The New Year's Gala, scheduled for the night of December 31st, will be held at a popular and authentic Greek tavern in Thessaloniki. This special event, included in the price, features a fixed menu with traditional Greek flavors, limited local drink service (wine, ouzo, etc.), and live music accompanied by sirtaki tunes.

Yes, the visit to Atatürk's House, one of the most meaningful moments of our tour program, is included in our itinerary. We visit this special house within the Thessaloniki Consulate General complex with the guidance of our tour leader.(Note: If restoration works carried out by the Republic of Turkey Consulate General are ongoing on the travel date, explanations and photo sessions will be conducted from the courtyard.)
