Activity itinerary

Alpha Estate
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Arrive at this family-owned gem in Amyndeon (620–710m elevation). Begin with a guided walk through 220 hectares of organic vineyards, followed by a tour of the gravity-flow winery and aging cellars. Learn about Xinomavro grapes and sustainable practices from expert oenologist Angelos Iatridis. Conclude with a tasting of 5–6 wines (e.g., floral whites and bold reds) paired with local cheeses.
Nymfaio
  • 1h
Stroll the fairy-tale streets lined with galvanized-roof mansions and Vlach artisan workshops. Visit the Nikios School (now a cultural center) and Silver/Gold Museum for a glimpse into 19th-century silversmithing. Then, a guided 45-min walk to the nearby Arcturos Bear Sanctuary—Greece's only brown bear refuge—observing rehabilitated animals in a natural habitat (entry €5; wolves/lynx area optional). Gentle paths; no strenuous hiking.
Arcturos Bear Refuge
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Arcturos Sanctuary (5-min walk uphill), Greece's pioneering wildlife haven since 1992. Home to 16 brown bears (rescued from circuses/poaching) and a wolf/lynx enclosure, guided tours (€5/adult, 45 min) reveal rehabilitation efforts amid 40 hectares of forest—bears like Zoe, weighing 250 kg, lumbering in semi-wild freedom. It's educational yet poignant, underscoring biodiversity in the Balkans' "tail-end Alps." Families appreciate the ethical focus; no feeding, just observation from safe paths. If energy flags, opt for a kafeneio terrace overlooking the valley.
Nymfaio
  • 1h 30m
Dine at a traditional taverna like Omegas Tigris or Plateia, in a restored stone mansion. Savor Macedonian specialties: wild mushroom pie, slow-cooked lamb kleftiko, grilled sausages, and seasonal salads with local truffles or foraged greens. Wine pairing optional (e.g., Alpha Estate rosé). Vegetarian/gluten-free options available.
