Thessaloniki – Via Egnatia – Pangaion – Eikosifoinissa Monastery

East of Thessaloniki, the Jerusalem Way follows suitable sections of the historic Via Egnatia. Lake landscapes, fields, villages, and the Pangaion Mountains characterize this long stretch. The destination is the Panagia Eikosifoinissa Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in the region and an important spiritual center of Eastern Macedonia. Arriving at the mountain monastery provides a quiet contrast to the bustling city of Thessaloniki.
