Good afternoon, I rested in this hotel 3 years ago .. though 3 days in total. I like the location, view of Mount Olympus. Liked the food at the hotel. Near especially nowhere taverns, bars, cafes. If you walk along the promenade, there are many beach bars. It is 30 km to Paralia Katerinis .. and sometimes you have to wait a long time for a taxi .. Excursions from this place are cheaper than from Chalkidiki, Meteora-Olympus-Vergina. With fur coats they are in the nearest town of Paralia Katerinis, but be sure to CAREFULLY check the quality.. there are a lot of Chinese fur coats.. the price is good, but the quality leaves much to be desired. I have friends who live in Paralia Katerinis, and from their words, I know that only 3 stores sell Greek fur coats there, the rest are from China ... Therefore, be careful, check completely, the lining, so as not to "get in".))) )

Diana, thank you, A-YOU are my savior! I would like to know more about fur coats, can you clarify the names of the stores? And do they accept cards for payment, I don’t want to carry cash.
What can you see in Thessaloniki?

Good afternoon again, ... honestly I won’t lie, I don’t know the name .. you can just ask around the "natives" in Paralia. Regarding Thessaloniki, the factories of the city of Kastoria were also closed there. There is in the city of Kalikratia (30 km) from Thessaloniki, this is Chalkidiki. Or the city of Kastoria itself. It’s just that in Greece at the legislative level it is written that only the city of Kastoria can live fur coats, and the skins that are imported should only be of the Alpha and Betta categories, Gamma fur, it is forbidden to bring to Greece, just the same Gamma fur is bought by China, this is a lower grade of fur. But fur coats can be sold anywhere, and therefore finished fur coats are brought from China. They are guaranteed not in Kastoria (200 km from Thessaloniki), and once again I repeat in Kalikratia there are official representatives from fur factories. As a rule, our shuttles bring fur coats from Paralia Katerinis, and they don’t even hide the fact that this is China, only they go to Kastoria for exclusive models.

There are a lot of fur shops in Nea Kalikratia, from the central square perpendicular to the embankment there is a whole street of fur salons. It is better to go by yourself, without the services of an escort from TA, a hotel guide, etc. Choose stores where the owners are Greeks, and not our fellow countrymen, it has been noticed that it will be more pleasant for you and your wallet. You can bargain with the Greeks. Moreover, if the owner is not in the cabin, then the Greeks can quietly immediately name the final amount that the owner has designated for them and below which they cannot go down. The Greeks are a little lazy and they do not really want to bargain for a long time. Checks are always issued. Cards are accepted even by the smallest salons, even surprisingly, despite the fact that Nea Kalikratia is, by our standards, a small regional center. Often the Greeks honestly show Chinese fur coats (they are also there), and the difference between a Chinese fur coat and a Kastorevsky one. There is nothing special to hide, some shuttles themselves ask for Chinese cheap stuff for resale from us, if only it would be cheap. So don't be afraid of anything. Happy shopping and happy holidays!

Question - how to get to Nea Kalikratia? I heard - that you can only pay in cash, your info about the card - VERY helped out. And the order of prices? I want a fur coat. Will I fit in 1.5 tons of euros?

Good morning! You can get to Nea Kalikratia either by taxi, but it's expensive. And by bus through Thessaloniki, and from Thessaloniki 30 km, also by bus. Another option is to rent a car. As for the prices ... they are different, like the prices for a car. In general, they should fit into a classic mink, most likely without a hood. The prices are so different, for example, a short auto-lady can cost 5 thousand euros, and 1 thousand euros. The cost of a fur coat is formed by a lot of factors: where the fur was brought from, who sewed it, the color of the skin, female or male, the moment of exclusivity, the number of skins, how much was spent on the fur coat, the rarer the fur is found in nature, the more expensive the fur coat. You can meet 1.5 tons .. it can be cheaper, but will it be your fur coat?))) Therefore, it’s better to take more, and accordingly you will also have more choice. Cards are accepted, checked on yourself.

Diana is right. 1.5 tons is the lowest limit, it is up to the knee and this is without a hood. Tune in at least 1800-2000 euros. Still, you buy non-beach slippers for one season. Yes, and more. Do not forget that 1500 euros is the amount of the purchase that is not taxed when crossing our border. Therefore, if you buy a fur coat for 2000 euros, take 2 checks, one of which will be for 1500 euros, this is also important in disputes with customs. The Greeks will divide the amount for you at least 4 checks)))
Do not mess with buses, rent a car for a couple of days, you will see a lot, buy a lot and you will be free as a bird. Have a nice rest!

thank you, now i'm ready to go
about beach slippers, I agree:) a fur coat is not for 1 season.
The car - unfortunately, is not an option, but without rights, with only responsibilities, but I'll figure out how to get there, maybe everything will be nearby.
I won’t buy it, but I’ll rest, I’ll see, it’s my first time in Greece. There will be something to do.

As for the fries for fur coats, there are none for fur coats. The fact is that the skins that are imported are not subject to VAT, because they are originally intended for export, and not for domestic use, therefore, they do not go free (VAT refund) from fur coats. Other products, jewelry, you need to ask in the store, even many say that there is tach fries. )))
