Day 3 Thessaloniki
After an engaging couple of days, opt to spend the day at leisure, or perhaps schedule some well-deserved downtime to laze in the ethereal thermal baths of Pozar by joining a local day trip tour. Situated at the base of Mount Kaimaktsalan, the supreme setting of this hot spring river means you will be enveloped into an area of striking rock formations, gushing waterfalls and lush flora.

From there, walk past the awe-inspiring Arch of Galerius and continue into the world of the Byzantium, by being dazzled by cultural gems within the Museum of Byzantine Civilisation. Eleven galleries of sculptures, icons, artifacts and jewellery make up the significant collection. Afterwards, treat yourself to a sumptuous gyros or souvlaki for lunch in the enchanting Ano Poli old town area, home to charming cobblestone alleys, traditional stone houses and remarkable Ottoman-era monuments.
Day 5 Thessaloniki
Savour your final morning in this extraordinary city by picking up a few souvenirs in the quaint Ladadika district, a vivid hotspot of shops and eateries, before transferring back to the airport for your flight home. Why not extend your trip with a stay at a Halkadiki beach resort?
