What people love about Greece Tours from Thessaloniki
- Escape to Thessaloniki, 3 Days
Very good hotel, very pleasant and helpful people. Visits to sites very informative and interesting. The only inconvenience was that the lack of efficient communication regarding the transfer arrangements from airport to hotel meant that I had to contact the emergency personnel to get a response.
- The Great Northern Traverse: Discover Meteora, Zagori And Prespes
Amazing tour with a great guide, can highly recommend. I only knew the Greek islands so far, so the main land was a revelation. It surprised me how beautiful and diverse the different locations were, from the mystical Meteora to very lucious canyon views, old stone bridge and some impressive lake sights. Our places to stay were so beautiful, with great authentic Greek food.
