Bitola – Florina (Greece) – Edessa (Greece) – Lutraki (Greece) – Bitola
The Greek Springs & Waterfalls Trail is a twelve-hour tour that mixes cultural landmarks, natural beauty, and peaceful spa time. The day starts in Bitola with a guided walk through the city’s most important sites. Visitors explore the Clock Tower, Isak Çelebi Mosque, Bezisten, and the Old Bazaar before continuing to the Yeni Mosque and St. Demetrius Church. A walk down Shirok Sokak introduces Bitola’s lively café culture and neoclassical charm.
Stops at the Catholic Church, Heart of Jesus monument, and House of the Army show the city’s layered history, while the National Museum offers insight into the region’s modern era, including a room dedicated to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The tour also includes Heraclea Lyncestis and a short panoramic drive past the Jewish, French, and German cemeteries.
After leaving Bitola, the tour crosses into Greece and stops in Florina, a small town known for its traditional architecture and riverside cafés. From there, the group travels to Edessa, famous for its dramatic waterfalls and lush green parks. There is time to enjoy the views, take photos, and grab a light lunch or snack before continuing on to the spa town of Loutraki.
Loutraki is home to natural thermal springs surrounded by forested hills. Guests can enjoy a relaxing soak in the warm outdoor pools, which are known for their soothing mineral waters. Spa entry and locker use are included in the tour, and there’s free time to unwind in the thermal baths or take a short nature walk along the streams. A swimsuit and towel are recommended for this part of the day.
This tour offers a slower pace and is perfect for those seeking a mix of history, gentle sightseeing, and relaxation. After a full day of exploring and unwinding, the tour returns to Bitola in the early evening.
