Different From the Rest of Greece, but Just as Grand!
14 Reviews Agios Demitrios (Saint Dmitri) was a third century Christian scholar who was martyred by Galerius and whose ghost has apparently appeared at several key battlesites. The significance of Agios Demitrios has led to the construction of Greece's largest church on his birthplace in Thessaloniki. The...
20 Reviews I first saw Ouzou Melathron on Ryanair brochure so i visited first on Thessaloniki. Its food was unique combined great with tsipouro. I bought two bottles just for the relatives. I tried Pasas Soufra which was very special and unique, Maniatis Salad and prince pan. They informed me that also in...
8 Reviews Don't go to the cafés that are right by the water in Plateia Aristotelou or even along the waterfront on Nikis. They're ridiculously overpriced given that the coffee they serve is usually not all that good. If you want something better, concentrate on the the cafés along Aristotelou that are closer...
6 Reviews This is probably one of the best jazz clubs I have gone to in Greece. They have all types of Jazz music, and fantastic cocktails. Fridays and saturdays are live music nights, with really great groups. Well, I would say dress nice, but not.. too nice... i mean.. we're talking about jazz..what else...
8 Reviews You can explore Thessaloniki on foot. However if you don't have much time and you can not bear the heat, then take the bus. One single trip costs 80 Cents. If you buy the 90 cents ticket, you can have a second ride provided it takes place within 1.5 hours from the time you took your first ride. If...
10 Reviews The direct Dostluk-Filia train has canceled its operations. Although!!! there is a train departing from Thessaloniki around 1545 which around 0030 is arriving at Pithio train station-the greek one in borders with Turkey. From there u may take the turkish train around 0210. Before hand though,try to...
8 Reviews I strongly sugest you to visit the F-fokas megastore. There is a huge variety of clothes suitable for all the ages in quite good prices. All the well known brand names. Also you can visit F-Fokas Sport for everything that is related with sports. Clothing, Shoes, Sports equipment Take the F-Fokas...
6 Reviews After your visit to the beautiful Agia Sofia church, you'll see a catacomb across it (which is really worth a visit too), you will notice this beautiful shop which reads something like (but not exactly) Xatcn Ewtiov. You have got to try their sweets and some are nicely packed for your friends, loved...
2 Reviews As Thessaloniki and nothern Greece in general became part of the modern Greek state just 92 years ago, its people have special ties to the Greek institutions that have been alive for over 1000 years - such as the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Costantinople (in Istanbul, Turkey). The Orthodox church...
2 Reviews Christmas is a great time to visit Thessaloniki. Although there aren't so magical as in Germany or Austria, you will often see the town full of snow. The town is very beautifully decorated. There is of course a large Christmas Tree, but also a very beautiful ship [Christmas Trees are supposed to be...
3 Reviews Beware of pickpockets on public bus from city center to airport. The game of the team of three I encountered was for two to stop in front of me as I was trying to board the bus with suitcases while the third tried to take advantage of my frustration to lift my wallet. It didn't work, but it could...
2 Reviews As you know it, Greek honesty is beyond question, but it is not applicable sometimes, primarily if you take a taxi. You may not to be persuaded of the honesty of drivers, but it seems, as if something would happen with the honest Greeks when they drive taxi. Unfortunately, only few of the drivers...
5 Reviews I live in Thessaloniki and I have to warn you that taxi drivers are RUDE and they will try to cheat you, they will tell you to pay more than the real fair. Do not trust them cause they r trying to steal even us, who r Greeks and will live here. Public buses are better, more cheaper and there are...
7 Reviews Although it's really an adventure to drive there, because of the lack of propriate road signs on the way from Serres to Sochos (notice that even my GPS was inadequate!), the traditional carnival of Sochos worths a visit. It has nothing to do with the more popular, though "industrialized" ones,...
3 Reviews Moni Lazariston was built in 1886 by the monks of Saint Paul Vincent battalion, who became famous from their headquarters in the church of Saint-Lazare in Paris. Monis Lazariston functioned as a Seminary until 1913 and after that it had a lot of usages till 1978 (division headquarters, hospital...
3 Reviews Take a long walk at the Old Town It's one the pretiest areas of Thessaloniki. With old houses, small alleys and a beautiful view its worth it. Especially when you realise that you are totally lost but you still keep going. A map would be helpful at the point that you decide you would rather head...
11 Reviews this tip is not about a "favourite thing" nor a "fondest memory". it is only here to give you a link to this website http://www.thessaloniki360.com an excellent work that gives 360 degree images of the city, overlaid on a map. i think it's both helpful for travellers and a good way to see images...
