Pieria sits on the coast of mainland Greece, where long sandy beaches meet a backdrop of mountains. It is a quieter, more traditional corner of Greece that suits UK families and couples after a relaxed beach holiday with a genuine local feel.

Less developed than some of the islands, Pieria pairs easy beach days with the chance to enjoy the dramatic scenery just inland.

Where to stay in Pieria

Evilion Sea and Sun Hotel is a four-star hotel in the coastal town of Nei Pori in Pieria, a comfortable base close to the beach.

Getting there and when to go

Holidays to Pieria typically involve a flight to one of northern Greece's airports followed by a transfer to the coast. The season runs from spring to autumn, with hot summers and gentler warmth in the shoulder months for those who prefer to avoid the peak heat.

Beaches and resorts

The coastline offers long sandy beaches and clear water, backed by green hills and mountains. The resorts here are low-key and family-friendly, with a calmer feel than the busier holiday hotspots.

Food and things to do

Greek tavernas serve fresh fish, grilled meats and local dishes at a relaxed pace. Away from the beach, the nearby mountains offer striking scenery and walks, and a hire car opens up the wider region.

Who it suits

Pieria suits families and couples who want a quieter, more traditional Greek beach holiday with mountain scenery close by. If you prefer authentic and relaxed over busy and built-up, it is a fine choice.
