An April morning at Pieria (2) - a photo on Flickriver

            Shot in early April 2017 with an Olympus E1 + Carl Zeiss f1,4/50mm lens.
____________________________________________
What's absolutely great about the Greek landscape is the combination of mountain and sea, often tempered with astounding vegetation and flora. Pieria is one such amazing place which not only boasts the country's highest mountain in Greece (Mount Olympus – or simply Olympos), as well as the country's longest beach!
Obviously, the 12 Olympians – Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Aphrodite, Athena, Dionysus and the rest – new what they were doing when they chose Mount Olympus as their haunt. Millennia later, the Ancient Macedonians founded Dion, a city which even had its own Olympic games in the 5th century BC. 
More specifically, there are rock climbing possibilities around Olympus and the mountains of Pieria. Near the village of Palio Pantelimona you can embark on a paragliding adventure, while horseback riding can be enjoyed in Palio Elatochori and at Ktima Irakli in Kato Milia. Canyoning enthusiasts will adore the gorges and Olympus, namely those of Orlias-Olympos and Enipeas-Olympos And if you're a diver, you can enjoy your favorite pastime in Plaka Litochorou, Platamonas or even the capital of Pieria, Katerini.
