Agios Athanasios

In the mountainous region of Pella, the village of Palaios Agios Athanasios is justifiably considered one of the most beautiful traditional settlements in the country. It has managed to evolve into a top winter destination. This is due to its traditional character, the stunning surrounding nature and the popular Kaimaktsalan ski resort.

Walking through the cobblestone streets of the village, among Macedonian houses and mansions built from hewn stone and wood with beautiful tiled roofs, you feel as if you are travelling back in time. However, the bustling activity, stone-built hotels, warm guesthouses, picturesque taverns, charming cafes and small shops bring you back to the present.

In Palaios Agios Athanasios, they have succeeded in harmoniously blending the contemporary and modern with the traditional color and style of an earlier era, offering high-standard services to visitors, from accommodation and dining to outdoor activities.
