Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Lac Doïran
Lake Doiran stretches its calm waters between Greece and Northern Macedonia, in a landscape of reeds, boats and low hills. On the Greek side, the interest is mainly due to morning lights, birds of wetlands and the discreet border atmosphere, rather than to a monumental visit.
Town or village
Thessalonique
Thessalonique mixes seafront, covered markets, Byzantine churches, Roman remains and high districts facing the Thermaic Gulf. The city has a very urban energy of the Greek north, with late cafes, solid museums and easy road access to the Chalcidic.
Town or village
Tour blanche
The Tour blanche serves as a landmark on the waterfront, between sea promenade, bicycles, cafes and the horizon of the Gulf. Thessalonique by periods, while the summit gives a clear view of the lower town, the docks and the distant mountains.
Town or village
Ano Poli
Ano Poli keep the ancient heights of Thessalonique, with ramparts, low houses, sloping alleys and long sea views. The neighborhood is suitable for quieter walks, between taverns, Byzantine churches and passageways where the modern city seems to remain below.
