1st edition January 2020 392 pages 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 Épirus, 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 nine chapters, from Greece's second
city, Thessaloníki, to Chalkidikí, Central Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia, Thrace,
Western Macedonia, Épirus (including Ioánnina), Thessaly and Magnesia, the
Pélion Peninsula and the Islands. 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.
