Full description

Accompanied by our professional guide the day starts by leaving behind the Thermaic Gulf, passing by the lakes Koronia and Volvi, heading east through the beautiful route of the Castle of Rentina where the tragic poet Euripides left his final breath. Our first point of archaeological interest is the Acropolis of Ancient Stagera, the birthplace of the worldwide known philosopher Aristoteles teacher and mentor of Alexander the Great. After the guided tour our next stop is the small town of Ouranoupolis where we will have plenty of time to for shopping and lunch before and after our Athos Cruise. After a full day of impressions, we return back to Thessaloniki,

It’s a good trip. Guide was nice and positive, bus was clean and driving was safe. Maybe not the best timing in the program (maybe more time for hiking in Stagira or some stops on the lakes or in Stavros, too long for a cruise and it’s very crowded on the boat: you probably will not find a place to sit especially when the monks come to sell some of their products on the boat and around an hour for Uranopoli it’s not enough in my opinion if you want to enjoy your lunch and the beach — in this program you should choose). Anyway it was nice and comfortable. Thank you.

A fantastic day: our guide Demetra was AMAZING, she knew a lot of things, she knew the *right* things, knew when to tell us, was always there for us and a lovely person human-wise. The trip was well set, well organized, the places where fantastic. A must-do, you see things you normally don't menage to see! I would go every day!
