The prefecture boarders north with Imathia Prefecture, eastwards there is a Thermaikos gulf, west it boarders with the prefectures of Kozani and Imathia through Pieria Mountains and south with the one of Larissa. Over Pieria`s all green meadows and the beautiful seashores dominates Olympus, the mountain that the ancient Greeks chose for their gods` residence. Pieria does not have a common history; each city, each village has its own historical course.
Pieria has unexpected changes in scenery; this is the region where you can combine your mountain holiday with a vacation by the sea. Not only will you find the Thermaic coast enchanting, you'll also admire Olympus, the mountain of the gods. Pieria is thickly forested, with plane trees, pines, poplars and firs on Olympus. That means that Pieria is ideal any time, any season… Eastwards, there is a magnificent coastline but, besides its lovely beaches, Pieria has two significant archaeological sites: Dion and Pydna. The access there is easy through the national road from Athens to Salonica that goes through the eastern Pieria.
