The experience

You choose the experience: Mount Olympus and its four distinct zones, two Halkidiki beaches with swimming time at each, the Edessa waterfalls and Pozar thermal baths in one loop, a winery tasting of five local wines with views toward Mount Olympus, the Apostle Paul trail through Thessaloniki and into Halkidiki, a morning at a working farm milking goats and sheep, or horseback riding on a quiet property outside the city. The guide, who has spent 25 years in the region, arranges the route, timing and all the stops. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle and move at your own pace. Most experiences sit 1 to 1.5 hours from Thessaloniki, so the day stays unhurried.

The tour works for up to four people in one booking. Want to stack two experiences into a single day (say the farm visit in the morning and a beach afternoon) that's possible for an additional fee depending on what you combine and what's available. Larger groups can book on request. Water, coffee and Greek pies travel with you. Towels and an umbrella are provided. The guide speaks English and handles the details so you can focus on what you came to see.

Each experience runs roughly four to six hours depending on which one you choose. The winery closes on Greek holidays. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller. Service animals are welcome. The guide prioritizes your safety and comfort, which means the day stays relaxed rather than crammed.
