About This Tour

A 7-day loop out of Thessaloniki through Kavala's fortress old town, wine tasting in Drama, and the beaches and pine forests of the Halkidiki peninsula, finishing with the royal tombs of ancient Aegae. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — the original route hands you a rental car in Thessaloniki on Day 1. Voyzo runs this exact route with your own private driver and vehicle instead, so you can enjoy the wine tasting in Drama and the Halkidiki beaches without worrying about driving. The entire route stays within Greece, looping from Thessaloniki out to Kavala, the Halkidiki peninsula, and Vergina and back.
