Entrepreneurship

In Greece there are a lot of enterprises, that rent or hire bikes, motorcycles and cars. They are very  extensive and there is a possibility that we will find them in bigger  cities. If there are no companies in the area, that allow us to rent something, then we can use a local taxi, that will drive you where you want. Greece is a very big tourist resort, so the demand for communication services is very important for the country because the local community and also tourist need a fast and comfortable transport from point A to point B. If we decidde to travel by the sea we could rent a boat, kayak or a pontoon. A very comfortable option is choosing a ferry because of the fact that Greece is surrounded by the water from all sides. 

How to get to Pieria?

There are very many ways to get to Pieria. You can choose to travel by plane, ferry or classically by car. There is also the option to take up the challenge and hike. If we are going by plane, we need to find out from which airport and at what times the planes fly. The journey by boat is long and we are at risk of one of us getting seasick and it will not be a pleasant adventure. The drive takes about 18 hours (depending on where you start from in Poland) and is very exhausting. It will be a good idea to find an inn or hotel along the way to eat something warm and rest during the drive.

Cars

If you go to Pieria by car , it depends on where you start from. If you’re in Thessaloniki, simply use the A1/E75 motorway and you’ll be in Katerini, the main city in the region, in no time. And if you are from Athens, simply head north along the A1/E75 motorway or the E75 route along the coast. All in all, travelling around Greece by car is a pleasure, and the roads are so clearly signposted that there is no option for you to get lost
