Thessaloniki is the second largest city of Greece, located in the northwestern corner of the Aegean Sea on Thermaic Gulf. It is known for its stunning coastlines, cultural heritage and numerous festivals and events that help designate the city as the cultural capital of Greece. With a rich history, Thessaloniki is one of the liveliest places to visit which has a very active nightlife.
The highlight of Thessaloniki is the waterfront promenade along with stunning scenery and delicious food. The best way to explore this beautiful city is by walking in the neighbourhoods, which are bustling and vibrant with their own characteristics. The distance between most of the major sites is not more than a few minutes walk away. Thessaloniki is also a popular base for exploring northern Greece.
The little neighbourhoods of the small city of Thessaloniki seem big and chaotic due to shops and stores that are densely packed within each other. Devoid of the traditional gothic architecture of other European cities, Thessaloniki is more of a modern town with its own character. The city is home to several Byzantine landmarks that are scattered through its ancient cobbled yet modern terrain. Along with some historic buildings, Thessaloniki is home to six small islets with sandy, exotic coastlines.
