According to the Book of Acts, the Apostle of the nations, during his second tour, crossed Pieria.

About 28km from the north of Katerini at the old National Road Katerini-Thessaloniki, monuments of his passage remain to this day.

Persecuted from Veria, he reached the coast of Pieria on foot. He preached the Gospel of Christ in Kolindros, crossed the village of Methoni and completed his tour on the ancient port of Pydna, where he boarded a passenger ship for his final destination, Athens.
