The alternative tourism office Salonica View organizes a one-day excursion and hiking in one of the most beautiful gorges of Greece, the gorge of Enipeas.
A few words about our trip:
We will start early with a bus from Thessaloniki. Specifically, we will start from Eastern Thessaloniki from Voulgari outside Everest. The second stop will be at the statue of Venizelos in Aristotelous Square and the third stop from Western Thessaloniki and One Salonica. From there, after two hours, we will reach the Monastery of Agios Dionysios. At this point, the mountain escort and leader of the mission will talk to us about the course that the team will follow. Then, we will start our journey from the Monastery of Agios Dionysios and we will descend until we reach Litochoro where the team bus will be located. But before boarding and departure for Thessaloniki, there will be time for food and rest.
