Incentive in Thessaloniki

Impressions

Greece s second largest city is standing proudly at the crossroad between East and West. Its prominent position and its enlightening impact throughout the ages have rendered Thessaloniki a point of reference and an economic center for all the Balkan nations and peoples.
The city stands as a crowning jewel at the top of Thermaikos Gulf, stretching over twelve kilometers in a bowl formed by low hills facing the Aegean. To the west, the city reaches the banks of Gallikos river, where the industrial zone with its dense infrastructure is situated, and to the east spreads as far as the luxurious suburb of "Panorama".
The main city is divided into the Upper town (Ano Poli) with its narrow alleys and Ottoman styled houses huddling around the remnants of the Mediaeval fortifications and the Modern town, which was fully redesigned and reconstructed on a grid system after being devastated by fire in 1917.

DAY 2
• Breakfast in hotel
• Visit Pella – Vergina
Pélla, once capital of the kingdom of Macedon, lies 40km/25mi west of Salonica on the road to Édessa.
The Capital of Macedonia moved from Vergina to Pella in the 5th Century BC and was in effect the capital of Greece. Many people come here to see the exceptional mosaics discovered in the remains of houses and public buildings. The museum is one of Greece's best on-site archaeology museums with a display of pottery, jewelry and mosaics found at the site. The remains of the buildings have impressed archaeologists and led them to believe that the Macedonians enjoyed a high level of wealth.

Founded by King Perdikas in the 7th Century BC it was formally known as Aigaes and was the first capital of Macedonia. When the capital was moved to Pella it was continued to be used as the royal burial grounds. In 336 BC, King Phillip II was assasinated by one of his seven bodyguards while attending the wedding of his daughter Cleopatra in the theatre.
The Royal Palace was built for King Antigonas Gonatas, and while few of the walls that have been excavated stand very tall, the size of the area they cover is impressive.
Archaeologists presume it was the summer residence of the king. The Royal Tomb has yielded great treasures, belonging to King Phillip, father of Alexander the great. The tomb itself is still being excavated and is not open to the general public as of this writing. The Macedonian tomb with its facade of 4 marble columns, was a promising find when unearthed but unfortunately did not contain the vast treasures of the Royal tomb. It does contain an impressive marble throne or at least what is left of it.

 

DAY 3
• Breakfast in hotel
• Visit Komotini, the town where western and eastern culture meet
One of the most fascinating events at the area of Komotini is the local outdoor market. As it is the biggest in the area, everyone from the around areas come to visit and buy goods. A market with a very strong Eastern color. One can buy from the traditional products of Komotini, such as the famous Greek coffee, traditional sweets even antiques.
Especially every Tuesday, there are thousands of merchandisers that bring their goods here for sale, and the bargain is a must activity before someone actually decides to buy.
We will have a stop also at the traditional coffee shops called "kafenia" for tsipouro and traditional cheese.
