Mythic Summer Hotel, Katerini, Central Macedonia, Greece

Your hotel is wrapped in the stunning scenes of the Olympius Riviera, the coastal strip at the foot of Mount Olympus (home of the gods, mythologically speaking). Nature lovers are spoiled for choice, from casual idyllic rambles to serious mountainous trekking. History buffs might want to check out the Great Thermal Baths of Dion down the coast, a wonderfully preserved testament to Roman technological advancement.

For those who simply want to indulge in the crystal clear, glittering waters of Paralia Beach, it’s a short walk from your hotel. You’ll find plenty of bustling bars, or you could venture further down the beach to find a quieter spot. Paralia itself has a lively, fun atmosphere, with ice cream shops, seafood spots and tavernas aplenty.
