Katerini is a lesser known beach and tourist town near Thessaloniki. There are some great restaurants right by the water that are very authentic and offer many different options like meze as well as home style Greek food. I’ve only visited once but I plan on going again when I visit Thessaloniki. Have any of you visited.

I’m planning a trip to Thessaloniki and I'm really interested in exploring the local wine scene. Are there any great wine bars in the city that you’d recommend? I’d love to find spots that offer a variety of Greek wines, especially ones from the local region, and have a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

When to Visit Thessaloniki?

I’m planning a trip to Thessaloniki and would love some advice on the best time of year to visit. I’m interested in exploring the city’s historical sites, enjoying the local cuisine, and soaking up the atmosphere, but I’m not sure when the ideal time to go would be.

I’d like to avoid the extreme heat of summer if possible, but I still want to experience pleasant weather that’s good for sightseeing and outdoor activities. I’ve heard that Thessaloniki has a vibrant cultural scene—are there any specific festivals or events that happen during certain times of the year that I shouldn’t miss?

Street Art of Thessaloniki - Finding During Visit

I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki and have heard that the city has a vibrant street art scene. I'm really interested in exploring this aspect of the city and would love some advice on where to find the best street art.

Are there particular neighborhoods or streets in Thessaloniki that are known for their murals and graffiti? I’m especially interested in areas where the art reflects the local culture or tells a story about the city’s history.

Also, are there any street art festivals or events that might be happening while I’m there? I’d love to time my visit to coincide with something like that.

If anyone has favorite pieces or knows of local artists whose work I should look out for, please share!

Specifically, I'm interested in neighborhoods that offer:
