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. ☀️☀️

Since I went to Thessaloniki with a tour, the hotel I stayed in was 40 minutes away from the city center, so I don't recommend staying far from the center. Our guide told us that if we wanted to use a taxi, it would cost 45 Euros from the city center to the hotel. It is a city with a young population and nightlife in summer. The promenade and Aristoteles square were incredible! There is a wide variety of bars and if you want to eat there are many tavernas. There is also musical entertainment in the tavernas and the ouzo is really good. We paid 45 euros for the taverna but it was part of the tour package so it was more expensive. Even 20-30 Euros will be enough. Thessaloniki is a really colorful and fun city. I felt very comfortable even in the side streets and did not encounter any problems. I also saw that there are tours from the city center to various beaches. I can say that Thessaloniki is one of the most beautiful places to go in summer!

was a fun city and unsuspectingly fun, close to beautiful beaches. some harassment but everyone was friendly and the food was amazing and within a very easy budget. Very walkable and beautiful views of the ocean, accommodation was easy as well. A lot of cats and cool ruins but overall it is a port city not very beachy itself. In terms of harassment some men selling bracelets were very forward with their tactics sometimes with physical contact, but besides that there is not a lot of negative interaction.

As a young woman, I feel safe walking home alone at night. I have been living in Thessaloniki for nearly 3 months, and I have never experienced offensive, harassing or disturbing behaviour from locals so far.

It’s a relatively calm city, but since it’s large, crime levels vary depending on the area. Generally, the eastern parts are safe, as well as the city center due to increased activity. The western areas are less safe.

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! ✨

Hello girls! I am a travel enthusiast who can't wait to explore the world's destinations from the locals' perspective. I am struggling to make money as I study Chemical Engineering in the same time so this app seems like a good idea. I live in Thessaloniki, a greek town full of life and finally with metro! I've met a lot of abroad students which helped me be open-minded and that's why I am on this app!
