I would love to use a taxi app (similar to uber) while I'm in Thessaloniki, do you know of any good ones? I prefer to track my ride, it feels a bit safer that way
 
Here is the taxi app that I found for Greece (could not find one that is for IOS/Iphone), but here is an option to look at for Andriod:
play.google.com

iMove Ride App in Greece - Apps on Google Play

Transfers from Athens Airport Fast & Cheap Rides in Greek islands
play.google.com play.google.com

Hope this helps!
 
I had NO idea there were taxi apps in Greece! I will have to remember that for the next time I go...

Good markets to visit in Thessaloniki?

I'm planning a visit to Thessaloniki soon, and I'm really keen on exploring the local markets there. I've heard that the city is rich in history and culture, and I believe that visiting local markets is one of the best ways to immerse oneself in the local atmosphere and perhaps find some unique items to bring back home.

Does anyone have recommendations for markets in Thessaloniki that are worth visiting? I'm interested in anything from food markets where I can taste local delicacies, to flea markets where I might find interesting antiques or crafts. Also, if you have any tips on the best days and times to visit, as well as what I might expect in terms of items available and price ranges, that would be incredibly helpful!

Looking forward to your suggestions and thank you in advance for sharing your insights!

Visiting Kapani Market in Thessaloniki – What to Expect?

I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki soon and I've been reading up on places to visit. Kapani Market (also known as Vlali Market) keeps popping up as a must-visit spot for an authentic local experience. From what I gather, it’s one of the oldest markets in the city, steeped in history and bustling with life.

I'm really keen to explore it, but I want to make the most out of my visit. Could anyone who has been there share what exactly you can find at Kapani Market? From fresh produce to local delicacies, what are the things that I absolutely shouldn't miss? Are there any particular stalls or specialities? Also, I read that bargaining is quite common there – any tips on how to do it like a pro?

Apart from the shopping experience, I’m also interested in understanding the cultural aspect. How does the market fit into the daily life of locals? Can you get a good sense of the local cuisine and lifestyle by wandering around?

Lastly, any practical tips for visiting would be greatly appreciated – best times to go, how to get there, or any nearby attractions to combine with the market visit.

Thanks in advance for the help! Really looking forward to experiencing the vibrant atmosphere I keep reading about.

Byzantine heritage of Thessaloniki?

I've recently developed a keen interest in Byzantine history and its remarkable cultural heritage. Having read that Thessaloniki has a rich tapestry of Byzantine monuments and sites, I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for some insight.

I'd love to hear anyone's experiences in visiting Thessaloniki with a focus on its Byzantine past. Could you share recommendations on must-see sites? Particularly, I'm interested in the architecture related to Byzantium and if there's a museum about it I can visit.

Thanks in advance!

Food Specialties of Thessaloniki?

I am looking into regional cuisines in Greece and I am actually going to Thessaloniki at some point this year to visit some people. What are some unique dishes, and maybe concepts, that may the culinary food scene here unique?

From my initial research, I understand that Thessaloniki is known for its vibrant markets, exceptional seafood, and sweet treats. However, I'm eager to dig deeper and explore the authentic local specialties that this city has to offer. I believe that the best way to experience a new culture is.

What are some dishes I should look out for? Or maybe some ingredients, too?
