Holidays in Thessaloniki

An introduction to Thessaloniki

It's the regional capital of Macedonia. It's the country's second city. It's a modern port with ancient city walls. And it's got that buzz about it – the vibrancy and confidence of a place that knows it's good. Pace yourself for holidays in Thessaloniki …there are fabulous things to do and places to see …

With stylish stores and arty shops, Thessaloniki holidays are an obvious choice for serious shoppers. And summer holidays to Thessaloniki can be packed agendas for culture vultures too. Ancient Macedonian treasures are exhibited in the very respected Archaeological Museum, while Byzantine art tops the bill in the 16th century White Tower – in prime position on the seafront. If churches are your thing, see the 4th century Rotonda, 7th century mosaics in Aghios Dimitrios and, a hundred years younger, the church-mosque-church chequered past of Aghia Sofia. The relics of a Roman Agora will please those whose day is ruined without ruins. And gourmets and gannets alike will find the range of restaurants and tavernas inexhaustible.

But give yourself a break for sea and scenery too … there's a liberal sprinkling of relaxed resorts across the Halkidiki peninsulas, and transport's comparatively cheap. Holidays to Thessaloniki are best enjoyed as a meze of all the region has to offer. Look for last minute holidays to Thessaloniki and look forward to a little of everything.
