Sehr schöne Tour, um im Winter baden zu gehen. Sehr freundliche und gut informierte Tourguide und sehr guter Fahrer. Man hat sehr viel über die Umgebung gelernt und die Wassertemperatur von 30 Grad im November spricht für sich. Spannende Umgebung und schöner Markt mit frischem Obst und frischen Nüssen in Pozar. In Edessa konnte man viele Dinge anschauen, leider war die vorgegebene Zeit ein bisschen knapp, um alle Dinge ansehen zu können. Mein persönliches Highlight war die Sesam-Mühle, da ein sehr netter Herr sich ganz viel Zeit für uns genommen hat, um uns alles zu erklären. Alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Tag auch als Alleinreisender. Durch die Gruppe hatte man schnell Anschluss und so war es ein kurzweiliger Tag.

Die Tagestour hat mir insgesamt gut gefallen. Ich kann es jeder*m empfehlen, die*er einbisschen etwas von der Umgebung bei Thessaloniki sehen möchte und gleichzeitig einbisschen Wellness der besonderen Art genießen möchte. Der Aufenthalt in Pozar war mit fast 2 Stunden lang genug, um sich in den Thermalbädern zu entspannen und die Atmosphäre dort zu genießen. Danach ging es nach Edessa weiter, wo die Gruppe zum Wasserfall gelaufen ist und anschließend etwas in einem stylischen Restaurant gegessen hat. Leider musste man sich entscheiden, ob man was essen wollte oder sich die historische Stadt ansehen möchte. Die Tourleiterin hat auf der Fahrt viel Interessantes zur Geschichte der Orte erzählt. Leider konnte man sie wg der Aussprache nicht gut verstehen. Trotzdem hat sich die Tour gelohnt.
