IN THE HEART OF OUR CITY YOU’LL FEEL
OUR WELCOME HEART BEAT
Thessaloniki, and its people make all the difference to the city, aptly expressed in its motto, “Many stories, one heart.” You’ll have the opportunity to write your own story with Thessaloniki and its people in the heart of the city, Aristotle Square, the brainchild of the famous French architect, Ernest Hebrard.


Unlike so many cities, Thessaloniki never sleeps. Even during the darkest hours of the night there is always something happening, the lights are always on somewhere and you can always find an open convenience store. It is partly why it is one of the safest cities to explore and roam around at any time of day or night.


There are so many events in the city that when you arrive you might be sharing Aristotelous Square with a musical concert, an exhibition, gathering or festive seasonal entertainment. Within easy walking distance you can visit the famous Olympion Cinema, whose halls host the lion’s share of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival each November, where you can even meet and talk to the actors and directors as well as see their inspiring films.
There are plenty of bars and venues that host live music of all genres, from contemporary rock, pop, jazz and blues to more eastern and the popular Greek bouzouki music. Most of them are in the Ladadika area opposite the port. In Thessaloniki we stay out until the sun rises the following day, until the coffee shops are open, because entertainment really matters to us!
