Road Trip from Athens to Thessaloniki, Greece

After a memorable stay at Athens we set off on our first part of road trip through Greece; road trip from Athens to Thessaloniki. This distance of 500 km was completed in 5 hours approximately. If you’re interested in exploring the Greek mainland, I will recommend this trip to Thessaloniki and back to Athens via several UNESCO sites of Greece. I did Meteora and Delphi, then went south of Greece to Naflpio and finally to Athens.

Throughout the journey we were on the highway E75 and we kept paying at toll gates. We drove by the Aegean Sea for some distance. We crossed the well known Olympic beach and could see the yachts all lined up along the shore. We covered this stretch again as we did the road trip from Vergina to Larissa.

Just as we crossed the Olympic beach stretch patches of dark clouds followed us threatening to pour. But wind God favored us and they were blown off our range of sight.

The last pic is from Thessaloniki, Thermaic Gulf, quite crowded in the evening. It seemed as if all tourists and birds had congregated there after hectic sightseeing of the city.
