Serviced Apartments in Ouranoupoli

Ouranoupoli (also sometimes still known as Ouranoupolis) is a village in the northwest of Greece about 90 miles from the largest nearby city of Thessaloniki. Beautifully located on the coast of the Aegean Sea, Ouranoupoli has almost 2500 years of history and is certainly one of the less well-known tourist destinations in Greece. Despite this, there is a good selection of holiday apartments in Ouranoupoli to stay at to enjoy both the weather and the history of the area.

Ouranoupoli was founded in the fourth century BC at the very beginning of the Mount Athos Peninsula. This area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important religious centre within Greece. Mount Athos is known as the Holy Mountain by the Greeks and plays an important part in Greek mythology. Many Ouranoupoli serviced apartments overlook the strait between the village and nearby Ammouliani Island.

This island can be visited by boat and is a charming destination for a day trip. The island is very relaxed and laid-back, and has a great deal of beautiful beaches and aquamarine seas to enjoy. This is definitely one day trip from your Ouranoupoli holiday rental taken care of.

Local cuisine in the area is dominated by traditional Greek food with plenty of fresh fish. Fishing trips are also available for you to catch your own, with many tour operators happy to pick you up from your Ouranoupoli apartment rental at the start of the day. A visit to this peaceful village is pretty much guaranteed to leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and reinvigorated. The local speciality of tsipouro is an alcoholic beverage which will also leave you feeling rather laid-back!

The centrepiece of the village itself is an old Byzantine tower overlooking the sea. This understated old tower has a backdrop of lush green hills rolling down to dark blue seas, and sums up the village perfectly. Most people will reach their serviced accommodation in Ouranoupoli via the long winding road from Thessaloniki airport this and even this two-hour journey is an enjoyable part of your trip. You know you have arrived in the village when the tower appears before you, putting butterflies in your stomach.
