Walk the youthful Footsteps of Alexander the Great with GMTC
Alexander the Great was a remarkable leader. During his 33 year sojourn on earth he expanded Greek influence as far east as India, crushed the Persian Empire and briefly created one of the greatest empires in world history.
His life began in Macedonia which today is divided between the province of Macedonia in northern Greece and the FYRM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).
The jewel of Greek Macedonia is Greece’s second largest city of Thessaloniki (Salonika) which has a fascinating history as Greece’s bridge between Europe and the Orient and today it retains its tradition as a great trading city, Thessaloniki is a one hour flight from Athens or a six hour coach or train ride north of Athens.
Greece and Mediterranean Travel Centre has four hotel options in Thessaloniki ranging from the three star Telioni Hotel from $74 pp twin share per night including breakfast to the 5 star Electra palace Hotel where the tariff is $161 pp per night twin share. Thessaloniki is included in GMTC’s five day Northern Greece tour, the seven day grand tour of Greece or within self driving programs.
