5 Days Northern Greece with Meteora, Delphi, Vergina and Thessaloniki

Description

Nestled in the heart of the Thermaic Gulf, Thessaloniki is easy to fall in love with. It has beauty, chaos, history and culture, remarkable cuisine and wonderful, vast sea views. Ever since the 4th c. BC when it was founded, Thessaloniki has kept its urban character and has remained a civic centre and the hub of that region.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS 

Meteora: In a region of almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks settled on these 'columns of the sky' from the 11th century onwards.

Thessaloniki: The city’s multicultural history has been associated with great empires, as it has known the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Rule.

Macedonia: Visit Edessa with its famous waterfalls and discover the cities with rich historical and cultural past. Visit the unique Museum covering the royal tombs of Macedonia in Vergina and the Archaeological Park of Dion in Pella.
