Beyond the city
Thessaloniki is truly fascinating, but if you venture outside of it, you will discover that the surrounding area is also rich with places to explore and things to see and do. From pristine beaches with crystal clear waters to breathtaking mountain vistas, wine tasting extravaganzas to thousandyear-old monasteries, sailing or kitesurfing to mountaineering and ski-touring on Mt Olympus, historical sites to crazy carnivals, Macedonia and its neighboring regions can please even the pickiest of wanderers.
