Your next stop is the traditional village of Peristera, where you will be able to join the locals for a coffee break. You will then have time for a little walk around, to visit the chapel of Saint Andrew, and to admire the architecture of the old buildings.

Exceptional service and experienced guide

Sarantis went well beyond expectations. He asked us about our preferences and gave us different options to choose from. The tour was customised to our wants and needs. He brought us to places in Greece and showed us a different side of Greece. And oh! Lunch was absolutely beautiful. Go to the restaurant up the mountain! We made that choice and it was the best choice ever. He even stayed with us well beyond the hours required just to send us to the airport at an appropriate time (not too early). I have so much more to say but not many characters left so I'm going to leave this review with these words: do it!

Diese individuelle Jeep-Safari mit Sarantis ist einmalig! Sarantis nimmt sich sehr viel Zeit für Erklärungen, zeigt einem wunderschöne geheime Orte und geht auf individuelle Wünsche ein. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an total wohl gefühlt und hatten zusätzlich das Gefühl, als wenn man mit einem guten Freund unterwegs ist. Die Tour ist sehr persönlich und ein wahres (Natur-)Erlebnis! Foto-Stopps sind selbstverständlich immer wieder möglich und ein schöner Moment folgte dem Nächsten. Das traditionelle griechische Essen in einer urigen Taverne war ein Höhepunkt von vielen. Ebenso wie der Besuch einer kleinen Kapelle auf über 1000 Meter mit einem fantastischen Panorama oder das Schwimmen im kühlen Meer. Also, worauf wartetest du noch?! Buche dieses individuelle Erlebnis und verbringe einen wundervollen Tag bei Thessaloniki, den du nicht mehr vergisst!
