“Our guide George was really amazing. A local Athenian his whole life, he knows all about the country, economics, locations to see and food to eat. He remembered each of our names and I could not recommend him more! I would use him everywhere we go if I could :) The lake was beautiful and very peaceful. You can order drinks and food next to the water. But the water was very cold this time of year so might not be worth the $20 per person price. Definitely bring a towel cause they rent them for $40 a piece! Cape Sounion was beautiful but need to make the time to…”

Travel from central Thessaloniki to Pozar’s mineral-rich hot springs, then continue to Edessa’s dramatic waterfalls. English-speaking guides such as Eva, Eleni, Lazarus, and Yannis lead the day, with free time for bathing, walking, photos, and a traditional lunch.

“This is a great day trip. Very well run. The theme is water with the warm light-blue springs of Pozar to the spectacular Pella waterfall. The spring baths are soothing, but the management is illogical, so expect that. There are numerous views of the waterfall. Hiking paths surround it. We even saw a rainbow. Our guide Eleni was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all our needs. She's a star. She was ably assisted by Giorgios. Highly recommend this tour!”

“The event, overall, was worth it. It was a very long day so make sure that you bring sneakers for the volcanic trails. The tour consists of visiting volcanic islands and a we had about 1.5 hours to swim. At the end, we returned to the dock and traveled to Oía via bus. Oía is a FANTASTIC picturesque city with mind boggling views and fantastic sunsets. The boat captain nor the tour guide were very informative. For example, when we went to the bus none of us were informed that we were going to Oía. We were barely given any instructions. Bottom line, it was a great experience and with…”
