If you are planning to explore north of Greece be sure that you will find many beautiful places and extraordinary sights. This part of Greece is well known as spiritual with famous Meteors and the Mt. Athos where only men can enter. Mount Olympus is there too if you want to see where Gods from Greek mythology lived.
Maybe they are still there since the mountain is always in clouds. Get a car hire Greece and drive around to visit all of these places. From Thessaloniki there is only an hour of driving to get to Meteors, wonderful complex of Greek Orthodox Monasteries put on the high rocks.
Kastoria and Edessa are cities that offer traditional mixture of architecture, local sights and most welcoming locals. Excellent food comes like a cherry on a cake. Get a drive with your car hire Greece to the bottom of Mount Olympus and climb 2918m on its top.
On the way you will have some glorious views. Halkidiki is well known by its small villages which become crowded with tourists in summer season but the third finger keeps a big secret. Hidden on the third finger there is Mt. Athos, the heart of Byzantine religion and spirituality for more than 1000 years.
This monastery allows only men to enter. Kassandra and Sithonia are two fingers of Halkidiki where you can still find some undiscovered stretches of sand far away from tourists. From Thessaloniki it will take you just an hour of driving to get to Kassandra and two hours to Sithonia. Be sure to get a car hire Greece when you land in. You will have much more comfort and you will be able to see all of these beauties in just minutes of driving.
