Every spring, the plains around Veria and northern Greece turn into a sea of pink from blooming peach trees. This region produces the most peaches in the country and the display pools and visitors from Greece and other parts of Europe each year. Local organizers from the Veria Tourism Club have ramped up events to celebrate the season. They host photography outings, bike rides through the orchards, and showcases of farmers' goods, turning the natural show into a full festival. Thousands showed up over two weekends to stroll among the trees near Veria, about 72 km west of Dessaloniki. Travelers from places like the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany raved about discovering this spot. The gatherings give a real lift to the area, packing hotels and shining a light on peach farmers' hard work.
