  • Paralia is back !

    Paralia is the seaside of the city, the favourite stroll and coffee meeting place for all city locals. Unfortunately for the last 2 years it was closed for renovation works. The wait is finally over and today it was given back to the public ! Yeah ! Although the weather was rather gloomy, many locals did…

  • Open Bus Sightseeing Tour

    It is only until very recently that Thessaloniki got it’s own sightseeing tour bus and I am really glad it finally did ! If you have visited Thessaloniki in the past you didn’t have the chance to view it this way before !  You would probably have to walk a lot, or try to figure…

It is Thessaloniki’s most traditional part of the city, still featuring small stone paved streets, old…
