Thermaikos Gulf
by AndyRG
Thessaloniki is built next to Thermaikos Gulf. This avenue is a central one of the city. At the background, you can see the port. The central Aristotelous square is somewhere on the right of the picture (it can't be seen).
You can visit many interesting places, as the Arc of Roman emperor Galerius (303), Rotonda-Kamara, Eptapirgio, the Concert Hall, the Archaeological Museum -see my travelogue about it- the Byzantine Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, also the only museums in Greece about design and cinema etc.
Aghia Yorgi Beaches
by traveloturc
I think the nearest place to swim in Thessaloniki is Aghia Yorgi and the beach is really very good although I didnt like very much the quality of the sea but the facilities are enough and its also an oasis for greek families. There is also plenty place for parking
A good one in Kalamaria
by DrexelDragon about The Red Rose
The Red Rose is a great little bar over in Kalamaria. I think I felt as if it was the closest thing to a US type bar based on the way the inside was situated. It had more standing areas, and more people sitting at the bar. Couches were outnumbered by tables and people choosing to stand up at the counters built around the supporting columns. It's a small place, and the music was played a little too loud. Yet, I liked the bar setup and the exposed wooden ceiling beams. Definitely a place to go back to, and it's the type of place you start your night off at and then head out. No real concerns here...everyone I saw was mainly casual.
Plane / train / bus
by GeorgiosX
From abroad you should come by plane. Look at http://www.olympic-airways.gr/, http://users.otenet.gr/~cpnchris/skga.html, http://users.otenet.gr/~cpnchris/skgd.html.
If you come from Greece, you can take the train or the bus. Try http://www.ose.gr/ and http://www.ktel.org/.
Take the buses of the OASTH (http://www.oasth.gr/) to get around.
