This mission is amplified by a multitude of sightseeing places that tremendously contribute to the enjoyment of your family vacations. Such sightseeing places that are well worth a visit are Petralona Cave where a 700.000 years old human skull, one of the most ancestral European archaeological treasures, has been found, and also Sani Wetlands. It is therefore advisable to pack hiking boots, non-slippery shoes, and a hat.
