A Weekend in Cosmopolitan Thessaloniki, Greece
Curated by
Steve Michailidis
Named after Alexander the Great’s sister, Thessaloniki is often overlooked by first-time visitors to Greece but it is worth a visit for its cultural heritage, vibrant nightlife, as well as proximity to important historical sites and nature. As the co-capital of the Byzantine empire, a major commercial and passenger port and gateway to northern Greece and the Balkans, Greece’s second largest city has a lot to offer to both first-time and repeat visitors.
