KASSANDRA GULF (Gulf) HALKIDIKI
PELLA (Prefecture) MAKEDONIA CENTRAL
The presence of the imposing massif of Voras
(2,524m), Pinovo (2,145m), Tzena
(2,182m), Paiko (1,650m)
and Vermion (2,027m) creates
the ideal conditions for climbing and mountain hiking in the Prefecture of Pella.
The possibility of approaching inaccessible areas, usually undisturbed
by human intervention, the changing landscape and the variable level of difficulty
of the available paths constitutes a challenge for a lot of people.
The European Path E4/6, which starts from the Pyrennes and connects,
through a network of mountain paths, the European Countries of the Mediterranean
Sea, traverses Voras. The
crossing of the Ramno-Bor (Isso Pefko) gorge in the area of Loutra
Lourtakiou constitutes one of the most exciting mountain experiences, since
it leads to the springs of Agios Nikolaos current, where water and vegetation
compose a beautiful scenery.
Acknowledging the particularity and the potentials of the region,
many mountain associations form all over Greece,
organize "rambles" during the last years to the mountainous region of
Pella.

ALIAKMON (River) MAKEDONIA CENTRAL
PELLA (Prefecture) MAKEDONIA CENTRAL
In a place, which is well known for the affluence of superficial water
resources, water-sports win progressively more and more fans.
Until the end of the last decade, only the Yachting Clubs of Edessa
and Giannitsa made advantage
of the potential that the region offered, by training their athletes in Lake
Vegoritis and in the River Loudias.
Nowadays, new tourist products are offered, among which the descents
on kayak-rafting in the River Moglenitsas and boating in Lakes Vegoritis
and Agra-Nisiou-Vritton stand
out, which provide the potential of a closer contact with the nature for the visitor.
In addition, during the last years, a modern Rowing Center by the
River Loudias was created to cover the needs for sports, and also recreation,
and to become a new tourist pole.

MAKEDONIDA (Municipality) IMATHIA
KAIMAKTSALAN (Ski centre) EDESSA
At the foot of the mountain Voras and at a distance of 28 kilometers
from Edessa, the Windsport
Center of Macedonia-Thrace is located. It was founded in 1976 on the initiative
of the Aviation Club
of Edessa.
The ideal conditions for the exercise in wind sports that prevail,
with favorable upward currents for glidering and with dynamic currents in a mountainside
for parapente, contributed decisively to the international acknowledgement of
the Center and to the attraction of a considerable number of wind-sport fanatics
in the region.
One of the most important activities that the Aviation
Club of Edessa exercises is the operation of a pilot school, while the organization
of national championship contests of parapente, as well as the demonstrations
of acrobatic sail-flying and the famous "Kite Festival" on Shrove Monday
stand out.
The visitors have the opportunity to enjoy the unique thrills that
wind-sports offer, seizing the possibility even for a flight on a sailplane or
parachute, while all the preconditions for a pleasant stay are fulfilled in the
guesthouse of the Center and in the traditional facilities of the neighboring
villages.

KARIOTISSA (Small town) GIANNITSA
Six km northern of Kariotissa are situated the sports facilities of the Motorcyclists
Club. After a strenuous effort of the current president of the club, George Karabatakis,
was founded the "Motorcycle Sports Club of Kariotissa". The facilities
are well organized and an area of 20 km² which was given by the municipality of
Alexander the Great, is offered for parking the guests' vehicles. One of its greatest
advantages is the completely artificial speedway. Because the land is flat, there
are no natural hills or projections and the soil is arable. So, the safety of
the drivers, as well as their motorcycles is guaranteed. Nowadays, the club has
to show the organizing and successful holding of the Northern Greece Championship
finals of 2000 and 2001. The participation has arisen to 33 riders. It is emphasized
that the speedway of the "MSCK" was elected the best speedway in Northern
Greece in 2001. Today, the club is well known in whole Greece and enumerates 98
registered members.
