Kalimera & welcome to Thessaloniki! Born and raised in Thessaloniki (with studies abroad), I know every corner of the city and can't wait to welcome you to Thessaloniki and show you my favourite people and places. Whether you are a foodie looking to explore the city's culinary scene, or just someone who loves to eat, joining one of our tours, is the perfect way to experience Thessaloniki's delicious food and drink. Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Thessaloniki is Greece's vibrant second city, mixing ancient history, rich culture, and modern allure. Nestled along the Aegean Sea, it's a tapestry of Macedonian roots, Byzantine grandeur, Ottoman influence, and contemporary Greek zest. With over 15 years of experience working in the outdoor tourism sector, combined with educational activities. Working both abroad and in Greece resulted in a new start, with the broader goal to promote our heritage and combine it with outdoor activities. Although having a degree in engineering the real passion was always the outdoors and guiding. Since 2006 im living in Greece where I have travelled and worked in numerous spots in the country. All my tours can be customised according to your requests.

Overview of your Thessaloniki tour

Discover the natural beauty of Lake Kerkini on a day trip from Thessaloniki. Explore the wetlands of the national park where the majority of Greece's bird wildlife exists. After being picked up from your preferred spot in Thessaloniki, drive for 1.5 hours through the beautiful landscape of the Serres agricultural area. Reach the first stop of the day, Lake Kerkini. Meet the boatmen of the lake and embark on a boat tour of the wetlands of the Kerkini National Park. Learn about the area's diverse bird species and mammals, and the local community that benefits from the lake's protection. Next, stop at a local pastry shop to taste some delicious products from buffalo's milk. Alternatively, we can go to a nice village for lunch. We can continue to a winery (optional) in the Serres rural area, where you can take a guided tour of the facilities and learn about the wine production process. Afterwards, we will return to Thessaloniki.
