Welcome to Thessaloniki Thessaloniki is a Greek port city on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea Evidence of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman history remains, especially around Ano Poli, the upper town The ruins of Roman Emperor Galerius’ 4th-century palace include the Rotunda that has been both a church and a mosque

Much of the city center was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1917 The rebuilt 20th-century city has a modern European layout Fabulous food; rich cultural heritage; stunning scenery – Greece’s second-largest city has it all We’ve rounded up the very best of Thessaloniki to make sure you don’t miss out on this seaside star

Athens may get the headlines, but for food, shopping and access to the Aegean Thessaloniki punches well above its weight This is a year-round destination, with a youthful energy all of its own, and there’s always something to do and see

From ancient archaeological sites to contemporary art exhibitions, explore on foot and take your pick of the cafes bakeries and independent shops and restaurants that line the streets in this bustling port city Like so many cities in Greece, the history of Thessaloniki can be read through the different architectural styles found throughout the city

From the Roman period, you’ve got the remarkably well-preserved Roman Agora in the center of town as well as the Rotunda and Arch of Galerius The signature style of the Byzantine empire is found throughout the city but especially at Agios Demetrios

Church and the Byzantine Baths, both protected Unesco sites and not to be missed Thessaloniki is well known for its amazing and varied street food, pastries and late-night eats but it also has incredible fine dining Its culinary heritage is as rich as its history, with influences from both Europe and Asia

Then fast-forward to present time and see how the creative heart of Thessaloniki continues to pulse at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art Arguably Thessaloniki’s best asset is its seaside location. The promenade is the place to be in the evenings for a sunny stroll, ice cream in hand

Or go further and take a ferry from the port of Thessaloniki to the Sporades Cyclades, or Northern Aegean Islands. It’s a great way to fit in a Greek island on your trip Thessaloniki is one of the most beautiful cities in Greece

To get a full view of the landscape head up to the Eptapyrgio Castle It’s a fantastic spot to catch the sun setting in the sea and then watching the city lights flicker below The White Tower is another vista spot that will take your breath away, literally!

There’s hundreds of stairs to the top but well worth the view of the sea and city below Warm and generous, Thessaloniki is at the same time historic and avant-garde ideal for a city break or stopover and a fascinating mix of holiday memories in northern Greece

Greece’s second city is unlike anywhere else in the country Thessaloniki is both a sprawling urban centre and a cultural melting pot, where dreams, ideas visions and trends percolate in an alternative, avant-garde scene Its history is written upon everything that surrounds you, with ancient monuments (Greek and Roman)

Found amongst buildings that tell the story of the city’s more recent Byzantine, Ottoman and Jewish influences It has become one of Europe’s coolest city break destinations (welcoming flights to its international airport) with a well-earned reputation for food and nightlife and a colourful arts & culture scene

Galleries and museums, international cinema and arts festivals, traditional tavernas, gourmet restaurants and street food as well as exhibition and conference centres … you’ll find it all And above all, you’ll get a Thessaloniki-sized, warm-hearted welcome from the locals Thessaloniki is, above all, a city made to be strolled

A walking tour of Thessaloniki allows you to trace the civilisations and people that have left their mark The Palace, Triumphal Arch and Rotunda (which formed the city’s administrative and religious centre during the reign of Emperor Galerius Maximilianos in the early 4th century AD) are the preeminent legacy of Roman times

Meanwhile, the Jewish Museum recreates the life of the Jewish community in pre-war Salonica And don’t forget to visit the former home of Kemal Ataturk, founder of modern Turkey, an architectural reminder of the Ottoman occupation In the White Tower (one of the symbols of Thessaloniki) by the waterfront, you’ll enjoy an interactive museum tour

Before emerging on the rooftop and being treated to a 360-degree view of the Thermaic Gulf and the city landscape And in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, you’ll explore the extraordinary breadth of the region’s Macedonian culture, with artefacts such as the Petralona Hoard and the gold wreaths for which the Macedonians were famed

Thessaloniki is small enough to walk from Aristotelous Square in the centre to the Upper Town (alternatively take a taxi or bus) Once there, spend as long as you like exploring the narrow lanes of one of the oldest districts of Thessaloniki

It is home to Venetian castles (the Trigoniou Tower and Eptapyrgio fortifications) as well as more Ottoman monuments the Vlatades Monastery and the Byzantine churches of Osios David and Agios Nikolaos Orfanos It is the best-preserved district of the old city, with views across the sea and (on clear days) to Mt Olympus

Restaurants have made Thessaloniki a renowned foodie destination in Greece Istanbul and Pontos, the Balkans and the Mediterranean, Macedonia and Thrace all these cultures will make their way onto your plate Thessaloniki’s cuisine is known for its meze (small plates intended for sharing) and recipes that the 1920s refugees brought from Asia Minor

They also brought the tradition of patsa (tripe soup) and Thessaloniki’s famous bougatsa The last of your experiences in Thessaloniki isn’t in Thessaloniki at all As Greece’s main city in the north, it’s perfectly situated for excursions into the countryside, from the beaches of Halkidiki
