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:

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...
 

Viewing the Sunset in Thessaloniki?

Hi everyone! I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki and would love your recommendations on the best spots to watch the sunset.

I've heard the city offers some stunning views as the sun dips over the Thermaic Gulf. Whether it's a peaceful spot for reflection or a lively area with a vibrant atmosphere, I'm open to all suggestions.

If you have any favorite locations, tips on the best times to go, or even advice on capturing the perfect sunset photo, please share! Thanks in advance for your insights.

Easy to Travel from Thessaloniki to Rhodes?

I’m planning a trip this year that might include both Thessaloniki and Rhodes, and I’m wondering how easy it is to travel between the two. I’m based in Greece and need to attend a family event in Thessaloniki, but then I’d love to head south for some sunshine on Rhodes afterward.

Has anyone done this route recently? What’s the best way—fly, ferry, or a combination of flights and ferry? How long do transfers typically take, and is it easy to book everything in summer (prices, availability)? I’m especially curious about travel time, costs, and any tips to make it smooth—like where to fly into, which airlines or ferry companies are reliable, and whether it’s worth combining both in one trip.

I’m just exploring options at this point, so any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Is Thessaloniki good for solo travelers?

Hi everyone! I’m thinking about planning a solo trip to Thessaloniki and was wondering—is it a good destination for solo travelers?

I’ve heard it has great food, lots of history, and a vibrant energy, which all sound amazing. But I’d love to hear from people who’ve been there on their own. I went once, a long time ago, but it was in a group (my family).

I’m hoping for a mix of chill exploring and cultural experiences, maybe even some beach time if possible.

Would love any tips, stories, or advice from anyone who’s done Thessaloniki solo. Thanks so much!

Getting to Know the Creative Side of Thessaloniki

As Thessaloniki continues to change, I’m curious about the creative side of the city that exists beyond the obvious landmarks and nightlife. Not just big festivals or well-known venues, but the quieter, everyday forms of creativity that shape how the city feels.

I’m interested in places where people make things: small galleries, independent bookstores, workshops, rehearsal spaces, studios, writing groups, and informal gatherings. I’m also curious how creativity shows up in daily life, in neighborhoods, cafés, street culture, or the way people use public space.

For those who live there or spend time in the city, what feels genuinely creative to you? Are there neighborhoods, spaces, or habits that come to mind? And has the creative scene changed in recent years, or stayed largely the same? Any personal observations or lesser-known examples would be especially welcome from locals here.

How Did Thessaloniki Feel the First Time You Visited?

The first visit to a city often leaves a very specific imprint — not just what you saw, but how your body reacted to being there. Some places feel impressive, others overwhelming, and some quietly settle into you without asking permission.

I’m curious about people’s first experiences of Thessaloniki. When you arrived for the first time, how did it feel?

Did the city come across as familiar or unexpected? Calm or charged? Did the sea change your sense of space? Was it the pace, the light, the food, the conversations drifting past cafés, or something harder to name? Sometimes it’s not a landmark that sticks, but a mood — the way time moved, or didn’t. It has been so long since I was there for the first time!
