HIDDEN DIAMOND AT THESSALONIKI // PLATANAKIA PARK

in Pinmapple2 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing great.

Yesterday me and @knowhow92 met up with some friends and decided to spend our Sunday at a beautiful place near our city Thessaloniki. It is actually a district of Thessaloniki called "Panorama" where this green paradise "Platanakia" is located, about 20 minutes from the city center.

There is a big park here with playgrounds for children, a cafe, free picnic tables and also a small zoo with birds and deers which is something that I am not coincident. The first impression of the place was pretty good, it is a beautiful place to visit and especially for familys who want to get their children familiar with the nature.

We passed the main park walking parallel to the river through the paths. A lot of people were exploring the forest with their children and dogs and a group was also filming a video clip or something.

Look at this weird synthesis of trees! Like these two trees lying on the carcas of an old plane tree.

Th river wasn't deep at all as far as we walked, some people also chose to follow the path inside of the river. I don't know if their shoes were waterproof or something but I can not imagine how called the water was. (bbrrrr)

It is hard to believe that this beautiful forest with the fresh air is just a breath away from the city center. I am really excited that we discovered this place and we are going to visit again at hot summer months for sure.


That's all from me and this hidden diamond I found, I hope you enjoyed my post guys. Thank you for stopping by.

Stay positive.

Such a beautiful forest! Even better that it is so close to the city so that it may be enjoyed frequently and easily.

The tree synthesis you mentioned and photographed is quite unusual. I enjoyed the green, mossy cover; it adds such richness of color.

Thanks for sharing this post with us!

Cheers!
