​The big-hearted city of Northern Greece

​The balcony of Thessaloniki! Walking up from the city’s center, a different Thessaloniki is discovered, a nostalgic city, something out of the past. Starting essentially from Agiou Dimitriou Str, you will pass by important monuments and churches, among them UNESCO World Heritage, such as the Church of Saint Catherine, the Vlatadon Monastery, the church of Agios Nikolaos Orfanos, Saint David, the temple of the Archangels, the Alatza Imaret mosque, the mausoleum of Musa Baba.  In your route, you’ll be accompanied by the walls of Thessaloniki, eternal defenders of security, the Eptapyrgio or Yedi Koule as was the Ottoman name, in the northeastern part of the Acropolis and the Trigoniou Tower, haughty and imposing while a panoramic image of the city hugging the sea will remain to you unforgettable.

Ladadika = Fun! The ultimate experience of all day and night entertainment is listening to the name Ladadika! Used to be a commercial neighborhood and due to the wholesale it housed the oil depots which got its name (oil = Ladi).  The flavors, meticulously Greek and international dishes, and the endless variety of traditional delicacies that highlight the great culinary tradition of Thessaloniki will amaze you! The night is long at Ladadika and the fun lasts until morning, so arm yourself with fun and a good mood and experience in the ultimate extent what means Thessaloniki by night!

​A Square risen from the ashes! The heart of the city beats in Aristotle Square, one of the most beautiful and biggest squares in Greece. Came out literally from the ashes, the square was created when the city was redesigned by the French architect Ernest Hébrard, after the fire that destroyed the center of Thessaloniki in 1917. The architecture of the colonnades and arches on the building facades followed European and Byzantine models and trends. Some of the most beautiful pieces embracing the square are the impressive hollow building of the Electra Palace hotel on the west side and the Olympion cinema on the east side of the square, which is the seat of the Thessaloniki Film Festival. The cafés are crowded all day long while dozens of happenings and events are held in the square throughout the year. The ‘openness’ to the sea offers spectacular views, so it is a favorite meeting place and also a favorite place for relaxation and entertainment for both Thessalonians and visitors of the city.
