Macedonia

The water element is constantly present with some of the most important rivers and lakes in Greece flowing through the region of Macedonia.
Visit the metropolis of the North, Thessaloniki, with an intriguing multi-ethnic history and its arty culture. It is a upbeat modern city, bustling with energy and verve, built amphitheatrically, with its seafront facing Mount Olympus on the distant horizon. The city has always been a hub of different civilizations, cultures, nations and religions.

Traditional Epirus
The Epirus region is located in NW Greece, between the Pindos mountain range and the Ionian Sea. Pindos Mountain with its virgin forest, its numerous slopes and its Dragon Lakes (the mythical alpine lakes) open handedly offer you a plethora of activities such as mountaineering, climbing, ski, hiking, mountain biking etc. in a scenery of singular beauty. Moreover, the rivers of Epirus will offer other activities such as kayak, rafting, canoeing etc. Arachtos River is considered as one of the most beautiful and challenging rivers for kayaking, while Voidomatis runs through the impressive Vikos Gorge. All of the above co-exist in harmony with the archaeological sites, castles, monasteries, churches and traditional villages.
Cross the historic stone bridges of Epirus, where legends and local traditions leave their mark on these architectural masterpieces. Explore Dodoni, the famous oracle of ancient times; pay a visit to Dodoni’s famous Theater, the largest in antiquity and finally taste some of the most delicious feta, the cheese par excellence of Greece!
Thessaly
Enjoy Thessaly, a region of sheer beauty with mountains, rivers, beaches, the popular Plastira Lake, the valley of Tempi, and last but not least the most photogenic spiritual site in Greece, Meteora.
Standing over the city of Volos, like a sleepless guardian, Mt Pelion is breathtaking throughout the year. This mountain is home to 24 stone-built villages, which are set against an idyllic backdrop of olive groves that shimmer in the sunlight, dense forests and lush fruit orchards. Visit Volos, known as the city of the Argonauts (band of heroes who went with Jason in the ship Argo to fetch the Golden Fleece).
Central Greece
Central Greece, known as Roumeli, is part of the Greek mainland and has been inhabited since antiquity. There are forested mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, rich fauna and flora and remarkable archaeological sites. Visit the archaeological site of Delphi and the Oracle of God Apollo, picturesque seaside towns of Galaxidi and Itea, as well as beautiful Nafpaktos of great historical importance. The lagoon of Messolonghi, the largest Greek wetland, is a natural paradise that includes islets, dunes, forested banks and a rich flora and fauna that provide salt and fish to the locals. But the most precious gift of nature here is bottarga, in Greek avgotaracho, one of the few seafood products with a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) award, a delicacy deriving from the eggs of the female grey mullet.
