Asprovalta, Thessaloniki, Greece

What to see: THE SEA!!! It is gentle, clean and enchanting from the first touch. It is always warm, through the clear water you can see small fish swimming almost to the shore. And besides this, you can try everything edible that the sea can offer in small restaurants on the embankment – mussels, squid, octopuses, fish of all kinds and sizes. And you can also go on a sightseeing tour of Mount Athos, go to the island of Thassos and visit the beaches there with white and pink marble, which gives the water an enchanting color. The ancient cities of Thessaloniki and Kavala, the famous monasteries of Meteora and much more are waiting for you!

It’s somehow awkward to even call staying at a festival in this resort “staying”. After all, the festival is in Asprovalta, a city that traces its history back to the 16th century! We immediately called it “aristocratic”. Probably because the very atmosphere of this small town, which consists of quiet and provincial streets and modern, beautiful apartments by the sea, evokes precisely such associations.

All participants of this festival will live in apartments – traditionally. There are hotels somewhere closer to the mountains, but they are, firstly, far from the sea, and secondly, unable to convey the truly unique Greek flavor of apartment blocks. So, what are local apartments? These are one-, two-, maximum three-story beautiful houses, the area of ​​which is divided into apartments. You can fall in love with such houses at first sight.

Each apartment has a separate bathroom with shower, 2-3 beds, air conditioning, TV, balcony-terrace (sometimes up to half the area of ​​the apartment) with plastic furniture, a small kitchenette with a two-burner electric stove (they say, rarely, who uses it, but…). Each house must have free Wi-Fi internet.
The special beauty of all this is given by the courtyards with mandatory landscaping, barbecue, chairs, playground and street landscaping: palm trees, ficuses, lemons, unknown to us, but no less beautiful, flowers and plants. We were literally enchanted by this place.

And, of course, the Aegean Sea! The sea is no more than 150 m from the “distant” apartments. The air here is literally saturated with its smell. It can be seen from many terraces
