Central Macedonia

Centered on Thessaloniki, with Halkidiki's beaches, Mount Olympus and the Macedonian royal tombs, offering sea, mountains and antiquities.

Central Macedonia lies in northern Greece and is the country's second most populous region. Its capital, Thessaloniki, has numerous Byzantine monuments and a lively food and nightlife scene; the Halkidiki peninsula to the southeast is known for its pine-fringed bays and sandy beaches; Mount Olympus to the southwest, Greece's highest peak, is ideal for hiking and climbing; and the Royal Tombs of Vergina and the ancient city of Pella showcase the splendor of the age of Alexander the Great. Summer suits beach holidays, while spring and autumn suit mountain hiking and city breaks. Thessaloniki Macedonia Airport is the main gateway, and there is also a rail link to Athens.
