Spend a full day discovering two of Northern Greece's highlights in one comfortable trip: the world-famous Petralona Cave and the beaches and traditional villages of Chalkidiki. This private 8-hour tour departs Thessaloniki at 9:00 AM with your own air-conditioned coach and professional driver — ideal for groups of up to 50 guests.
Step 700,000 Years Back in Time at Petralona Cave
Just 50 km from Thessaloniki, Petralona Cave is one of Greece's most important prehistoric sites. In 1960, a remarkable fossil skull was discovered here, belonging to a man aged 25–35 who lived around 700,000 years ago — with characteristics between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens neandertalensis. Wander through impressive chambers of stalactites and stalagmites and see where human history was rewritten.
Discover the Best of Chalkidiki
After the cave, the route continues through Chalkidiki — the region of three peninsulas (Kassandra, Sithonia and Mount Athos), famous for its beaches, traditional villages and archaeological sites.
