The Pieria mountains are in the midland of Greece, full of forests of beech, oak and fir trees. Just beside the well-known Mount Olympos. They are a great place for hiking, bird watching, sky watching, flora and fauna, mushroom collecting, skiing and lots of other activities.
The hotel I recommend is Semeli mountain resort, which has a great view. It's only 90 minutes drive from Athens.

Pieria mountains are roughly in the middle of the Greek mainland and just beside Mount Olympus - the well known mount of gods from mythology. They are beautiful and green.

A hotel which has a great view of Mount Olympus is the Semeli Resort. It's small but cosy and is beside the forests. Great walking opportunities, birdwatching, mountain biking, skiing - when there's snow.

In 20 minutes' drive you can visit Dion, Vergina in one-hour drive, Thessaloniki with a vast collection of Byzantine churches and ruins, museums and the beach is 20 minutes' drive. I love this area - beautiful mountains, small villages with simple but genuine life. It is worth visiting.
