Don't get me wrong I love Athens but its too much pavement and not enough breeze! I personally love Thessaloniki because it has beautiful views of the water and pretty good beaches nearby! :) :) I can't wait to go back this summer

This is such a beautiful city! Athens is great, too, but you're right, the fact that Thessaloniki is right on the water does make it really special.

Summer Festivals in Thessaloniki

I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki this summer and am really excited to experience the local culture. I've heard there are some fantastic cultural festivals in the area, but I haven't been able to find much information online.

Does anyone know of any upcoming summer cultural festivals in Thessaloniki? I'd love to hear about any events that celebrate music, dance, art, or even local traditions. Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Outdoor Shopping in Thessaloniki

I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki and I'm really excited about exploring the local markets and outdoor shopping spots. I've heard that Thessaloniki has a vibrant shopping scene, especially when it comes to open-air markets and local boutiques.

Can anyone recommend the best outdoor shopping areas in Thessaloniki? Thanks in advance!

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.

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!

Public transportation in Thessaloniki?

I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki and would appreciate some advice on the public transportation system. How reliable and convenient are the buses? Are there any other public transport options I should consider? Also, is it easy to get around the city without a car? Any tips on purchasing tickets or navigating the routes would be really helpful. We're hoping to explore the city extensively, so any insights on the best ways to get around would be greatly appreciated.
