Overview

The Salonica View team is organizing a one-day hiking trip to the historical Ancient Mines trail on Mount Agistro. Visit the thermal baths of Agistro!

A few words about our trip:

We will start by bus from Thessaloniki and at a distance of approximately one hour and thirty minutes from our city, we will arrive at the village of Agistro. Our hike will start from the baths of Agistro and we will head towards the entrance of the Metaxas trail. Then we will continue our journey until we reach the ancient mines, leaving the Metaxas trail on our right. The route is easy and pleasant with short uphills, clearings for panoramic photos, and beautiful nature. The wider area was in the past one of the most important metallurgy centers in Northern Greece. After the end of our hike, we will have time to relax in the thermal baths for anyone who wishes (entrance to the baths is not included in the price) and then we will have time for lunch in Agistro.

Points of interest:

Agistro Baths: Its stone Byzantine bath (or hammam) was built in 950 AD and is considered one of the oldest in Greece. The thermal bath experience awaits us with the hot water of the stone Byzantine bath-hammam. The hot water offers relaxation, relief, and well-being to our bodies.
