      Thessaloniki lives at its own rhythm — lively, flavorful, and endlessly social. Wander Tsimiski Street and Ladadika for shopping, seafood, and meze. Enjoy coffees by the waterfront with the White Tower in view. A city of history and vibrant nightlife, where Mediterranean charm lingers from sunrise to midnight.

      From Agora to Aegean

      Founded in 315 BC by King Cassander of Macedon and named after Alexander the Great’s sister, Thessaloniki has always been a crossroads of cultures — Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern Greek. Its layers of history live through the White Tower, the ancient Roman Agora, Byzantine churches, and ongoing archaeological excavations. Don’t miss the Beascule Tower, a medieval fortification reflecting the city’s strategic past.

      Life Between Coffee, Sea & Flavor

      From morning espresso by the seaside to seafood feasts in Ladadika and shopping on Tsimiski Street, Thessaloniki thrives on taste and rhythm. Every corner hums with life — cafés spilling onto sidewalks, laughter mixing with the sound of waves, and locals sharing their love for food, wine, and vibrant culture. Ouzo, homemade white wine, tzatziki, and tarama salad are must-have meze with every meal.
