Thessaloniki is the second largest town of Greece. Due to its central location, it serves as a commercial, business and transportation hub for all northern Greece. A town with long history and rich culture, it is an ideal city break and intermediate destination before heading to the beach resorts of Chalkidiki, Kavala and Pieria in northern Greece.

The most popular spot of the town is the Beach Promenade, where locals and visitors enjoy a long and relaxing walk any time of the day.

Aristotle Square also gets busy, as this is the centre of the city. Actually, most hotels in Thessaloniki are within a walking distance from this square.
