August 24th in Thessaloniki, and the summer heat is still very much alive. As locals slowly return from their vacations, the waterfront (Nea Paralia) is buzzing again with people taking their evening strolls to catch a welcome sea breeze.
If you’re walking near the iconic Umbrellas sculpture, there’s a sweet new addition you shouldn’t miss. Right across from the artwork, Joe’s Ice Cream—a vibrant food truck style canteen—opened its doors earlier this summer and has instantly become a favorite pit stop.
They serve high-quality, delicious artisanal ice cream with a huge variety of flavors to choose from. Whether you’re craving classic rich chocolate, refreshing fruity sorbets, or something a bit more adventurous, grabbing a scoop here while gazing out over the Thermaikos Gulf is the ultimate summer treatment.
Local Tip: Grab your favorite flavor and take a seat near the Umbrellas right at golden hour. It’s the best way to beat the August heat!
Love Thessaloniki
