Things to do
All within an hour's drive
-
Skepasmeno waterfalls
A short walk through the gorge to the falls — cool water even in August.
-
Hike the Pieria mountains
Marked trails from gentle ridge walks to full-day summits, straight from the door.
-
Local wineries
Small family estates in the foothills, most happy to pour if you call ahead.
-
Velvento peaches
The valley's famous fruit — best eaten warm, straight from a roadside stall in July.
-
Lake views
Polyfytos lake and its bridge, at their best in the last hour before sunset.
-
Castles of Servia
Byzantine walls above the town, with the whole valley laid out below.
Somewhere to come back to
Two independent houses on the same grounds, at the end of the road. See the chalets.
