Travel Tips for Dos and Don’ts in Northern Greece

Metsovon, Northern Greece, Greece
After detouring down off the scary and spectacular Katara Pass (over 6,000ft high above!), you'll be awed with the picturesque village of Metsovo. It is a traditional village belonging to another time and unlike any you'll stumble upon in Greece. You are treated to amazing hospitality by villagers still wearing traditional middle-age clothing! Stone houses, wooden verandas and cobbled roads leave you spellbound in this traditional unique settlement.

Thessaloniki, Northern Greece, Greece
Twice visited and both times it was amazing! Compared with the Acropolis it may not have so big attractions, but it still have some to discover. It's a very relax city, with nice spots to see and a really good vibe. Stroll along the seaside where the White Tower is and watch families do the same on a Sunday morning :)
When you're there don't forget to try to Greek food - it will be a crime to go for fast-food or similar stuff instead! They have a tradicional desert, which translates as "triangules" and you should try it - it's very sweet, so it might be hangy to get a bottle of water to help ;)
About going out, you must try the "taverna" and the "bouzoukia" - if you don't know what they are, ask any young local!

Parga, Northern Greece, Greece
Parga se nalazi na jonskoj obali, na severu, blizu Krfa. Autobusom se putuje oko 12-14 sati od BGD-a... Mesto je simpaticno, lepo uredjeno, cisto. Ima prelep stari grad koji je u brdu, tvrdjavu iz 15 veka i prelepe plaze. Super mesto za odmor, nocni zivot nije bog zna sta. Barovi u starom gradu rade do 2h, posle toga na raspolaganju su 2-3 diskoteke. Grad je mali. More je super - azurno plavo. U samom gradu su 2 plaze, a u susednim uvalama jos 2, pa ko voli da se seta ima izbora... Voda je bistra, ali se ponekad desi da talasi donesu prljavstinu. Prodavnica ima dovoljno, tu su supermarketi, prodavnice na cosku sa vocem, povrcem, giros i sl. Ima mali milion restorana za rucak/veceru, kafica i barova... Obicno nase agencije imaju dil sa nekim pristojnim restoranom oko popusta, koji je od 15-20%... Mestani su kulturni i predusretljivi. Barataju osnovnim recima engleskog. U samom mestu nema znacajnih znamenitosti, ali je lepo i zanimljivo... Organizuju se brojni izleti do Krfa, ostalih Jonskih ostrva, itd. Sve u svemu - 5 minus. Minus jer nema palme duz obale! :)
