Korinos (Greek: Κορινός) is a town and a former municipality in Pieria regional unit, Greece.
[3] Korinos has approximately 4,500 residents and it is located 5 km northeast of the city of Katerini (Κατερίνη), the capital of Pieria.
Korinos is famous for its beaches -lying to its east- and hotels in the area, which make the village an ideal place for tourism.
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] Although the word "Korinos" does not have any meaning in the Greek language and its origin is unknown, there are several different explanations for this name.
