Thessaloniki, North Aegean

Thessaloniki is a city shaped by the sea, its waterfront unfolding along the Thermaic Gulf. The White Tower rises as its most familiar landmark, while the city’s history is told through Roman arches, Byzantine churches, Ottoman baths, and neoclassical mansions. Markets, tavernas, and lively squares add to a rhythm that feels both historic and contemporary.

The city’s role as a port makes it an important point of departure toward Chalkidiki and the northern Aegean islands. Modern marinas and facilities sit alongside archaeological sites, museums, and a rich nightlife, giving visitors the chance to experience both urban energy and direct access to nearby sailing routes.
