Agia Sophia
Visit the Old Orthodox Church, dedicated to Wisdom and the Word of God. It is, along with the churches of Agios Dimitrios and Acheiropoietos, one of the most important Early Christian monuments in Greece and the Orthodox world in general.
Architecturally, the church follows the type of the transitional cross-in-square design and is a development of a basilica with a dome. Remarkable mosaics survive in the church, especially in the areas of the altar and dome, dating from different periods, and they are excellent examples of Byzantine art.

Old Town - Kastra
It is perhaps one of the most beautiful sides of the city. Minutes away from the chaotic bustle of cars, where time seems to have stopped. In the neighborhood where it combines graffiti, despotic buildings and a kind of calmness. It will take endless walks to admire the Upper Town. Every time you think you've seen it all, a new path will appear.
Visit Vlatadon Monastery, the only Byzantine monastery build during the 14c in Thessaloniki that is still active today hosting 9 monks.
From the excellent position of the monastery, the visitor can admire the whole of Thessaloniki and Thermaikos from above, as the Monastery is located at an altitude of about 120 meters.
Streets with a mood
If there’s a city that’s become synonymous with nightlife and entertainment, this is it. Thessaloniki’s diverse neighbourhoods keep finding new ways to enthral visitors, with everything from traditional tavernas to concept bars for every taste.
Warm, diverse, young-hearted, vibrant and eternally welcoming, Thessaloniki knows just how to have fun. It is a product of its ever-evolving mix of influences, never shy to reinvent itself, particularly around its food & drink scene, which is at the heart of its emergence as one of Europe’s hottest city break destinations. You can just walk around until you find a place that grabs your fancy… designer store, meze restaurant, taverna or perhaps a wine, beer or cocktail bar. But it’s also worth knowing a few of the neighbourhoods that give it its edge, especially the ones where outdoor tables are buzzing from early-spring till late-autumn.
