Leptokarya

Leptokarya occupies a coastal strip between Mount Olympus and the Thermaic Gulf in Pieria, Macedonia. The town faces east across the gulf, while the lower slopes of Greece’s highest mountain rise immediately inland, shaping a place where a long beach and mountain country sit close together. Leptokarya lies on the main rail corridor between Thessaloniki and Athens. Nearby ancient Leivithra, traditionally associated with Orpheus, preserves the remains of an ancient settlement in an archaeological park. The approaches to Olympus National Park are close by, leading towards the mountain’s forests and ravines. Discover further points of interest through webcams across Pieria and the Olympus region.
