Northern Greece, especially Macedonia, is the largest region of the country with Thessaloniki as its cultural and economic center.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of opportunities for entertainment, leisure and relaxation while exploring the rich nature and art that make this region unique in the world.
The natural landscapes are impressive. The Prespa Lakes are one of the most important wetlands in Europe, and the waterfalls of Edessa, Lake Kerkini, the Axios Delta and the Nestos River are other highlights.
The region also has important archaeological sites. The ancient sites of Vergina, Philippi and Dion are monuments to the past that are well worth a visit.
Winter sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the infrastructure and ski resorts in Agios Athanasios, Vermion and other places.
Equally important are the region's museums, which house works of worldwide interest.
Thessaloniki and the other cities of northern Greece have a rich cultural and historical past. Saint Athos stands out as one of the largest religious and spiritual centers in the world.
