Still Looking for the Perfect Stay?
Day 1–2: Parks & Springs
Start your journey at Agía Varávara Park, where lush greenery meets the revitalized springs. The park's pathways are perfect for morning walks or picnics. Nearby, the Agía Varávara Springs provide a peaceful spot to unwind, with clear waters reflecting the surrounding hills.
On day two, visit the Archaeological Museum of Drama, home to artifacts from ancient settlements and Thracian relics. Afterward, head to Kefalari Springs, known for their mineral-rich waters and tranquil atmosphere. These sites form a natural base for your week-long adventure.
Day 3–4: Nature Escapes
Venture beyond the city with day trips to nearby natural attractions. The Aggitis River Cave (Σπήλαιο Αγγίτη) is a must-see, offering guided tours through its underground rivers and stalactite formations. For outdoor enthusiasts, Falakro Mountain provides hiking trails, skiing in winter, and panoramic views of the region.
Both excursions are best done with local guides who can share insights about the area's geology and folklore.
