Thessaloniki is such a beautiful city. The people are so nice and helpful, very social compared to where I come from. There is a lot of catcalling unfortunately, men of all age shouting and whistling, we were approached a few times too but it was handled with a simple story of telling that we're traveling with a man:’) I definitely recommend visiting Halkidiki; rent a car or take the bus! Also Ano Poli is worth it, the cafes and general vibe there made me want to stay there forever. There are a lot of places to eat at, I suggest just walking around and sitting down somewhere that looks good! I spent about 200€ during the 4 days there—that went to food, snacks and transportation. We stayed at an AirBnB which cost about 150€ for 4 nights, it was at a lovely location and easy to get to. If anyone wants our itinerary, just ask! I made a detailed schedule <3
Posted: May 26, 2025It is a really beautiful city which many different places. I had a really nice time and you get used to the city very fast. However after a few days it can get a little boring, since the city is not too big.

Thessaloniki is the biggest cultural city of northern Greece and here is what I did and how I felt there during my 3 nights stay: ▪︎ It was overall safe, but being pretty crowded during that period I felt like I have to be more alert. There are also a couple neighbourhoods that you would want to avoid as a solo traveler, but again, I didn't have any bad experience whatsoever. ▪︎ I did some self exploring during the first day, just wondering around the streets and parks, which felt quite idyllic during sunset 🌇 ▪︎ Next two days I had some activities booked in advance, such as day trips to Meteora and Edessa or dinner at the Skyline lounge bar, which I totally recommend - good wine, nice view and live music ✨️🥂 ▪︎ Definetly try local food, I was a huge fan of gyros, bougatsa and bougourdi and their freddo cappuccino. ▪︎ My accommodation was located right next to the city center and I paid around 150 euros for 3 nights via Booking. ▪︎ The public transportation is also very easy to use, I had no problem getting around town or between cities, but expect high traffic on the main streets 👀 Overall, definetly visit Thessaloniki if in Greece and if you can, spare some time for beach activities too ⛱️☀️

My friend and I stayed for two days in Thessaloniki. The food was quite tasty and affordable. People were not rude and it was a city where we felt safe. We visited the historical buildings and the castle of the city with our friends who guided and hosted us. We watched the city from the top and I recommend that you definitely watch the sunset here. ☀️☀️

Generally, it is a safe town. It's full of students as there are 2 big universities in the city. There are some areas that it's better to avoid going alone in the night but are not in the city center and it's very obvious when you are near that it's better not o go closer

Hello! I'm Lucia ☀️ I’m currently working as an au pair in Thessaloniki, enjoying the culture, the amazing food, and the breathtaking sunsets by the sea. I love meeting new people, discovering hidden spots, and learning about different ways of life. I’m using this app to connect with other travelers in Greece, make new friends, and start exploring more on my own. If you’re around, I’d love to grab a coffee, go for a walk, or plan a weekend getaway together! I’m also looking for travel buddies for future trips around Europe. If you're in the area or have solo travel tips, feel free to reach out! ✨

Hi! I’m a 22-year-old student from Greece with a love for deep conversations, traveling, dancing, theater improv, and the gym. I’m currently in Iceland with my sister, trying to find a job to save up before moving to Denmark this September for my Master’s in Web Communication. We really miss our dog Rico, who's back home in Greece. I love exchanging stories, learning about different cultures, and spreading good vibes wherever I go! 🌸🌺🌹Any kind of help—whether it’s advice, a short stay, or simply a chat—is truly appreciated!
