One of the most interesting travel destinations in the attractive central Macedonia . Old neighbourhoods, exquisitely beautiful groves and fine wines. Naoussa is a city with history, interesting sights, special flavours, but also home to celebrated vineyards and wineries, making fine wines. One of the most interesting travel destinations in the already attractive central Macedonia region, gaining it the title “land of Xinomavro”. Nowadays, apart from the Xinomavro, the varieties Negoska, Naousseiko, Sefka, Prekniariko, as well as so-called Local Wines of Imathia are also grown in the area. Younger winemakers are also entering the field, slowly reviving the Naoussa wine-growing zone, which has been registered as a Protected Designation of Origin Zone. Xinomavro, of course, is still the finest red variety in northern Greece, making Naoussa one of the most famous wine-producing areas in all of Macedonia. It also retains the OPAP (Appellation of Origin of Superior Quality) designation.

What are people saying about Thessaloniki

Full-Day Trip to Meteora from Thessaloniki

NannaHartvig_J, Oct 2026

Highly recommended daytrip

We met up 8 AM and got picked up by the bus. We had the option to eat at 9 AM or just get coffee, very close to Mt. Olympus (bonus that we got to see this). Then we rode the bus to 2 different Monestaries. You don't need to bring a long skirt as a woman as thr monestaries provide this free of charge in the entrance. It was very interesting to get insight to the life of the munks and nuns. We also stopped at the most beautiful picture spot. Be careful if you are afraid of heights. Lunch was a bit late for my taste but the food was so good and the restaursnt had beautiful views. Then we rode back to Thessaloniki. I am very hsppy I got this experience. The time we had at each stop was fitting. Tip: Bring some entertainment for the bus trip since it is a lot of the day you will spend in a bus.

Gastronomic Food Tour in Thessaloniki with a Chef

Kevin_D, Oct 2026

Enjoy the experience

A fabulous day of learning the eating ways of Greeks and Thessaloniki folks. Different to other food tours we have done, but very informative, especially when it came to the cheeses. Wonderful cheeses. Our lunch was tasty and traditional and ended a great day.

Philippi and Kavala Private Apostle Paul Tour from Thessaloniki

Jeannine_M, Oct 2026

Excellent walk in the footsteps of St Paul

Vasili was on time to pick us up at the hotel. If you stay in Thessaloniki it’s about an hour’s drive to the Ancient Phillipi. We chose not to have a licensed guide which was fine as an audio guide is free for walking the ruins. Afterwards we went to the Baptistery of St Lydia. This is an amazing chapel with paintings of St Paul’s acts as recorded in the Book of Acts. A must is getting the book in the gift shop as it explains both the ruins, the chapel and the importance of Kavala. After lunch in Kavala we went back to Thessaloniki. If you have any faith/religious beliefs/education this is a must on your journeys.

Thessaloniki: Bus Trip to Dion & Mt Olympus National Park

Colin_P, Oct 2026

Nice tour....

Nice tour. The "hiking" portion is pretty short, though it has a lot of steps up and down (only an issue if you have very poor fitness or mobility issues). The "lunch" activity was pretty late in the day so we ate lunch in Dion in the park and hiked a bit of the gorge while every one had lunch. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly

Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom

Ian_H, Sep 2026

Excellent.

Excellent day trip . Informative guide : we visited Vergina first then Pella reversing the itinerary to avoid bottlenecks caused by anticipated roadworks on the return which worked very well ; just a 45 minute journey back from Pella . Plenty of time to view everything without being rushed : on this Ammon trip thankfully there was no unnecessary "stocking filler" ie wasted time swimming or restaurants ...Just the history and culture which for me is perfect. 16 on the trip . Recommended.

Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki to Meteora

Sheryl_P, Sep 2026

Absolute must see Meteora!

We had a marvelous day with Yannis! He has a wealth of knowledge about the area. We toured two of the five monasteries (though he was not allowed to go in with us as he is not licensed to guide here. Somewhat strange as we paid an extra $300 for a guided tour.) The monasteries are beautiful inside and out. The settings, high on the rocks, is amazing. Yannis then took us to a great restaurant for local food. We had a fantastic day!

Best of Thessaloniki: Tour by Local

Liz_C, Aug 2026

Do this tour!

Our private guided tour has been the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Vasileia, was knowledgeable and attentive. You could tell how passionate she was about history. Plus she was born and raised in Thessaloniki! She was flexible when we needed to stop for coffee (jet lag was tough!). We really felt like we got everything out of this tour! Highly recommend!

The Best Thessaloniki Shore Excursion with Port Pickup & Drop-off

Michala_O, Aug 2026

Customer service

First I want to say this excursion is everything! I actually missed it .. my fault .. but in trying to get me back to them from the wrong the location the operator running it helped way beyond. She was incredible and kind and never made me feel terrible for my mistake. Other cruisers went and said it was fun and lots of great information. The customer service is above and beyond!

Discover Olympus & Dion: Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki

Shayne_S, Jul 2026

Our tour guide, Bill, was...

Our tour guide, Bill, was exceptional. If it was not for Bill, the tour would have been just okay. He was very accommodating and always open-minded. He was above and beyond from start to finish. As for the tour itself, this is something I want to tell the tour owner that I was a little disappointed with the lineup of the tour stops. It was not much to see and who in the world would want to go see museums after museums? The ancient city of Dion was okay, but I would definitely skip it and maybe keep just one museum stop. I would also suggest starting from the Holy Monastery, adding Olympus lagoons and Litochoro tour, keep the Enipeas Waterfall stop. Thanks to Bill to still make this tour fun for us. Again, if it was not for him, I would not rate this experience 5 stars.

Thessaloniki: Greek Cooking Class, Market visit and Lunch

Mindy_R, Jul 2026

Great Tour

Really enjoyed our cooking class. Konstantina was an amazing guide. Really enjoyed walking through the market to get the food and talking. The cooking class itself was really fun and informative. Being in a restaurant with no one else there was really cool. Everyone was so nice, and the food was delicious.

Pozar Thermal Baths and Edessa Day Trip from Thessaloniki

Brittany_R, Jun 2026

My favorite tour in Greece so far.

I've traveled throughout Greece multiple times and this is BY FAR my favorite ever activity! If you loce mountains, alpine landscapes, places like Austria and Slovenia... then you will love Pozar. I recommend bringing your own towel, or have some cash on you, since towel rentals are cash only. Otherwise, definitely book this! I can't remember the guides name (archaeologist) but he was so friendly and helpful.

Meteora Experience: Private Day Trip from Thessaloniki

Ken_D, Jun 2026

An Amazing “Must Not Miss” Tour

Our full day tour to Meteora from Thessaloniki was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Our day started with an on time pick up from the Electra Palace hotel in downtown Thessaloniki. Our driver, Antonis Pouliasis, who speaks excellent English, greeted us warmly and welcomed us into his spacious and comfortable Mercedes van. During our drive to Meteora, he informed of history and geography of the area and pointing out areas of interest along the way. He made stops for photo ops and bathroom and snack breaks along the way. Once we arrived in Meteora, he personally guided us through two of the most significant and beautiful monestaries: St. Stephen’s and the great Meteoron Monestary. He shared insights throughout each tour. After many photo ops, he dove us to a tasty lunch spot in nearby Kalabaka before we headed back to Thessaloniki using a different but scenic route from which we could view Mount Olympus from the other side. We strongly recommend Antonis as a driver and a tour guide. He made our tour comfortable, informative and memorable.
