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.

Thessaloniki is overall a safe city for everyone but there are areas that you should be more careful (especially the west side of the city) i leave here almost two years i never experienced something bad outside of catcalling and a small robbery at a club !!!! As women we should always have eyes open but i never felt danger in this city
Posted: January 14, 2025There is a little bit the feeling of unsafe but if you take care is ok. Basically when there is dark and you’re in a place where is not so crowded you can feel that. But always depend on the neighbourhood

My name is Emmanouela (Emma), Iam 18 years old living with my mom and I study primary education in the Aristotelio University of Thessaloniki. I like having fun and singing , although I’m not that good at it, and I would love to host someone from another country(I can host min 1 max 2 girls). I think it would be a very interesting experience cause I like meeting new people from other countries and learning about their culture and stuff. I would also like to be hosted😁.
