Canon EOS Digital System
Plomari is located due south of Mount Olympos.
Plomari is located due south of Mount Olympos.
It offers scenic appeal as well as the presence
of its famous ouzo distilling industry.
Among several local brands,
Varvayianni is the most famous but Yiannatsi,
Arvanitou and Pitsiladi are thought to be its equal.
They can all be sampled at the traditional kafenia.
The local festival (or "panigiri") season kicks off
in mid-July with an ouzo festival,
and culminates towards the end month in celebrations honouring Agios Haralambos
and including such rural activities as horse race.
The seaside summer resort of Agios Isidoros
lies on the east,
two kilometers far from Plomari,
while picturesque Ammoudeli is located on the west.
Agios Isidoros has been voted as the seventh
best beach of Greece,
in a voting that took place through the internet
for the program of clean coasts.
West of Plomari 6 km away you can reach Melinda,
a 700-metre sand-and-shingle beach
at the mouth of a canyon choked with olive trees.
It is an alluring place, with sweeping views west towards the Vatera coast
and the cape of Agios Fokas.
Another great beach is Tarti,
about 22 km from Plomari,
is a 400-metre-wide cove.
Rocky capes gird it to either side,
and the water in the bay is unique
in colour and clarity.
