Agios Nikolaos park is a Panhellenic Tourist Recreation Center just 4 kilometers away from the city. An earthly paradise in the heart of the Prefecture of Imathia. A breath of life against ecological downgrading.
An overall of 15 acres of the most beautiful land draw life from the springs of the historical and, in many ways, precious river of Arapitsa. The park of perennial plane trees, which is unique in Greece, impresses the visitor at all seasons.
