a wonderful day for Pozar: I strongly recommend bringing a bathing gown and flip-flops. the whole visit takes place in the open air so beware if you're a person who catches a cold easily. except for the changing rooms there are no houses available. there is only one open shower next to the pools. so there is no real option to wash yourself with soap. there are not enough lockers for everyone. I suggest bringing only the minimum for this day and/or store some stuff in the bus. the surrounding nature is just overwhelming. other participants said the restaurants were great. Edessa was beautiful yes, the day is long and the visits of the sights are compact but sufficient, but this is simply due to the distance from Thessaloniki. the trip is very well organized. our guide gave a lot of useful information and she was very relatable. the driver was very good - we had a safe and smooth journey. all in all I highly recommend this trip. it was stunning and full of beautiful memories.

A fantastic trip with our brilliant guide Margarita, and great driver Ilias. We learnt a lot about the area and thoroughly enjoyed a dip in the thermal pools at Pozar. Coach was clean and comfortable, and both guide and driver were informative and pleasant
