Luna Park Katerina (couple trip)
How Couple-Friendly is Luna Park Katerina?
What makes it 74% Couple-Friendly: Sunset spin in the Ferris wheel, two-seat bumper cars and pirate ship create lighthearted shared moments, but the compact seaside fair lacks romantic dining or long shows, so stay is brief.
This place may be temporarily closed. Please check official sources before visiting.

Before that the boat had a discharged battery and could hardly move; dispit...
