This is one of my favorite spots in the city!! Constructed in 1444 by Murda II, Bey Hamam is an Ottoman Bathhouse. It is located east of Panagia Chalkeon on Egnatia Street.

Bey Hamam

Built in 1444, Bey Hamam is the oldest off all the Ottoman baths in Thessaloniki and one of the most important buildings that integrate Ottoman architecture. It is located in the center of the city north of Aristotelous Plaza right across the paleo-christian temple of “Panagia Halkeon”.

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?
