Springtime in Greece: the pink from the peach trees of Imathia

The area is on the list of the 10 most blooming places in the world.
Every spring the plain of Imathia is transformed into a vast sea of pink.The peach tree, in Eastern traditions, is considered “the Tree of Life of the Earthly Paradise” that provides people with life and joy.
The dominant color at first sight is the deep pink and red, while the green leaves of the trees complete the magnificent setting.
Every year on the occasion of the bright colors of Spring, there are actions and events, such as bike rides, a photography contest, for both amateurs and professionals. It is an occasion for residents and visitors to get close to nature and enjoy the unique landscape.
