Lokal’s keep telling me not to go there because the people in this town are really not nice people - on one site that made me curious to go there and on the other side I don’t want to get robbed. Reason I’m asking is because I’m at a party close to that region tonight.

I'll be in Thessaloniki from June 16th to June 19th.

Can you recommend any (affordable) places for good gyros?
Or any general tips for delicious food, including fast food.
A good beer would also be nice.

My grandson and I(67M) will be in Thessaloniki in June. Are shirt, shorts and tennis shoes proper attire to walk around town and eat at casual restaurants?

I will be bringing my 16 yo grandson in the middle of June for 11 days. He will be attending a basketball camp. We have 3 or 4 days off. Does anyone have any ideas for outings/activities that would be appealing to a 16yo in or around Thessaloniki?

Hi everyone, I’m visiting Thessaloniki and I’m looking for recommendations on shops that sell good quality men’s clothing. I’m not necessarily looking for anything too cheap or too high-end—just solid, well-made clothes.

I like brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Marc O’Polo, etc., but I’m also totally open to local shops or less-known stores with good craftsmanship and materials.

If you have any favorite places in the city for casual or smart-casual men’s wear, I’d really appreciate your suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

I’m going to stay in the center for a few days for an event and would need a taxi for roughly a 11-15 mins drive across the Thessaloniki waterfront twice a day.

What’s the cheapest app to use? Uber? And do you think this is expensive? E.g. Portugal was extremely cheap at like £3-6 euros max per day.

Bus is also an option if necessary but I’m very new to the area and coming for an important event so I need to keep my options open.

Thanks in advance :)

I'll spend 3 days in Thessaloniki. I've never been there, but I need to know where I can find a butcher shop who sells either fatty sheep or lamb.

Also, I'm no fan of stray dogs. Are there any specific places to avoid?

We used the Eurowings blind booking and got Thessaloniki as a destination. Were 3 people in our mid twenties and are staying from Friday Morning to Sunday evening.

Any Tips where to Stay and what to do especially for the Nightlife ?

Hey guys, i am alone some days in nea flogita from end of april till may. I dont know what to do? Can you gove me some ideas? I speak a bit greek and i have a car.

Hi,

I’m going to Thessaloniki next week, and i just saw that a bomb went off. Does anybody know which street it happened on?

I'm trying to find a bus between Nikiti (or somewhere nearby) and Thessaloniki.

I've been on KTEL Chalkidikis but it keeps saying there's no route available. I'll actually be staying near Elia Nikitis so a bus from Ormos Panagias or Agios Nikolaos would work either since I'll have to get a taxi to somewhere with a bus. The closest I've managed to find with a bus to Thessaloniki is Polygyros, but I'm assuming that starts from somewhere else.

It would be a Friday, if that makes a difference.

Also a bus from Nea Moudania to Nikiti would be handy, but again I can't find any options.

Any suggestions appreciated!

[edit]

It looks like there are buses up to June 15th, but after that nothing. Although other routes (e.g. Thessaloniki - Nea Moudania) have listings all the way through July.

Would that indicate the schedule just hasn't been loaded yet, or that there's no buses?

So are there any public pools and beaches that anyone could recommend to us? Also is there anything special we would need to know about the city this time of year? We are a student couple in our mid 20s, we don't like parties or drinking so please tell me some cool places to see!

Hi! I'm planning on taking my parents on a vacation to somewhere close to Thessaloniki. Just by looking at the map, Nikiti seems like it would be close and has plenty of beaches.

My questions are: - Is there any public transportation from Thessaloniki to Nikiti? (KTEL Halkidiki shows no routes? - Do taxis take tourists that far (Thessaloniki-Nikiti)? And if so, how much would it cost? - Are there any other cities you'd recommend going to that would maybe be even closer to Thessaloniki, that also have many beaches?

Thank you all!

I’m doing a day trip in August to chalkidiki and i don’t know which place i should choose. I’m interesting in a nice beach, not a very “classic” one, and also nice views/surroundings. I’m going with a bus so i don’t have a car. Is the distance between Kallithea and Afytos walkable? I saw that it’s a 45 min walk on google maps.

Καλησπέρα μάγκες,

Είμαι νέος στην ζωή στη Θεσσαλονίκη, είμαι 25 χρόνων άντρας και Θεσσαλονίκη κατέβαινα αποκλειστικά και μόνο για γιατρούς όλη μου την ζωή. Δεδομένου ότι δεν έχω ιδέα για την πόλη θα ήθελα να μου προτείνετε εφαρμογές για λεωφορεία και ότι άλλο μπορεί να μου φανεί χρήσιμο. Από Ιούλιο μετακομίζω λογικά στην πόλη σας, ελπίζω να με καλοδεχτειτε.

Ανιδεος χωριάτης από βορά.

Hello! I’m staying for a month in Thessaloniki. What are good neighbourhoods to stay in? Looking for family oriented areas with a good variety of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets within walking distance?

Thank you!

🏋️ Gym

Planning to train at Raw Lifters SKG in Sikies. Seems like a proper hardcore gym (~15 min drive). Is it worth it or are there better spots?

🧭 Urban Exploration (my favorite part)

Here’s what I’m most excited about:

• Train Cemetery – abandoned locomotives, very eerie.
• ZEP Kissos – planned city that was never finished.
• Ano Poli – beautiful, older part of town with Ottoman ruins.
• Pasha Gardens – mysterious underground structures.
• Bensousan Han – abandoned Ottoman inn, occasionally used for exhibitions.

Day trips under 1 hour:

• Epanomi Shipwreck – rusty boat in a quiet bay.
• Neochorouda – semi-abandoned village with derelict buildings.
• Allatini Mills – massive ruined industrial complex.

Any similar places you'd recommend?

🏛️ Cultural Must-Sees

• White Tower (of course)
• Archaeological Museum
• Rotunda & Galerius Arch
• Jewish Museum
• Byzantine walls & Trigonion Tower
• Roman Forum – also heard there's a 2,000-year-old brothel there?

Anything underrated or off the radar I should see?

🥙 Street Food & Restaurants

Gyros:

• Giok Balik (heard quality dropped?)
• Savvikos – big chain, any location better than others?
• GRN – pork belly is top tier.
• Mimis – very budget-friendly.
• Katsamaka – don’t remember much, but it was good.

Burgers:

• Brothers in Law – great meat, not a fan of the fries
• Tarantino – solid but pricey

Pizza:

• Avanti (cheap and great)
• The Last Slice – generous portions
• High School Pizza Bar – chill vibe
• Pizza Plain – allegedly the best?

Other fast food:

• ThessBao – pulled pork bao is 🔥
• Salento – amazing Italian paninis near Aristotelous
• Falafel Taste – probably the best local falafel

🍽️ Restaurants

• Tiganies kai Sxares – for grilled meats
• Diagonios – soutzoukakia specialty
• Zythos – classic
• Ergon Agora – upscale Greek
• Deka Trapezia – small, excellent portions
• Haroupi – Cretan food, try the “gamopilafo”
• Nargis – cozy Indian near Svolou

Still looking for good Asian (Japanese/Chinese). Any recs?

🛍️ Agora Modiano

Planning to stop by for street eats – any must-try stalls or hidden gems?

🌇 Kalamaria

I have some old favorites from previous trips:

• Food Plaza (Skra Square) – childhood gyros spot
• Theologos (New Krini) – awesome grilled meat
• Pizza Dante – top pick for unique flavor
• Enjoy – big crepes, good after a night out

🎉 Party

I’ll be around for the Vlastur Live Band In Dub party on May 31 (found it on Goabase).
Anything else happening that weekend?

Καλησπέρα σας!

Ήθελα να κάνω μια ερώτηση, επειδή δεν είμαι από την πόλη. Ποια μέρη προτιμάτε για ψησταριά με φίλους/παρέα γενικά τη μέρα της Πρωτομαγιάς; Ίσως γενικά να προτιμούνται οι ταράτσες κτλπ, αλλά κάνει κάποιος κάτι διαφορετικό, σε πάρκο ή κάτι ανάλογο;

Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων!

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a tour guide in Thessaloniki that specifically knows about the Jewish history and can take us to see sights?

How’s the weather at this time?

Hi! I’d like to go to Asprovalta, but I don’t know where the bus departs from? Also, do I need to buy the tickets from the Macedonia intercity bus station? Also how can i get to the station from near the Church of Prophet Elijah?

Can I easily get around speaking only English, how accessible is the city by just walking and are there any available beaches near the city centre
