Destination:

Thessaloniki – the heart of northern Greece. Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece, considered the co-capital of the country. It’s the place the heart of Northern Greece beats since antiquity. It served as an economical and commercial centre for many years and has rapidly developed, mostly because of its geographical location.

A stroll around the city instantly reveals its rich history. The Old Town, the Castle of Heptapyrgio, the Rotunda, the emblematic White Tower built during the Ottoman rule are just a few of the city’s famous monuments that will please every culture and history enthusiast.

Nowadays it is considered a business hub for the Balkans as it hosts several conferences and major exhibitions including the Thessaloniki International Fair. In 2021 it was acknowledged as the first Greek city to join the UNESCO Network of Gastronomy.

Thessaloniki is the city people love to visit for its culture, cuisine, and hospitality.
