The Salonica View alternative tourism office organizes a one-day excursion and hike to one of the most beautiful gorges in Greece, the Stravopotamos Gorge and a visit to the Goumenisa Winery

We will start early by bus from Thessaloniki and after about two hours we will reach Mount Paiko. The mountain guide and tour leader will talk to us about the route the group will follow. Afterward, we will start our journey and walk the path that leads to the gorge of Stravopotamos. The route is excellent and well worth it.
