With Dan I made 2 tours and that is because I met him only some days before he leaves Greece to continue his journey. We visited the ancient city of Dion and the Mt. Hortiatis together. (more…)

Their base was Thessaloniki because Cedric have been there during his Erasmus studies back in 2009. So, we helped them plan their 9 days-trip from scratch, find accommodations according to their budget and personal style, make their transportations easy and independent and enjoy the hidden gems of the areas they visited.
