We had a great time with the lovely Hara, learning about the upper city and ancient & current uses of trees and herbs. We had a home-brewed tea for refreshment. The light drizzle did not bother us, and the grayish sky made the colors of the upper city houses pop out. This is a different kind of city guided tour, for those who seek something extra, other than plain history. Very recommended!We had a very good tour with Hara with wonderful views on Thessaloniki. Thank you very much for the explanations about plants and tries. We learned a lot!!! I can recommend!
