Every press trip that we organise and host, is about more than just the destination. It’s about the people and the experiences that make the destination.
Curated media visits
We dig dip into the identity of every place we visit, seeking the private experiences that reveal the true character of each destination. We carefully select our partners to make sure that the overall travel experience is not only of the highest standards and relevant to the participating media, but also seamless and hassle-free. And that makes us experts in curated media visits.
In and Around Thessaloniki | A 3-day Autumn City Break Press Trip
We invited 4 German journalists for a 3-day autumn city break in and around Thessaloniki and our itinerary included:
► A walking tour of Thessaloniki: From Roman times to present-day through the monuments and landmarks of a multicultural metropolis
► A stroll along the waterfront: From Aristotelous Square and the White Tower to a horse-mounted Alexander the Great and the Umbrellas installation – all emblems of the city … ending with a breathtaking sunset on the Thermaic Gulf.
► A private food tour: Visiting the delis and food markets of Thessaloniki, sampling products and meeting the locals who continue a centuries-old cooking tradition that blends the cultural influences of the city.
► A vineyard and wine-tasting tour in Naoussa: One of Greece’s landmark wine-growing regions, on the slopes of Mt Vermion, and home of the Xinomavro grape.
