]]> If you are visiting Greece, then Athens is probably your primary destination. But let’s say you have already been there or want to extend your stay in the country and get to know it a bit better. In that case, these are the cities you should head to next.

Corfu Town

Corfu Town is one of the most unique destinations in Greece. Located on the island of Corfu, the city is known for its exceptional Venetian architecture that made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll enjoy exploring its churches, museums, and mansions alongside other stunning architecture. As a bonus, Corfu Town has amazing beaches that offer perfect conditions for relaxing.

Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is a city with a rich history. It was ruled by various different empires since being founded in 315 BC, with each empire leaving its mark on its architecture and culture. It is one of the best places to find Roman and Byzantine ruins and archeological sites in Greece, while visitors also get to explore intriguing Ottoman monuments that are still around.

Nafplio

Nafplio was once the capital of modern Greece before Athens took that place in 1893. After losing its status as the country’s administrative center, Nafplio became a major touristic destination thanks to its picturesque vibe, intriguing sights, and great weather. Due to its proximity to Athens, it is a popular day-trip destination.

]]> If you’re thinking of visiting Greece, chances are pretty good that Athens is on your agenda. But there’s another Greek city that is also well worth visiting. We’re talking about Thessaloniki, and here is why you won’t want to miss it.

The Nightlife

With a large student population, Thessaloniki is full of great bars and clubs. Whether you’re into a beer at a dive bar or a wild night dancing until the sunrise, there are options for you.

The Ancient Remains

While downtown Thessaloniki was rebuilt after a fire in 1917, leaving it fairly modern, there are also areas with Roman and Byzantine remains, like the Roman Rotunda from 306 AD and the Arch of Galerius.

The Food

With influences from a multitude of cultures, you can expect to sample so many different cuisines and foods in Thessaloniki from pasta to bougatsa to salepi and koulouri. Curious what these all are? Go find out in Thessaloniki.

The Wildlife

Somewhat unexpectedly, a trip to Thessaloniki can also include a trip Lake Kerkini, 100 kilometers away, where you can see over 300 species of birds and even buffalo. There’s also plenty of adventure and water sports to try out if you like to be active.

]]> The city of Thessaloniki is the capital of the region of Macedonia. Thessaloniki is very different from Athens and is modern, cosmopolitan, and rich in culture.

Here’s a brief guide to the city, and its main attractions.

The city of Thessaloniki is vibrant and lively. On the weekend, the harbor in the heart of the city is filled with couples and groups strolling along the shoreline. 

The emblem of the city is the white tower built in the 15th century and is located near the beach.

The main sites of Thessaloniki are the White Tower—which provides a beautiful view of the city—the Archaeological Museum of the city, the Museum of Folklore, and the Church of Aya Sophia.

It is recommended to start the day at the Heptapyrgion fortress in the Turkish Quarter. From the fortress, which is located on top of a hill, you can enjoy a view of the whole city, and of course the Aegean Sea. 

From there you can continue to the church of Ios Dimitrios, visit the colorful Modiano market, the white tower, and the promenade around it, and take a stroll in Aristotel Square.

Finish the day at a local tavern, where you can enjoy good wine and excellent local food.
