Program details

Love shopping? And Greek food? Then this trip combines both in one outing. First of all, you’ll visit Nea Moudania, a bustling coastal town known for its Wednesday morning market. It’s the largest outdoor market in Halkidiki, so it’s ripe for a shopping spree. Cue stalls weighed down with fresh produce, olives and honey. Racks of clothes and leather bags. And stands piled with local handicrafts and trinkets. You’ll have free time to roam around and snap up the goodies.

Then rejoin the coach for a climb into the Holomondas Mountains, where there are slopes covered in oak forests and wild meadows. Here, you’ll have lunch at a family-run taverna, tucking into wild boar steak, fresh bread, salad and tzatziki while the owner regales you with anecdotes and stories. And before you leave, you’ll be entertained with some Greek dancing and have the chance to try some of the family’s homemade wine and honey.
