Tips from locals
Walk around Ano Poli, which is the old town of Thessaloniki, and you will feel like travelling back to time. Looking around for the remainings of the Byzantine and the Ottoman past of Thessaloniki while loosing yourself in the countless small alleys. No worries of getting lost though, just walk all way down towards the seafront and you will be back into the city buzz in no time!

On the north of Thessaloniki lies the Upper or Old Town, the only part of the city that survived the big fire of 1917. The Upper Town will make you feel as if time stood still; you’ll immediately be stricken by its unique style, so different from that of the rest of Thessaloniki that will travel you back to the city’s Byzantine past.
Do not miss out on the numerous little taverns with the traditional cuisine of Minor Asia and Macedonia that reflect the area’s history and cultural identity, at very reasonable prices.
