The Salonica View team organizes a one-day hiking trip to the Bathres of Metamorfosis in Naoussa to welcome the summer with a dip in a beautiful place.
A few words about our excursion:
at a distance of about an hour and a quarter from Thessaloniki near the forest and agricultural lands of the communities of Giannakochori and Rodochori of the prefecture of Imathia, we come across the settlement of Metamorfosis, a village a few kilometers away from 3-5 Pigadia. We will hike through a shady forest, between tall beech trees. Also on our route, we will see pedestals with crystal clear waters and wonderful waterfalls. There will also be time for a bath for those who wish. On the trail, we will have the opportunity to see the tunnel through which the British Decauville train passed, which carried timber until 1921. After the end of our hike, we will board the bus and head to Saint Nikolaos Naoussa where we will have free time for lunch and coffee. From there, after a day full of wonderful memories, we will take the road back to our beautiful Thessaloniki!
