Why Visit Thessaloniki?

Greece’s second – and hippest – city brings together influences from the east and west. Empires and civilisations – Romans, Macedonians, Ottomans – over the millennia have left their mark on this vibrant city, but it packs in modernity and style. The northern Greek city is reported to have the best nightlife in the country, and its remarkable cuisine, taking in the influences from both the east and west, is a draw to all. If that isn’t enough, it’s renowned for its fashion and style.
No trip to Thessaloniki would be complete without a visit to its most famous structure, the White Tower, one of the best-known remaining Ottoman structures in Greece. From here, you have spectacular views of the city. There are more than 50 churches in the city, such as the Agia Sophia, that are worth exploring. Museums and historic buildings abound and are easily accessible throughout this walk-able city. The beach region of Halkidiki is less than 72.5 km from Thessaloniki for those craving some Greek sun and sand.

Don't Forget Before you Fly

British passport holders don’t need a visa to travel to any country in the EU – you can stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
