This new guide to Northern Greece, written by Greece expert and
long-time travel writer Dana Facaros, is the only guide available to the
region and includes the areas of Epirus, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace,
complete with their five dramatically beautiful national parks, the
country's highest peaks and mountain lakes, rushing rivers and the
world's deepest gorge, and (this is Greece, after all) long sandy
beaches. Sections on background and practical information are followed
by an easy-to-follow breakdown of the area offering detailed coverage in
12 chapters, from Greece's second city, Thessaloníki, to Chalkidikí,
Central Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia, Thrace, Western Macedonia, Epirus
(including Ioánnina), Thessaly and Magnesía, the Pelion Peninsula and
the Islands, plus a short chapter on Athens, the gateway for many
visitors to Greece.Greece is becoming more popular by the year and this
area in particular offers the more natural, authentic experience that
many travellers seek. Bradt's Northern Greece focuses on just this
relatively unknown but up-and-coming region and is an ideal companion
for travellers of all ages, budgets and interests, from culture lovers
to wildlife enthusiasts, history buffs to archaeologists, foodies to
wine connoisseurs. Holidays in the great outdoors are covered, too,
including mountain climbing, skiing, white water rafting, rock climbing,
sailing, canyoning and sea kayaking, not to mention those who just want
to sit on a sandy beach and dance the night away.
