Visit The Fairyland Village Of Nymfaio

Nymfaio is a traditional, charming destination on Mount Vernon, located at an altitude of 1,350 meters, that you can visit year-round. Considered one of the ten most picturesque villages in Europe, according to UNESCO, this stunning fairytale town, surrounded by a forest, features stone houses and cobblestone streets.

Do Some Birdwatching At Lake Prespes

A beautiful remote area, the lakes of Megali Prespa and Mikri Prespa have been preserved due to their location – it’s not a heavily visited destination. The area is a national park, with an information center in the village of Agios Germanos. A bird lover’s paradise, Mikri Prespa is home to an array of birds including egrets, cormorants, pelicans, and herons. It is an ideal retreat for the weary soul in need of isolation and relaxation. http://instagram.com/p/BBpi2wsHXnL/

Explore Halkidiki’s Peninsula

Halkidiki (Chalkidiki) is probably one of the most beautiful regions in Macedonia. This unique area of Greece comprises three peninsulas (Kassandra, Sithonia, and Agion Oros, or Mount Athos) extending into the Aegean Sea. Although somewhat similar, they all have differences. While Kassandra boasts a rich history with various archaeological sites, pristine sandy beaches, lush forests, and a vibrant nightlife, Sithonia is the low-key area with fewer tourists and luxuriant vegetation. Agion Oros, better known as Mount Athos, is a monastic independent state where women and children are forbidden to enter. Ouranopolis, at the border, is in stark contrast to the religious community.
