The Salonica View alternative tourism office organizes a one-day excursion and hikes to one of the most beautiful gorges in Greece, the Stravopotamos Gorge.
A few words about our excursion:
We will start early by bus from Thessaloniki. From there, after two hours, we will reach Mount Paiko. At this point, the mountain guide and leader of the expedition will talk to us about the route the group will follow.
