I am thinking of visiting Thessaloniki this summer to visit a few friends and learn more about the history of the city...I am wondering where would be the best place to stay? What is the niehgborhood that is most central and next to the most activities? What would you recommend?
 
Maybe this article can help you find a good area? There are a lot of options:


Anyone else have any advice? I don't know a heck of a lot about Thessaloniki... I only went once, and I was too young to remember much.
 
Hey there. Guess it’s OK, mate. Have you tried looking for some hotels on Airbnb or booking dot com? When I went to Surfers Paradise, we stayed at a random hotel my son found. As I remember, it was a Novotel Surfers Paradise hotel. My son just googled hotels near me and chose it. We had an urgent flight too, so we didn’t plan to stay there for a long time actually. Still, life has its own plans. We stayed there for a week or two. It’s a nice hotel to stay at, actually. So, hope it will be helpful for you.

I've come across the buzz that Thessaloniki ranks high as a sought-after spot in Greece. It's on my radar for a future trip, likely in the upcoming summer.
 
Thessaloniki is a fantastic choice for your summer trip! The city center is where it's all happening, and it's close to a ton of activities. If you're looking for recommendations, you can't go wrong with areas like Ladadika or hanging around Aristotelous Square. These spots are buzzing with life, and you'll have easy access to historical sites, great dining, and vibrant nightlife. As someone who's always itching to explore, I get it! Recently, I had the chance to dive into Memphis and let me tell you, it's got some killer places to crash. If you ever find yourself in Bluff City, you've gotta check out my personal favorites for the best places to stay in Memphis. They'll add a whole new level of awesomeness to your trip.

Good markets to visit in Thessaloniki?

I'm planning a visit to Thessaloniki soon, and I'm really keen on exploring the local markets there. I've heard that the city is rich in history and culture, and I believe that visiting local markets is one of the best ways to immerse oneself in the local atmosphere and perhaps find some unique items to bring back home.

Does anyone have recommendations for markets in Thessaloniki that are worth visiting? I'm interested in anything from food markets where I can taste local delicacies, to flea markets where I might find interesting antiques or crafts. Also, if you have any tips on the best days and times to visit, as well as what I might expect in terms of items available and price ranges, that would be incredibly helpful!

Looking forward to your suggestions and thank you in advance for sharing your insights!

Visiting the Museum for Macedonian Struggle in Thessaloniki?

I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki soon and I've heard a lot about the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle. It seems like a place with rich historical significance and I'm keen on exploring more about the region's history through this museum. I would appreciate any advice or insights from those who have visited or are familiar with the museum.

What do you think, is this worth visiting? It has a personal significance for me, as well as an historical one. I have a good friend who is passionate about this cause.

Byzantine heritage of Thessaloniki?

I've recently developed a keen interest in Byzantine history and its remarkable cultural heritage. Having read that Thessaloniki has a rich tapestry of Byzantine monuments and sites, I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for some insight.

I'd love to hear anyone's experiences in visiting Thessaloniki with a focus on its Byzantine past. Could you share recommendations on must-see sites? Particularly, I'm interested in the architecture related to Byzantium and if there's a museum about it I can visit.

Thanks in advance!

New Year's Celebration in Thessaloniki?

Does anyone know what is going on in Thessaloniki for New Year's? There's a chance I could be in the city this year during it and I want to get a feel for what to expect. I went to Greece to visit some family over Christmas.

I heard that they light fireworks at midnight somewhere? Is this true? I'll be visiting some people, so I am assuming they know what is going on, but I want to have a general feel for it.

Some cities have a big celebration outside. I didn't know if Thessaloniki was one of those places.

Why So Many Starbucks in Thessaloniki?

I was in Thessaloniki this past summer and I noticed more than one Starbucks. Why are there so many?

Not only that, but I am curious if the Greek population has embraced it and if they're popular.

Lots of people were in all that I saw, but I couldn't tell if it were Greeks, tourists, students, etc...

I had thought that Greek coffee drinks were different, and I had no idea Greeks liked coffee like this!
