1. Thessaloniki (City)
Stay
About the destination: Thessaloniki, one of the oldest big cities in Europe and the second largest city in Greece. It stretches over twelve kilometres in a bowl formed by low hills facing a bay that opens into Thermaikos Gulf. It is a thriving city and one of the most important trade and communications centres in the Mediterranean. The great fire of 1917 destroyed a large part of the city's historic centre, and further damaged was caused by a large earthquake in 1968. Nevertheless, there are countless examples of the city's rich history and many cultures, albeit hidden among the post-1917 development. This patchwork of building has produced an incredible blend of styles that are very unique to Thessaloniki. Roman monuments abut modern university campuses, modernist buildings face mediaeval churches and Ottoman structures will soon cap the tunnels of Thessaloniki's newest addition, the subway. The city authorities have done much to preserve the condition of the cultural heritage and one can only imagine that more will be done to ensure that it is not only a permanent part of the city's landscape but also that it is well explained and accessible to locals and visitors alike. Thessaloniki's greatness, however, is not just in its standing structure. This city is truly alive and not just in the sense of massive traffic or lots of construction. The people here like to express themselves out in the open and it is hard to spend time here without seeing some of the authentic and indigenous culture of the city. Plateia Aristotelou has some open air concerts during the summer, but there are also spontaneous gatherings that give visitors insight into the lives of ordinary Salonicans. Students spend time in front of the Rotunda strumming their guitars at night and the Roman Agora is sometimes the site of plays or shows organized by various groups in the city. Every two years this cultural flourishing takes the form of the biennale of contemporary art, the highlight of the city's artistic community's calendar. Byzantine churches, Roman constructions, Muslim buildings, modern architecture, intensive nightlife and stunning beaches are the essence of Thessaloniki. Being the second largest city in Greece, Thessaloniki combines more than 2,300 years of history with every facility and excitement that a modern European city can offer a visitor.

About the destination: Exploring Skopelos: The Emerald of the Aegean Introduction to Skopelos Nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Skopelos is a verdant oasis that beckons travelers with its lush landscapes and azure waters. As the largest island of the Northern Sporades archipelago in Greece, Skopelos offers an enchanting blend of natural beauty, traditional Greek culture, and serene tranquility. The island, often referred to as the "Emerald of the Aegean," is an idyllic destination for those seeking to escape the bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in a picturesque and authentic Grecian atmosphere. Discovering the Charm of Skopelos Town The journey into the heart of Skopelos begins in its vibrant capital, Skopelos Town (Chora), where pastel-colored houses cascade down the hillside towards the harbor like a living amphitheater. The town is a labyrinth of narrow, winding cobblestone streets, brimming with bougainvillea, quaint cafes, and charming boutiques selling local handicrafts. Visitors can explore the ancient ruins of the Venetian fortress that stands sentinel over the town, offering panoramic views of the island and the sparkling Aegean beyond. As the sun sets, the waterfront comes alive with the sounds of traditional Greek music, and the aroma of freshly grilled seafood entices diners to the numerous tavernas lining the shore. Beaches and Natural Beauty Skopelos is a sanctuary for beach lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. The island's coastline is dotted with stunning beaches, ranging from secluded coves to organized stretches with amenities. One of the most famous beaches, Kastani, gained international fame as a filming location for the movie "Mamma Mia!" and continues to allure visitors with its crystal-clear waters and pine-fringed backdrop. For those willing to venture off the beaten path, the hidden beach of Agios Ioannis offers a more tranquil experience, with its striking rock formations and mesmerizing sunsets. Beyond the beaches, the island's interior is a haven for hiking, with trails leading through dense forests of Aleppo pine and olive groves, revealing ancient monasteries and timeless vistas along the way. Cultural Highlights and Local Flavors Skopelos is a treasure trove of cultural experiences. The island's rich history is reflected in its numerous churches and chapels, some dating back to the Byzantine era. The folklore museum in Skopelos Town provides a glimpse into the island's past, showcasing traditional costumes, tools, and artwork. Gastronomy is a cornerstone of the Skopelite experience, with local dishes featuring an abundance of fresh seafood, Skopelos cheese pie (tiropita), and plums - a local specialty. Savor the flavors of the island by partaking in a cooking class, or enjoy a glass of the local wine as you mingle with friendly locals in a village square under the Mediterranean stars. Skopelos is more than just a destination; it is an experience that captivates the soul with its mystical charm and offers a journey back to a simpler, more enchanting time. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural enrichment, this Greek island paradise is sure to provide an unforgettable escape.
