Hello, travelers. My name is Sonia. I live in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Philology and a Master’s Degree in Applied Linguistics. My studies were interdisciplinary and took place in the Schools of Philosophy in two Greek Universities (Ioannina and Thessaloniki) and included various aspects of classical studies such as ancient Greek and Latin literature, general linguistics, the ancient Greek and Latin languages, history, art, and other related fields. During my university years, I also immersed myself in the culture, history, and ontology of modern Greece, which I consider integral in understanding the Greek psyche. I am a graduate of the two-year School of Tourist Guides of the Greek Ministry of Tourism. I deeply love interacting with people, and this is one of the main reasons I love being a guide so much. I additionally really enjoy sharing with travelers the culture of Greece, which includes history, archaeology, art, literature, food, music, and many more things. I really love nature, animals, music, and all other forms of art. I will be very happy to discuss with you various ideas about tours we can have together. Customizing tours that match the interests of travelers is one of the things I find very important when guiding, also. I invite you to explore Northern Greece with me. I promise it will be an unforgettable experience.

Overview of your Thessaloniki tour

This is a tour to remember. We begin in Thessaloniki and travel to Mount Olympus, the legendary home of the ancient Greek gods. Our first stop is the ancient Macedonian city of Dion, considered by many to be the most beautiful archaeological site in Greece, thanks to its unique natural setting. We will explore the ruins and visit the Museum of Dion to better understand the city’s history and religious importance. From there, we continue to Orlias Gorge on Mount Olympus, where, weather permitting, we will enjoy a short walk and admire its impressive waterfalls. The day concludes in the picturesque village of Litochoro, nestled at the foothills of Olympus, with free time to relax and enjoy a lunch break if you wish.
