Hello. In Greece, I rested not for the first time, but for the first time on the mainland. For my vacation, I chose a region that is close to excursions such as Meteora, Olympus-Dion-Vergina, because, as a history lover, it was important for me to combine my vacation with the knowledge of the historical and cultural values of Greece, and the Pieria region simply perfectly meets all these requirements.

Hello. In Greece, I rested not for the first time, but for the first time on the mainland. For my vacation, I chose a region that is close to excursions such as Meteora, Olympus-Dion-Vergina, because, as a history lover, it was important for me to combine my vacation with the knowledge of the historical and cultural values of Greece, and the Pieria region simply perfectly meets all these requirements. I stayed at the Cosmopolitan Hotel & Spa near Paralia Katerinis, which is considered the center of tourism in the Pieria region.
A little about the hotel, it fully corresponds to the stated description on the sites that I studied with interest before the rest. The rooms are cozy, of course small, but not cramped, everything is stylish and tastefully selected. Furniture, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning and a safe are new, they did not cause any trouble during operation. Housekeeping is satisfactory, daily wet cleaning of rooms, balconies, change of bed linen - every other day. Although the hotel is located on the roadway, it does not cause any discomfort, as a rule, it is quiet and calm at night, and life is in full swing on the streets of the center of Paralia Katerinis.
Who is accustomed to spend their holidays in Turkey and Egypt food can be disappointing. For dinner, for example, 2-3 types of side dishes, 2-3 types of meat, vegetables, Greek cabbage rolls, olives, feta, sauces, Greek yogurt from national food. Fruits - watermelons and melons. However, everything is very tasty, cooked from the heart, so no one was left hungry. For a change, you can go to the embankment in the evening and enjoy dinner in one of the many taverns, where simply great dishes, fine wine and the hospitable attitude of the owners.
In my opinion, the hotel is ideal for couples, including those with children, young people (unless you are fans of club entertainment, soap parties and noisy companies).
I was very satisfied with my vacation, visited all the planned excursions, had a great time at the hotel, and the Cosmopolitan hotel undoubtedly played a role in this!

In autumn, we had a completely spontaneous holiday in Greece. We visited this wonderful country for the first time and I will say right away - we are going to return! Excellent, mild climate, sea, mountains. Friendly staff, you can say "from the doorway" offered help, they showed everything. Meals - a buffet, everything is on time, tasty and there is a choice.

In autumn, we had a completely spontaneous holiday in Greece. We visited this wonderful country for the first time and I will say right away - we are going to return! Excellent, mild climate, sea, mountains. Friendly staff, you can say "from the doorway" offered help, they showed everything. Meals - a buffet, everything is on time, tasty and there is a choice. We liked. The hotel is cozy and calm, although the sea was cool, the hotel has a spa center where you can soak in the heated pool or sauna. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, elegantly furnished, we had a beautiful view of the sea (we booked this in advance). The fireplace in the room was a pleasant surprise! Our double room could comfortably accommodate a 3rd person without any problems.
The sea is nearby and the beach itself is sandy, golden sand, there were no problems with sunbeds, although the beach is not a hotel, but this did not bother at all. For one drink lie down, sunbathe at least all day!
Of the excursions, we visited the thermal springs in Aridea, which are located in an amazing mountain gorge. We also went to Athens and the legendary Acropolis. We visited the parliament building and saw the changing of the guard, a very interesting sight. Greeks in national costumes are so cute Note to the girls: only the most beautiful Greeks are in this national guard, you can take pictures with them.
In conclusion, we would like to thank all the hotel staff, guides, escorts, drivers. We were convinced that Greece is a very beautiful and warm country. So wait for us again!

The hotel was recommended by an employee of Mouzenidis, but he saw the hotel in April, on a promotional tour. Overall, the experience of the hotel is not bad. service, room, spa, swimming pool - all at the level.

The fact that the restaurant had sour dishes for a couple of evenings in a row is attributed to the heat. Anything can happen. did not see. The most unpleasant thing is that from a room with a sea view you can see not the sea, but from half a kilometer of swampy wasteland. you understand how many mosquitoes in the evening. The hotel is located at the crossroads of a fairly busy road and is separated from it by a row of frail Christmas trees. To the nearest civilization - 15 minutes on foot. The beach is very dirty, the sea is shallow. Crowds of Bulgarians, Poles and Romanians. Greek speech is almost inaudible.

It took a long time to decide with my girlfriends where to spend our two-week vacation and chose Greece, namely the Cosmopolitan Hotel & Spa. We arrived there quite early, especially for the beginning of the settlement, but we were settled immediately. The room was on the second floor, small but cozy, the furniture is all new, it is located harmoniously, it did not in the least hamper the interior space of the room.

We arrived there quite early, especially for the beginning of the settlement, but we were settled immediately. The room was on the second floor, small but cozy, the furniture is all new, it is located harmoniously, it did not in the least hamper the interior space of the room. The room has a TV, air conditioning, a safe, and none of this caused us any inconvenience during the entire stay. I was struck by the rather large and spacious balcony. The room was cleaned every day and with high quality, the balcony was also cleaned, towels and bed linen were changed every other day. Now about the food, it did not differ in variety, but everything was deliciously cooked and everything was fresh. For breakfast there were several types of cereals, various yogurts (I especially liked the Greek yogurt), fruits, chopped fresh vegetables, pastries were incomparable! For dinner, there were several types of side dishes, the same number of types of meat, once a week they served fish, national Greek dishes, beets, peppers, and from fruits - watermelon and melon. We dined in local taverns, the portions were large, hearty and deliciously cooked, on average, about 15 euros came out for one, depending on the dishes. In taverns, they usually took various Greek salads, fish - incomparable. The beach is a 5-minute pleasant walk from the hotel, the beach is large (the beach strip is wide), what I liked was that the beach was not cluttered with sunbeds and umbrellas, but at the same time the hotel guests had enough of them, especially since many preferred to lie on the beach rugs. The sea was warm, the water was crystal clear, you can see the fish at the bottom, the entrance to the sea is gentle for a long distance. The spa center in Cosmopolitan left a pleasant impression, with pleasure we basked in the hammam and sauna, tried a facial massage with oils - a great procedure! (but the service is paid). From the excursions we went to Meteora and Olympus, words cannot convey all the emotions from what they saw! Be sure to visit! The holiday was unforgettable, and also many thanks to the staff of the Cosmopolitan Hotel & Spa for a wonderful holiday.

We went to rest in Greece, in Paralia Katerinis, in the Cosmopolitan hotel, we liked it very much! Small cozy hotel with very friendly staff! Breakfast and dinner could have been more varied, but everything was very tasty. The sea is 30 meters from the hotel: clean beach, sunbeds from beach bars for a drink (3 E), shallow water, just convenient for children.

Excellent cozy hotel, modern design, rooms are clean and tidy. At the reception, a Russian-speaking girl Lena always helped us to resolve all issues. The breakfasts are really monotonous, but everything is delicious, but for me, an egg lover, it was generally fine)) The town itself is not bad, but I wouldn’t go there, the goal was still to buy a fur coat, and a beach holiday is already an addition) The sea is clean, from the hotel not far away, vacationers are mostly Poles, Russians and Romanians.

A small nice hotel is located on the outskirts of the village in Paralia Katerinis. The staff of the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Spa are proud of their employer and owner of the hotel, a well-known footballer in Greece. I'm not a fan of football, so I didn't remember the last name, I can say one thing: judging by the photo from the magazine, he's a noble handsome man : ).

I'm not a fan of football, so I didn't remember the last name, I can say one thing: judging by the photo from the magazine, he's a noble handsome man : ). The hotel is located on the road leading to the sea. Three hundred meters to the sea; the beach is municipal, wide, sandy. The hotel rooms are compact, modern design (safe, free Wi-Fi). There are so-called "eco" rooms, they are located on the ground floor - without a balcony, and a window under the ceiling. There, on the "zero floor", there is a nice spa with a nice Russian-speaking woman at the reception. Within walking distance from the hotel there are a couple of supermarkets, taverns (lunch costs up to 20 euros for two), shops. Unfortunately, the area around the hotel is not pleasing to the eye - wasteland and construction. But the beautiful sea, the beach and the close location of the hotel to the center of the village compensate for all this. Have a nice holiday!

I visited this hotel in May 2013, as part of a promotional tour. The hotel is located 500 meters from the village of Paralia Katerinis in the translation "Beaches of Katerinis" (Katerini is the picturesque town of Katerini, named after St. Catherine. It was with the construction of the temple in her honor in the 17th century that the history of the city began).

It was with the construction of the temple in her honor in the 17th century that the history of the city began). Holidays in Paralia Katerinis can be different - rich and active, or calm and measured, but in any case, it will leave only pleasant memories. And to make these memories more tangible, you should buy traditional Greek souvenirs: first of all, handicrafts - ceramics, grape and anise vodka, cheese and, of course, olives, olive oil and natural local cosmetics based on it. And, most importantly, don't forget your fur coat!
Hotels in this region are usually not large, urban type, with a small number of rooms, only one or two of them have a pool. Most of the hotels are category B ("three stars"), with meals based on breakfast.
As for the hotel, the hotel is new, the territory is not large, there is a swimming pool. The hotel building has an original design that makes it look like a ship or a luxurious white yacht.
Beach. On foot 500 meters. The beach is wide, sandy, inventory is paid - for a drink in a nearby cafe)
Rooms. Comfortable, stylish design, clean and cozy.
Nutrition. We were treated to dinner at this hotel, the choice is not great, but everything is satisfying and tasty, again it depends on who is used to eating, you will not stay hungry)
The hotel has a homely atmosphere, the staff is always happy to help, suggest . . proximity to the village makes the rest comfortable.
I can advise the hotel for unpretentious tourists, for whom a beach holiday and visiting excursion sites are important.
