Thessalonika

As Greece’s second largest city, Thessalonika is a far cry from the sleepy towns of rural Greece. Instead visitors can expect a cultured, vibrant and exciting destination where retail therapy and excellent tapas bars are never far away. Although lacking the fame of the Athens capital, Thessalonika still offers an impressive display of ancient culture and ruins, not to mention a buzzing social scene supported by the booming student population of the prestigious local university.
