Temperature and rain: NASA POWER (MERRA-2), period 2001–2020, model cell about 22 km away. The temperatures are monthly averages from a regional model. Sea: NOAA OISST v2.1, period 1991–2020, nearest cell about 32 km away (0.25 degree grid). Daylight: calculated for the 15th of each month. These are regional model values and typical conditions, not a forecast.

Getting there and around
The nearest mapped transport points in a straight line. The data holds no timetables or journey times; where an official source exists it is linked below.
| Kind | Name | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Airport | Thessaloniki International Airport "Macedonia" (SKG) (in Thermi Municipality, across the water) | 14.5 km |
| Ferry terminal | Θεσσαλονίκη | 2.4 km |
| Railway station | Βενιζέλου | 1.7 km |
| Bus station | ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ | 1.5 km |
| Bus stop | ΑΓΙΟΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΣ | 98 m |
Rows marked "across the water" have no mapped option on the same side of the water within the search distance. The straight line crosses water, so the real journey is longer and may need a ferry or a long detour.

Context from the map
The same facts the Katatopisi map shows for the settlement's point, in the same words. They are regional data, not a survey or a safety guarantee.
| Topic | What is recorded |
|---|---|
| Flooding (YPEN hazard maps) | Outside mapped flood areas; nearest is 2.1 km away |
| Wildfires | 1 recorded fire within 5 km (EFFIS, 2016–2026). Nearest burnt area: 13 Jul 2021 (9 hectares), 2.1 km away |
| Earthquake hazard (ESHM20) | Expected ground shaking: 0.28g · moderate. The figure is for rock; soft ground shakes harder. |
| SEVESO sites | EKO ALEXANDROS – lower tier, 4.8 km away |
Maps cover designated high-risk zones only, and only the low-probability scenario (1-in-1000 years); scenarios for more frequent floods are not included. “Outside” does not mean “safe”.
Mean peak ground acceleration with a 10% chance of being exceeded in 50 years (the 475-year return period), from the European ESHM20 model. It is a regional figure, not a ground study for this plot.
Fires: EFFIS (Copernicus), areas of roughly 30 hectares and above; the dates in our data run 2016–2026. Smaller fires do not appear.
2021 zone price
The point lies in a zone with a tax value of 1,150 € per m² (objective value system, 2021).
2021 tax zone price (the objective value system), not a market price; market prices are usually higher. A property's official value applies coefficients for floor, age and frontage.
