The Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival is an annual international competition that showcases artists from around the world that create some of the best documentaries. The submission ends pretty soon on January 12! Your documentary must be over 70 minutes long to be eligible for entry into the film festival. I am excited too see all of the submissions and see who ends up winning the award! Best of luck to all of the filmmakers.

I agree - this is one of my favorite things to do in Thessaloniki, and the film festival is a great one not only for Greece, but the independent film industry as a whole.

I believe that the films are only getting better and better in the last few years. I have seen a resurgence of great cinema in Greece and it makes me so happy!

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.
