What does everyone visiting Northern Greece need to know this year?

After last year’s huge success, the “Tourism Festival” in Ofrynio Beach returns again, full of special surprises. Kourtidis Group of Companies, which implemented it for the first time in 2023 with the aim of highlighting all the important points of tourist interest located in the wider region of Kavala, Drama, Serres and Thassos, announces the new date of its event.

With the motto “365 days of experience”, the most special festival of tourism of Northern Greece starts on Thursday the 4th of July and ends on Saturday the 6th of July. It will take place in the specially landscaped gardens of Kourtidis Group’s headquarters, in Ofrynio Beach and the official Opening Ceremony is on Thursday July 4th at 21:00.

The Goal

The aim is that every visitor to Northern Greece should get to know and discover the incredible “secrets” of the wider coastal region from the Strymonian Gulf to Thassos, as well as the prefectures of Serres, Kavala and Drama.

26 booths and more than 30 exhibitors present the most beautiful spots of our region, at the “2nd Tourism Festival” which is free of charge for everyone. In addition, the dozens of exhibitors (regional units, municipalities, theme parks, museums, archaeological sites, caves, wineries, information centers, etc.) participate without any charge.

It is a basic philosophy for Kourtidis Group to develop, promote, advertise and support the place, the institutions and all places of tourist visit, education and family entertainment.

The parallel events

One of the surprises of the Festival is the parallel operation of a unique Instagrammable Theme Park with free admission for the public.

Three-dimensional constructions make up a special frame of summer photos for young and old alike. Huge ice creams, angel wings, colourful macarons, delicious chocolates, the screen of an old TV and a huge camera… are some of the 3D exhibits that make up Europe’s first summer Instagrammable theme park.

In addition, visitors will be able to enjoy a special guided tour of the open-air Cine History on site.
