Greece · THESSALONIKI TOURS
Every trip has one spare day too few. These 15 thessaloniki tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide over a coffee and get back to the fun part.
Full-day Meteora trip from Thessaloniki with two monasteries, dramatic cliff views, and Kastraki taverna lunch, led by an English guide.
“Our guide Eleni was amazing, she has a very soothing voice. She was very helpful and full of information. The drive was pleasant and generally it was very interesting.”
A 10-hour day trip from Thessaloniki to Pozar Thermal Baths and Edessa Waterfalls, with time to soak, eat locally, and wander.
“Everything was great! The views were amazing, just wish we had another hour at the baths. But the tour guide and bus driver were incredible :) highly recommend!”
A full day from Thessaloniki to Dion, Mount Olympus Park, and Agia Kori waterfall pools, plus village time in Litochoro.
“Everything was well organised and our guide (Eva) was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. My son (age 10) is reading Percy Jackson and was so excited to see Mount Olympus. The trip didn’t disappoint and we found the climb fine to do. Would be tricky if you had a fear of heights to do Agia Kori part of climb. Dion was wonderful to see and we also really enjoyed the Mount Olympus centre, particularly the information about the Gods. It would have been great to have more time at Dion and the mount Olympus centre, as we didn’t see some parts at both. We’d have preferred to have…”
Ride Thessaloniki’s OTE Tower for rotating 360-degree views, plus a reserved 2-hour table with a light meal and drink, often with live piano.
“The view is amazing and with a spin you can see the whole city from above in an hour. You have a lot of time to enjoy the city view and not feel rushed. The food and the wine is also very good!”
Day trip from Thessaloniki to Pella and Vergina to see Philip II’s tomb, Golden Larnax, rare mosaics, and Alexander-era finds by Ammon Express.
“The trip was exactly as described. The only improvement is if it could include the palace above Vergina but there was insufficient time and even giving up lunch was unlikely to give time to walk around the excavated foundations. I liked that we were given a general description by the guide then time to ourselves, and Yiannis was happy to answer questions”
Full-day Meteora monasteries from Thessaloniki with an English guide, comfortable coach, big viewpoints, and a lunch stop in Kastraki/Kalambaka.
“Be prepared it’s a long day but so worth it Wear comfortable shoes lots of walking Lots to see Light a candle for you family”
Beach-hop and village strolls in Sithonia from Thessaloniki, with Karydi, Fava, Sarti, Porto Koufo, and Neos Marmaras in one day.
“The beaches in Sithonia were stunning, I would never have gone here had I not done this tour. Also with having the van and a driver we could go to some beautiful beaches where had I gone with my own car would have been a nightmare to find parking. All the beaches were different and it was fun to visit them all,”
See Thessaloniki in a day with an open-top hop-on hop-off bus, audio in 12 languages, and easy access to sights like the White Tower and Ano Poli.
“I liked the transport and the fact that all the stops are respected, even though I read comments that said it wasn't. The comment regarding the objectives is offset from the bus route. This should be improved.”
10-hour cruise from Thessaloniki to Halkidiki’s Blue Lagoon and Sithonia beaches for swimming, snorkeling, scenic island cruising, and a light lunch.
“The experience was unforgettable! I am grateful for the driver who picked us up as agreed and for the care that all the people involved took of us. The beaches that we visited are among the most beautiful I have ever seen. As I said earlier, this was an unforgettable experience, well worth the money and I will be doing it again next time for sure!”
Canyoning on Mount Olympus with trained instructors, hotel pickup, gear, and waterfall jumps and rappels for first-timers.
“The Activities were really good, excellent guidance from our instructors, it felt very professional. The setting is immense, beautiful, back to nature, there is no fuss, no sales pitch just full on fun. Minor negative is that we would have like the experience to last for longer, this is because it is such an excellent adventure. I would definitely recommend to anyone that hasn't done this type of activity before...”
Half-day sailing from Thessaloniki to Shipwreck Bay, swim at a 1970 wreck, enjoy captain-cooked Greek lunch and possible dolphins.
“Best lunch I have had in a sailing cruise. Excellent experience”
Thessaloniki day trip to Dion, Agia Kori waterfall, and Mount Olympus National Park, with a guide, Wi-Fi, and easy nature walks.
“Nice trip, full of history and beauty! The guide and bus driver were very kind and gave really nice information.”
Halkidiki Blue Lagoon cruise from Thessaloniki with AC bus, Ammouliani and Banana Beach lunch, and Diaporos swim stops.
“We were with a friend who had problems with his legs and couldn't walk. The Captain and his crew went out of their way to accommodate our friend and made arrangements at each of the stops to get him to the destination points. They were fantastic!”
Warm natural hot springs at Pozar, then Edessa waterfalls and a stroll in Varosi from Thessaloniki, with easy door-to-bus pickup.
“This was a relaxing tour for our final day in Thessaloniki. We had plenty of time to enjoy the thermal baths, which were absolutely relaxing. The lunch stop in the village of Orma was tasty, and the Edessa waterfall was beautiful (although be aware there are a lot of stairs involved with seeing the waterfall if you have mobility issues). There was also plenty of time to wander the town a bit and grab a snack if you wanted. The bus driver, Demetrios, was great (I couldn’t imagine navigating a bus in some of those tight spaces) and the guide, Stellos, was friendly and knowledgeable about the stops, with good…”
Thessaloniki open market food tour with tastings: Ladadika, bougatsa, olives, cheeses at Kapani and Modiano, plus Greek coffee.
“I had an unforgettable experience on the last day of my Greece food tour, thanks to the incredible food and our amazing guide, Elani. Her deep knowledge and patience made the journey so much more enriching, as she answered all our questions with grace and enthusiasm. Wishing her all the best in her future studies! The food itself was exceptional. We began by sampling delicious Greek olives, followed by creamy feta and a cheese similar to gouda. The pastry tastings were a highlight—*tiropita* (a savory cheese pie) and *bougatsa* (a sweet custard pie) were absolutely delicious. We also had the chance to try Greek Turkish delight, paired perfectly with rich,…”
Pick the day first, then pick the boat.
