Flying over Paralia Katerini,Greece, Παραλία Κατερίνης #hellasheavens#paralia#katerini

Paralia Katerini, or just Paralia, is the most popular and largest resort in the Olympic region. Once the fishing port of Katerini, a village with only a few houses, has grown into a cosmopolitan place with over 7,000 permanent residents. Paralia belongs to the area of Peria, which is characterized by rich Mediterranean vegetation and a moderate climate, so you will find tourists here all year round.
Paralia has a large promenade consisting of the first street parallel to the sea and a series of cross streets, which are paved and studded with restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops... Due to the very dynamic night life in clubs and discotheques, the place attracts a lot of younger tourists .The Orthodox Church of the Holy Martyr Fotina, located in the very center of Paralia, really dominates the image of this resort... The size of the church is truly imposing, the architecture is authentic, and the beauty of the white marble is especially noticeable, which is used to form a plateau with a large number of steps in front of the church, on which various events and concerts during the summer months...
Paralia does not have a local market, but in Katerini, 7 km away, a large market opens every Wednesday and Saturday where you can find cheap fruits, vegetables, spices, olive products, fabrics and simply enjoy and feel the pulse of the local population.
For those who didn't know, "Paralia" in Greek means beach, and this one in Paralia on the internet has from the most negative to the most positive comments. The beach in Paralia is about 6 km long and in some parts up to 100 m wide. The sand on the beach is very fine and extremely pleasant to walk on without shoes. The entry into the water is gradual in all parts of the beach and also with fine sand, and the shallows last up to 30 or even 40 m from the entry into the water. As a result, the water is somewhat warmer than on other beaches, so with a clean seabed, we can say that the beach is ideal for the youngest swimmers. The water is extremely clean but you will not have that impression because it is always cloudy with fine sand, so you will have the impression that you are swimming in a river or a lake. Sea grass or seaweed will almost always swim around you, so it's not uncommon to see pictures on the internet where you can see whole piles of grass in the shallows. There weren't too many of them during our visit but negative comments about the presence of jellyfish on this beach are not rare. Despite this, this beach is extremely popular, so in July and August it is almost impossible to find a free place in the central parts of the beach. As you go to the left of the city center, the crowd decreases, and some say that the water is cleaner, i.e. less cloudy, when you move away from the crowd. Given that the beach is very clean and well maintained...that it has lifeguards...showers and changing cabins...toilets and access for disabled people, it is not surprising that the beach in Paralia has been justifying the awarded blue flag for years. A large part of the beach is organized by beach bars with different offers...a few of them are extremely luxurious, but between the cafes there is plenty of free space for your umbrellas and towels. The beach has no natural shade. In several places, it is possible to rent props for water sports...and there are also a couple of fields for sports on the sand. It's not that there isn't that on other beaches, but on this one in Paralia, there are especially a lot of sellers of glasses, watches, bracelets and other souvenirs, and on the beach you'll be able to use the services of massage, tattooing or kika knitting...
