The Castle of Platamon has guarded the passage between Macedonia and Thessaly since the 13th century. Climb to the tower for a panoramic view of the Olympus coastline.
Just a short drive uphill, Old Panteleimonas is one of the most beautiful traditional villages in northern Greece: stone houses, cobbled lanes, a shaded square with tavernas, and a view that stretches from the castle to the Aegean.
This combination makes an ideal 4-hour private tour from Platamonas, Leptokarya, Litochoro or Paralia Katerini — and pairs beautifully with a seaside lunch.
