
fame of Greece, such as Corfu.

The good news is that from the two resorts are organized almost daily trips in
each point of interest. The most further you can go is in the capital Athens. The
trip starts at night, arriving at Thermopylae, with a guided tour of the city, and
in about 24 hours you are back. Costs 40 euros plus 12 euros for visiting the
remains of the Acropolis. A guided trip by bus to Thessaloniki is 15 euros.

The most spectacular destination is Meteora, where you can take a tour of the
most beautiful monasteries miraculously built by mons on the mountain peaks.
It costs 25 euros and is not to be missed.

Another famous destination within reach is the legendary mountain of the

gods, Mount Olympus. A bus goes to Litochoro city, from where you can start
climbing to Prionia and admire the panorama. Henceforth, you can only climb
the mountain by foot. If you catch a clear sky, you can see the Aegean Sea
from the top. If the weather is torrid, as often happens in Greece, will be difficult
to distinguish sea water from the sky, which has the same color, and landscape
will not be as memorable.
If you want to feel the taste of Greek tradition, choose one of the many boat
trips to the islands (for example, to Thassos, for 40 euros). Distractions are
numerous: learn to dance sirtaki, taste the Greek cuisine, bask in the sun or
bathe in see-through waters in spots known by local sailors.

If you want a little more expensive place in the area, you can choose Nei Pori
(Neo Pori), about 30 km south coast, the road leading to Litochoro (Olympus).
On the way, you can admire the ruins of Platamonas, Panteleimonas and
Skotinis. With a more detailed map or a little help from the locals very friendly,
the same road you will find wonderful delta formed at Tebi (Tembi) of river
Pienios.

CE SI UNDE MANCAM IN PARALIA KATERINI: RESTAURANTE SI

TAVERNE
In Paralia Katerini se poate manca bine si la preturi convenabile, in aproape orice
local, fie el restaurant, taverna traditionala, grill, ouzerie, pizzerie sau fast-food. Peste
tot este curat, mancarea gustoasa si proaspata, iar personalul te trateaza cu politete
si prietenie.
Ca peste tot in Grecia, si in Paralia Katerini cele mai populare sunt tavernele
traditionale care practica preturi extrem de accesibile si unde de cele mai multe ori meniul
este tradus si in limba romana. In taverne, decorarea mesei si maniera in care preparatele
sunt servite constituie amanunte mai putin importante decat in restaurantele cu pretentii, de
fitze.
La restaurantele si tavernele din Paralia Katerini, ca mai peste tot in Grecia, mesele sunt
acoperite cu fete de masa de unica folosinta care se schimba dupa fiecare client, tacamurile
sunt asezate în mijlocul mesei, la fel si bautura. Accentul se pune pe ceea ce se afla in
farfurie si pe atmosfera relaxata, lipsita de formalism. In majoritatea tavernelor exista obiceiul
sa se ofere clientilor, din partea casei desertul (inghetata, fructe sau prajituri) sau o carafa
de vin.

Printre cele mai apreciate feluri de mancare traditionale grecesti se

numara: melitzanosalata, taramosalata, dolmadakia (ca aperitive), moussaka, souvlaki
de pui pui sau vita, preparate din peste, calamar si scoici pregatite in cele mai originale
moduri, salata de cruditati (horiatiki) si la desert – baclava, cataif sau loukoumades (gogosi
cu miere si susan).
Diferenţa intre taverna si restaurant (estiatorio) este mai mult de forma decat de continut.
Restaurantele din Paralia Katerini nu sunt deschise dimineata, de obicei se deschid in
jurul pranzului si inchid la 1.30 a.m. in timpul saptamanii, iar vinerea si sambata inchid mai
tarziu, la 2.30-3.00. a.m.
Unele taverne, cafenele si restaurante din Paralia Katerini percep o taxa suplimentara
pentru faţa de masa de unica folosinta si paine, in valoare de 0,4-2€/persoana. Painea
proaspata este garantata in cele mai multe localuri, fiind achizitionata ulterior lansarii
comenzii. Alte localuri obisnuiesc sa servească paine proaspăt prajita. In mod obisnuit se
lasă un bacsis reprezentand 10% din valoarea consumatiei, dar acest lucuru nu este
obligaoriu si nu influenteaza calitatea serviciilor de care veti beneficia in calitate de client.
Psistaria sunt localuri care reunesc sub acelasi acoperis taverna si restaurantul si nu trebuie
confundate cu pitsaria – pizzeriile locale.
Taverna cu specific pescaresc (psarotaverna) este un local unde ar trebui sa gasiti doar
preparate din peste si fructe de mare, dar datorita pretului ridicat al acestora se ofera si o
gama larga de preparate din carne.
Ouzeriile (mezedopolia, ouzadika) sunt mici localuri specializate in a servi ouzo – bautura
aperitiv traditionala cu aroma de anason si gustări potrivite cu aceasta (caracatita, chiftele,
creveti, salata de icre, calamari, salata de vinete, branzeturi, tzatziki – o salata specific
greceasca, foarte racoritoare şi picanta, cartofi, sfecla si salata de fasole boabe), care pot
inlocui cu succes dejunul sau cina.
Atmosfera localurilor din Paralia Katerini, ca de altfel din intreaga Grecie, este foarte
relaxata, clientii par ca se cunosc de o viata si isi spun povestea obligatoriu la un pahar de
ouzo.
Patiseriile (zakharoplastia) servesc placinte traditionale macedonene, prajituri, inghetata
si cafea (nescafe).
Preturile sunt cam aceleasi, indiferent de localul ales: 5-8€ portia de friptura de porc sau de
pui la gratar, 5-9€ portia de peste sau fructe de mare, 4-5 € salata greceasca. Indiferent de
felul comandat (snitel, file de porc, caracatita), acesta este servit cu garnitura de cartofi prajiti
si uneori tzatziki sau salata greceasca, incluse în pret.
Pretul unei portii de placinta este de 1,5-2€, iar al unei prajituri de 2-2,5€/bucata. Berea
Amstel costă 2 – 3,5€ sticla de 500 ml, vinul de masa 3€/carafa de 500 ml sau 12-16€/sticla
de 700 ml, ouzo si Metaxa – 3-5€/50 ml, coctail-urile 6-7 €/pahar.

Taverna Babis&Babis este chiar pe malul marii, la capatul strazii principale din Paralia

din carne de miel, vita si porc, mancaruri vegetariene si diferite soiuri de vinuri.

Taverna Nautilos este situata in capatul dinspre Olympic Beach al statiunii Paralia Katerini,
la strada principala, in apropierea Hotelului Artemis. Conform site-ului TripAdvisor este cea
mai buna taverna din Paralia Katerini, intrunind multe aprecieri din partea turistilor privind
preparatele delicioase, atmosfera placuta si preturile rezonabile.
Restaurantul Zografos este situat central in Paralia din Katerini, pe sttrada principala pe
partea stanga cum mergeti spre Olympic Beach, la aproximativ 150 m de Biserica Alba.
Meniul este si in limba romana, dar cu siuranta nu veti apela la el, intrucat veti dori sa gustati
din mielul la rotisor cu care restaurantul isi imbie oaspetii in fiecare seara. desi preturile sunt
un picut mai mari, preparatele sunt excelente (indeosebi mielul si fructele de
mare), atmosfera placuta si relaxanta, nu la fel de zgomotoasa ca in alte taverne din Paralia
Katerini.
O alta taverna unde noua nea-a placut sa luam masa este Taverna PERICLES, pozitionata
intre biserica si clubul Menta. Mai exact cum stati cu fata la intrarea in biserica, o luati pe
strada centrala in stanga, si este cam a 3-a taverna pe dreapta. Scrie mare cu verde GYROS
 PITA si Pericles. Se mananca FOARTE ieftin, portii foarte MARI si bune. Un piept de pui la
gratar (mare) si o portie de cartofi prajiti (mare) si o salatica mica 5.50€. Ceea ce la un alt
restaurant am vazut cu 6€ friptura si 2€ garnitura. Ospatarul de la PERICLES este Vasili un
macedon, sau Vasile, care stie romaneste. Si germana, si poloneza, si alte limbi. Dar marele
avantaj este ca stie romaneste. Si va puteti intelegi foarte bine cu el, e simpatic foc. Deci va
recomand cu incredere sa mergeti aici, pentru ca noi am mancat de foarte multe ori la
Taverna Pericles si de fiecare data am primit “din partea casei” uzzo, apa, vin, inghetata,
frappe.
Noua ne-a mai placut foarte mult atat mancarea si ambianta de la Taverna Struga, care se
afla pe strada principala din statiune. La Struga am mancat cel mai bun calamar si cele mai
delicioase platouri de fructe de mare (20€ pentru 2 pesoane). Meniul este si in limba romana,
iar preturile sunt un pic cam piperate, dar atmosfera si mancarea delicioasa fac toti banii
pana la ultimul cent. Daca doriti ceva care nu este in meniu, va sfatuim sa intrebati ospatarii
ce va recomanda pentru ziua respectiva sau daca fac un anumit fel de mancare pe care il
doriti.

OLYMPIAKOS AKTI
Am revenit de 2 zile din Olympiaki Akti si doresc sa fac cateva precizari: taverna Akrogiali
este inchisa, taverna Periagli ne a nemultumit (ospatari plictisiti, apa pe care nu am cerut o
ne a fost inclusa in pret, fara desert di partea casei). In schimb am gasit o taverna,
Avgerinos, cu ospatar care ne a recomandat mincarea si nu am fost dezamagiti (preferam
peste si fructe de mare, branza la cuptor sau la gratar, dar aici gasesti si ciorbita gustoasa
pentru amatori,desert din partea casei). White rose ne a incantat si cu servirea si cu
delicioasele preparate (am degustat o bautura aperitiv ,,tsipouro,, si desert din partea
casei). Va recomand sa degustati gogosele lor insiropate cu miere (loukumades), pe care
noi le am preferat si cu scortisoara; strugurii si piersicile, nectarinele si pepenele rosu
delicioase!
