Hello my friends! This is another short post of a beautiful place in Greece!
Today I’m giving you the castle of Platamonas, in Pieria, Central Macedonia. The castle was built in the 10th century AD on a strategic site binding Macedonia and Thessaly. It is open for daily visits and even though you may find the ascending tiring the view will definitely make it up to you.
We chose to visit it in early spring, so the sun didn’t give us a hard time. The sky was blue on that day, but clouds would make their appearance and hide the sun from time to time giving it wonderful patterns.
When reaching the top of the hill...
We entered the castle...
And wandered around the ruins...
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a guide to show us around, but there were informative signs for those interested to pick a few glimpses on the place’s long history.
Our land is blessed! Whose soul wouldn’t feel calm in front of this sight?
I hope you liked this short tour I gave you today!
