Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Altar of Saint Paul, Apostolou Pavlou, Veria 591 32, Greece
We reach Veria around 09:30 and we pass by the Apostle Paul’s Tribune which is a historical monument and a landmark for the Christians, the traditional quarter of Barbouta – it’s the jewish quarter next to the river with the artistic mansions, the plain houses with the jewish signs and also the Synagogue. We visit the Post-Byzantine Church of Veria and the traditional quarter of Kyriotissa; the christian quarter where we can admire the byzantine churches and walk through the narrow alleys of the old town.
The traditional architecture of the old districts and the numerous byzantine and post-byzantine churches with the remarkable mural paintings give a unique character to the city revealing at the same time the history and the prosperity of the area.
In our free time we enjoy our coffee and later on we can taste the most popular traditional sweet of the Veria, the syrup cake called “revani”.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Κτήμα Χατζηβαρύτη-Chatzivariti Winery, 6ο χλμ Επαρχιακής Οδού, Γουμένισσας Γιαννιτσών, Γουμένισσα, Κιλκίς 613 00, Greece
Next we continue for a wine route to a prime winery. Our wine expert shall introduce us to the ancient history of viticulture and the wine making. We have the chance to learn about the art of wine making from the winegrowers themselves, who guide us through the vineyards and the areas of wine producing, maturing and aging. We learn all the details of the process that leads the wine from the vineyard to our glass, the selection of the grape type and the growing area of the vineyard, until the “birth” of the organic wine in the winery.
We will also get to know the wine varieties and taste some of the fantastic wines through a wine tasting that’s an absolutely delightful experience. We will delve into the aromas and the colors and learn how to serve, bottle, conserve and keep the quality of the wine in high level. After this contact with the “nectar of the Gods” we will realize that the selection and the drinking of a fine wine is not as simple as we thought.
We depart to Thessaloniki at around 15:30p.m and we are back after an hour (around 16:30p.m), making the same stops where we started from.
