THE PLACES THAT TELL LAGADAS
Worth seeing, worth remembering.
Lake Koroneia
This shallow lake is an important wetland in Central Macedonia and is home to numerous bird species. Its shores and the surrounding viewpoints are especially appealing for nature lovers.
Lake Volvi
Larger and deeper than nearby Koroneia, Lake Volvi is surrounded by rural landscapes and wetlands of great natural value. It is a pleasant destination for birdwatching and for a scenic stop during an excursion in the area.
Koroneia and Volvi Lakes National Park
The protected area includes lakes, reed beds, and habitats that support a rich variety of birds and other wildlife. It is the ideal place to explore the region’s nature at a leisurely pace and appreciate its biodiversity.
Rentina Castle
The ruins of the Byzantine castle rise on a wooded hill near the Rentina River valley, in a strategic position overlooking the route to the coast. The visit combines historical interest with beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
Apollonia Archaeological Site
The remains of ancient Apollonia recall the importance of Macedonian settlements along the routes linking the interior to the coast. The site lies near Lake Volvi and is an interesting stop to round out an itinerary of nature and history.

BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
The center of Lagadas is easy to explore on foot. To get there from Thessaloniki, you can use direct bus routes heading to the area: check the latest schedules and stops before you leave, as they may change. A car is useful for exploring the surroundings and reaching the thermal baths or nearby villages with greater flexibility. If you take a taxi, agree on the fare or check service availability, especially in the evening. In summer, bring water and sun protection even for short trips.
When to go
Spring and early autumn are the most pleasant times for strolling around and visiting the surroundings, thanks to the generally mild temperatures. Summer can be hot, while in winter the weather is cooler and rainier. If you plan a visit to the thermal baths, check opening days and hours in advance.
Where to eat
In Lagadas, you can look for tavernas and traditional eateries in the center, where you’ll find grilled meat, meze, salads, and dishes from Greek cuisine. Ask about the daily specialties and check whether vegetarian options or meals suited to any dietary needs are available. Meal times may be broader than in Italy, but at smaller places it’s advisable to ask in advance, especially out of season.
Quick tips
- 01Check bus times before you leave and don’t assume there will be evening or holiday services.
- 02If you want to visit the thermal baths, check opening hours, available services, and whether a reservation is needed in advance.
- 03Keep cash with you for small purchases or places that may not accept cards.
- 04Bring comfortable shoes and, in the warmer months, water, a hat, and sun protection.
