Hotels of Greece
Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki (or Saloniki or Salonika) is a very different city from Athens but no less sophisticated and (some might say) culturally superior. The influence of the east is more pronounced, not just in the delicious food, but in the relaxed lifestyle. Thessaloniki is a big city, the most important port in the Balkans, with an almost college town feel, like Boston or Austin, but Greek. The nightlife in Thessaloniki is exceptional, the bars and clubs play great music. The restaurants and ouzeries are among the best in Greece. There are beaches in and around the city and some of the best beaches in Greece within an hour's drive. To get the full experience stay in the center where everything is walkable. For more information see my Guide to Thessaloniki.
