3 May - Travel Day

The day was essentially a travel day from Kozani to Katerini... with a little bit of rest at the end of the day.

We travelled  across the Aliakmon River and then through the mountains via the Servia Pass. Katerini is a coastal town that overlooks the Aegean Sea.  So Karen even got to stay at a beach resort (sort of).  Our room had a generous view of the Aegean!  I'll be trading on this for a while!!

During the 'rest time', Karen and I went for a walk around the town.  There were a stack of tourist shops... with the usual: statuettes of Greek Gods; religious icons; Hellenic/Spartan mini-helmets; flags; evil eyes; and other trinkets! There were an unusual number of fur shops... which seemed out of place at the beach! Whatever!
