Hello,
I am planning a trip to Greece. I am following a Bible Tour itinerary I found pretty closely.
I will have a car and be driving to these places.
For those that have been before I don’t know how long each site takes to see. I am wondering if it is possible at all to combine any of these days. Mainly, I would love to have a full day in Thessaloniki instead of having to drive there on the 11th.
Suggestions?
