'''Katerini''' (Greek: ''Κατερίνη'') is a town in Northern [[Greece]], the capital of [[Pieria prefecture]]. It lies on the Pierian plane, between [[Pierian Mountains|Mt. Pierus]] and [[Thermian Gulf|Thermaikos Gulf]], on an altitude of 14-45 m. The town has a population of 56,576 (according to the 2001 [[census]]). It is near the city of [[Thessaloniki]], the second largest city of Greece, which has been beneficial for Katerini's development over the last years. Katerini is accessed with [[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]] with three interchanges and is accessed with [[Via Egnatia]] to the north.

A popular tourist destination, Katerini is very close to the sea (6 km.), to several archaeological sites of great interest like the ancient city of [[Dion, Macedonia|Dion]] ([[5th century BC]], 17 km. away) and the Venetian castle of [[Platamon]]. The beaches of [[Korinos]], [[Paralia (Pieria), Greece|Paralia]] and [[Olympiaki Akti]] (or ''Katerinoskala'') are very popular during summer.

The town's name stems from [[Catherine of Alexandria]] (''Agia Aikaterini''), a Greek [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Orthodox]] Martyr, who lived in [[4th century]] A. D. It was liberated from the Ottomans on [[October 16]], [[1912]] in the [[First Balkan War]]. It was captured by the German army on [[April 14]], [[1941]] and was liberated three years later.
