Art Camping

Learn all about classic Greek grape varieties like Assyrtiko and Limnio with a guided vineyard and cellar tour at Gerovassiliou Estate (10 minutes’ drive). The visit culminates in a wine-tasting (and wine-pairing) session. There’s also an on-site museum featuring, among other things, a large collection of corkscrews. The Epanomi Wetlands (25 minutes), on a headland to the south, is home to flamingoes, pheasants and other birds. Just off the shore is the Shipwreck Epanomi. Legend has it that this vessel, which had been due to remove land from the delicate wetlands habitat, was abandoned and left to rot, becoming a popular snorkelling destination in the process. In Thessaloniki (40 minutes’ drive), the Archaeological Museum has a vast collection of classical antiquities, while the Heptapyrgion is a multi-turreted fortress. For something more modern, visit the Ataturk Museum, then end the day in monumental Aristotelous Square, watching the sunset over the sea with a glass of ouzo in hand.
