Swimming in the blue lake and in thermal baths
Breaths of freshness in the emerald lake of Skra! Come with us and let us take you to a well-hidden paradise on earth. Dense vegetation of plane trees, alder and ivy along with a cluster of streams, waterfalls and the emerald lake make up a fairytale setting. An ideal place for a day trip, a tour of the forest and for the more adventurous, rope diving in the clear blue waters of the lake. The unique color of its waters is due to the fossilized organisms that are found at the bottom of the lake. The walk in the lake of Skra is completed by walking a little longer to the impressive waterfalls and their stalagmite – stalactite complex. The unparalleled beauty is awe-inspiring to any visitor, and if you close your eyes you will be mesmerized by the magic of the sound of the foaming waters…
The impressive lake is followed by a visit to the open baths of Aridaia for bathing in the thermal waters. In the green surroundings you will also have the opportunity to enjoy the unique natural beauty of the landscape, shop for local products or even relax with a massage session.

Information
We start at 8:00 am from Thessaloniki and after 1 hour and 40 minutes we have reached our destination, waterfalls and lake of Skra! From here we start our tour through the dense vegetation and within 2 hours we will have the opportunity to see this hidden pearl of nature and dive into the deep blue waters of the lake. After our excursion we will visit the nearby village of Skra where we will have 1 hour free for lunch or coffee at a local tavern (optional). From Skra we head to the Almoia Baths in Aridaia and it will take us about 1.5 hours to get to a beautiful, authentic place with lush vegetation and warm thermal waters! Our stay will be in the village of Orma and you will choose your program, with options for hot baths, relaxing, enjoying coffee or food in the amazing nature and of course a walk in the local market with local products
On the first day we will enjoy the emerald lake and relax in the hot baths. The evening may find us relaxing in a local tavern with a glass of wine. The next day we will wake up and enjoy our coffee and breakfast in the beautiful grounds and after packing our things and start the drive to the Vergina museum and the King’s tombs. The museum inside encloses the royal tombs and this in itself is very solemn. The unique all-gold grave goods on display declare the greatness of ancient Macedonia. After 1.5 hours in the museum we have the choice to either sit in a local tavern or start our return to Thessaloniki.
