Thessaloniki to Naoussa, Wine Tasting Tour – Private Day Trip
One of the most interesting travel destinations in the attractive central Macedonia . Old neighbourhoods, exquisitely beautiful groves and fine wines. Naoussa is a city with history, interesting sights, special flavours, but also home to celebrated vineyards and wineries, making fine wines. One of the most interesting travel destinations in the already attractive central Macedonia region, gaining it the title “land of Xinomavro”.
Nowadays, apart from the Xinomavro, the varieties Negoska, Naousseiko, Sefka, Prekniariko, as well as so-called Local Wines of Imathia are also grown in the area. Younger winemakers are also entering the field, slowly reviving the Naoussa wine-growing zone, which has been registered as a Protected Designation of Origin Zone. Xinomavro, of course, is still the finest red variety in northern Greece, making Naoussa one of the most famous wine-producing areas in all of Macedonia. It also retains the OPAP (Appellation of Origin of Superior Quality) designation.

Pick-Up from your hotel or apartment in Thessaloniki and travel to the first location, Waterfalls of Metamorfosis
Beautiful and easy walking route for everyone. Signposts guide us, always leaving the choice of the order in which we will visit all the attractions of the area. The moment you will find yourself next to the small natural waterfalls and enjoy the endless water will be unforgettable. However, diving into icy waters is not a simple task, especially when it is not summer. For the brave, the pedestals in front of the waterfalls that are offered for swimming are the ones immediately after the Metamorfosi church where there is also the possibility for a picnic and the "Kallisto" pedestal. Drinking water is available in the chapel, at the first pedestal that emerges from among the tree roots and at the "Kallisto" pedestal that emerges from the rock.
