Tattooligans

Its initial name was “Magic Needles” which remained until 2004, when it was finally changed to “Tattooligans”. In the last 5 years,…

ΙΓΓΛΙΣ ( english )
Yes, that is correct the greek name of this place means english. This is one of (if not THE) most historical taverns of the city. It first opened in 1914 and moved to its current location in Ano Poli in the 60’s. It has a very long history as you can imagine, as it changed…

Yasemi
“YASEMI” means Jasmine and this is a place made in heaven. So small and so cute, it feels like home. Everything is handmade including some of the homemade liqueurs.

Toms
Your probably already know Toms shoes, but maybe you do not know that Thessaloniki has one of the first Toms coffee spots that opened last April. The location is fantastic very central and yet a bit off the crowds and also close enough for me to enjoy a quick coffee break. You can easily walk…

Oval
October offers us the last days of summer living, sitting outside and enjoying sunshine. As you probably know if you have spent more than a week in Thessaloniki, the waterfront or Paralia offers a lot of options for coffee & drinks. However what happens if you get there around noon or later on a weekend…
