Overview

  • Begin in a serene mountain setting with a visit to the historic Panagia Eikosifoinissa Monastery, one of northern Greece’s most important Orthodox pilgrimage sites. Surrounded by forested hills, the monastery offers a peaceful atmosphere, impressive architecture, and a spiritual legacy shaped by centuries of devotion and tradition.

    Continue to Amphipolis, once a powerful city of the ancient Macedonian world. Stop at the iconic Lion of Amphipolis, one of the region’s most recognizable monuments, while your guide introduces you to the history and significance of this important ancient city.

    The journey then turns to the flavors of the land with a visit to a local olive oil estate and enjoy a guided tasting of premium extra virgin olive oils.

    Conclude your experience at a selected local winery, where you will enjoy a curated wine tasting featuring regional varieties and refined blends while discovering the long winemaking tradition of the Pangaion area.
