Group travel

I felt safe, I spent under 25 euros a day. Food was amazing. I went with tour so my experience was limited yet I highly recommend. Every person I've encountered seems to understand english. It is refreshing walking in the Aristoteles square and trying greek pastries thereby.

Family travel

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

Solo travel

It 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.

There are regions such us the city center and the harbor that are pretty safe both in day and night. However while night you have to be extremely careful bc there are many drunk people in the streets. Also must always check on your bags while using public transportation because of the pickpockets (there are not so many but... better safe than sorry:)). But overall I wouldn't say that Thessaloniki is a dangerous town. You just have to be careful at crowded places and small streets at night

Thessaloniki is a safe city ! The only area you should avoid at night is “Bardaris” and it’s the west side of the center !! Overall I haven’t experienced anything in my time here! I’m 6 years in Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki in most parts is 100% safe all day and night long . There are certain places you should avoid walking by or staying because there are “ghettos” near the main bus station and train station . There is also a neighbourhood you should avoid at any cost and I’m not even joking it’s called Dendropotamos . Otherwise the centre of the city, Aristotelous square , Saint Sophia , Navarinou Square and everything east and north from that are very safe to go and live . There are also west side districts that are great like ilioupoli and euosmos but you should drive there. Also , Thessaloniki is not a great place to ride a bike.
