MUNICIPALITY OF METHONI
Seat of the Municipality: Makrigialos
Municipal Districts: Methoni, Makrigialos, Nea Agathoupoli, Palio Elefterohori
In Pieria, the land of Gods, Zeus donated to its most idyllic recess, Methoni, graphic hillocks, clear deep blue water, dentelated beaches, known as Olympus Riviera and the panoramic view of the gulf of Thermaikos.
In this charismatic place Zeus used to drink wines in the ancient era and nowadays three picturesque coastal villages Makrigialos, Methoni and Nea Agathoupoli as well as Eleftherohori are here to fascinate the visitor.
The organized beaches, awarded with the "Blue flag", Makrigialos, and Ancient Pydna, as well as the beaches of Koutsouro, Agiannis and Methoni with the clear water and the golden sand, promise peaceful vacations, rest and fun.
The history of Macedonia is here and is made evident with the Neolithic settlement in Makrigialos (5000 b.C.], the Ancient Pydna, one of the most important towns in Macedonia, with the ancient cemetery, the Macedonian Tombs (5 th cent. b.C.] the Episcopal complex and the traditional fountain of the post-Byzantine era (18 th cent. a.c.).
