Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Enjoy the nature of Thessaloniki in the forest of Seih Sou by running or hiking with a friendly guide! You’ll admire the panoramic views of the city and breath the fresh air! What’s more, it’s only a few minutes away from the city center!
Activity
You’ll be running or hiking for 8km in the longest trail of the Seih Sou forest, but don’t worry; you won’t feel tired once you’ve seen the view! This activity is for experienced runners/hikers who have an advanced level in hiking and are rather sporty. The magical colors of the trees will amaze you as well as the nature surrounding you.
Location
The Seih Sou hilltop forest (also known as Kedrinos Lofos in Greek) is just 15 minutes away from the city center of Thessaloniki, and it spreads to its north and northeast. It is characterized as the city’s “lung”, given that the many trees provide oxygen for the city’s inhabitants.
What to expect
You’ll meet your guide at a specific pick-up point. From there you’ll arrive at the starting point, where you’ll get a briefing and do some warmup. You’ll start running or hiking and once you’re tired, you’ll take a short break for some snacks and water. You’ll continue with your route before you return. You’ll have time to cool down, of course!
