In the region of Imathia in Northern Greece, every spring turns into a spectacular quilt of hot pink and vivid green due to the blossoms of its famed peach trees that line the entire plain.
The vast swathes of pink blossoms from peach orchards transform the Imathia region of Greece into a wonderland and are among the world’s most well-kept secrets. One can get a nice view, which stands up to other springtime floral displays around the world, from the foothills of Mount Vermio.
This year’s Peach Blossoms Festival transcends traditional festivities, embracing peace, empathy, and self-care as its core values.

Veria is located on the eastern foothills of the Vermio Mountains, one of Greece’s largest mountain ranges and it’s now the country’s largest forest-owning municipality with orchards producing peaches, apples, cherries, and other fruits.
The city is situated in ancient Imathia, west of the ancient Macedonian town of Mieza and the site of the ancient School of Aristotle. The area, according to Herodotus, was where the fertile Gardens of King Midas were situated.
Imathia’s peaches are well-known all across Europe. They are one of Greece’s most successful export products, and thousands of people work in the agricultural sector in the region.
