| The capital of Pieria Prefecture, Katerini, lies between the plain of Pieria and Mt. Olympos. Some 32 kilometres southwest of Katerini, the village of Agios Dimitrios is built on a plateau where there are water and trees in abundance. The road to Stena tis Petras, the pass to Thessaly, is truly exciting, as is a walk up the impressive Olympos Gorge. At Dion, 17 kilometres south of Katerini, archaeologists have brought to light the extensive ruins of the Macedonians' sanctuary of the Gods.
