Korinos (Greek: Κορινός) is a town and a former municipality in Pieria regional unit, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Katerini, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] The municipal unit has an area of 70.909 km2, the community 30.726 km2.[3] Korinos has approximately 4,500 residents and it is located 5 km northeast of the city of Katerini (Κατερίνη), the capital of Pieria. The A1 motorway (Athens–Thessaloniki–Evzonoi) is situated to the west. Korinos is famous for its beaches -lying to its east- and hotels in the area, which make the village an ideal place for tourism.
Additionally, Korinos has a public library since 2006.
Korinos became famous in Greece, after an economic scandal (during 2000) concerning the distribution of building grounds from Korinos' municipality to the villagers.
In Fascist Italy, rumours that the people of Korinos had "supernatural faculties" were taken seriously by some Italian racial theorists, who believed the town's inhabitants had successfully predicted the Italo-Ethiopian War.[4]
